Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 acura tl type s. recently i have been having transmission problems. i took the car into the cealership and they told me that i need a recall done. what they did was install an oil jet to lubricate the 2nd gear better.(2nd gear is the supposed cause of failure) . after the oil jet was installed the dealership informed me that i would need a transmission replacement. i was outraged. i have to pay out of my pocket because they have a design flaw. on the way home from the dealership the transmission flat out died. the car wouldnt shift gears and i have to drive it home in 2nd gear. i dont know what to do, i am in no financial position to replace the transmission.*ak
