Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My husband and i have owned a 2002 acura tl-s since it was initially purchased. we know there is a recall on the transmission, and the warranty has been extended to 100,000 on the transmission. however since then at approximately every 30,000 miles, the transmissions has had failures. i am on my 3rd transmission after 2 replacements. we are at about 78,000 miles on this car and should be hitting 90,000 miles soon. this will be in about 6-8 months. the fact that acura just re-conditions the transmissions and puts it back in is really not resolving the issues. i am not the only one suffering with the thought that the car's transmission will give out soon again. there are lots of people who have listed this on auto forums on various websites. acura needs to really fix the transmission design or give a much better transmission warranty. their practice of simply re-conditioning faulty transmissions and putting them back in is not the solution. your assiatnce in getting a proper resolutions is appreciated. *nm
