Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Acura claims my 2003 acura 3.2tl type s is out of the vin# range that is covered by the extended 7/100k power train warranty to cover the defect in transmissions. i find out that the 03 i purchased a few months ago has had three different transmission replacements by acura and now needs its fourth. they claim that since its not included in the vin range of the warranty they won't cover it all and want me to pay $1200. clearly the service history shows a defect with this car and transmissions. the acura dealer diagnosed it and agrees i shouldn't have to pay, but the manufacturer doesn't agree. they still won't acknowledge that this vehicle should have been included in the vin range of the tsb. *jb
