Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The transmission on my 2003 acura tl type s failed at approximately 38000 miles. the transmission was recently serviced pursuant to a notice by acura. this is the third acura that i have owned that has had transmission failure. the first vehicle (2002) was replaced within two weeks. the second vehicle had two failures and was eventually replaced with a 2003 model after negotiation with their mediation group. it is very apparent that the transmissions are in fact defective, given the fact that honda motor co. ltd did finally issue a recall notice. based on my personal experience i am very concerned as to the safety of the vehicle, even with another transmission. i also fear for my safety as well as my family?s safety when operating the vehicle. this is amended information provided over the phone.*ak
