| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Acura 3.2 tl 2000 was purchased in 2000; the first transmission went out sometime within that first year. dealer replaced the transmission. the second transmission went out in same manner in 2003; the dealer replaced that transmission. the recall on the transmission was done in 2004; i took my car to dealer in response to recall; the work was done in july or august of that year. recently, was driving my car and it began to exhibit same problems i have had with the transmission each time car became inoperable. the car goes to 2 rpm and then gives a jerk; it will shift and then go to 4 rpm where it gets stuck and will have larger jerk (very unnerving). then the car will not shift at all and moves very slowly. i had a line of cars moving behind me on the last occurrence and i also had to cross some very busy streets. this model is very unsafe and i don't believe it can be repaired as this has happened for the fourth time -- even after the recall and the parts were installed to make it safe. the first occurrence was about seven to ten months after original purchase (january to may, 2001). the second occurrence was september, 2003. now the last occurrence in july, 2006. how many times does a transmission have to be repaired, replaced, recalled before it is safe to operate. *nm |
