Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am on my 6th transmission in a 3 year old vehicle. the 5th almost caused a wreck which would have hit the spot where my 3 year old was sitting. the 5th transmission lasted only 3 weeks! this car is paid for and i wanted to keep it forever. but, apparently, i will be forced to sell it(for next to nothing) before 100k miles since acura will only replace their bad tranny with a badder one for up to 100k miles. i do not feel safe in this vehicle. twice i have had near misses while trying to get to a safe place after the transmission totally locked up on me. can't anyone do anything about this?!?! how is it legal, or ethical (even though ethics seems to be a thing of the past in business anymore) to continually put people, and their families, back on the street knowing these cars are still unsafe. i am sorry, but i used to believe acura/honda was above that. obviously, i was wrong. *ak
