Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am the owner of a 2000 acura 3.2 tl that was jerking between 2nd and 3rd gears. this past saturday on my way to work on a busy city street while driving 45 miles per hour the car abruptly downshifted and the rpm went past the 8. i was able to coast my vehicle to the side of the road and have roadside assistance to tow it to my local dealer, stevenson acura of wilmington, nc. the dealer did an inspection and advsd me since my car has over 100k, 146k to be exact i am not covered under warranty and my second gear looks good and this is not a part of the recall and i would have to pay to replace the transmission. knowing 5 other people that own the same model car and the same exact occurence has happened i find it hard to believe that this is caused by normal wear and tear, especially since i previously owned a 1998 3.2tl that had over 198k when i traded it in and experienced no transmission problems at all.based on previous complaints on your site it appears this is not an isolated incident and i feel very violated by a company that i have been so loyal to. this is absurd!!!!!
