| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The car lost power, the engine rpm red lined but the car would not go. it left me stranded in the left lane of a 5 lane highway. i coasted into the center lane. the car would not go. fortunately the police pulled behind me and turned on their flashers. i turned off the engine, after a few minutes restarted the car and was able to slowly pull the car off the road. i was within a mile of my home and was able to get the car home and had it towed to the dealer. i found websites about 2002 and 2003 acura tl transmissions failing and being covered under service bulletin 04-020. almost every entry described the exact problem i had. acura extended the warranty to 100,000 miles for certain vin numbers and was replacing the transmission free of charge under warranty. unfortunately my vin was not within the required recall. acura said it was because they fixed the problem. obviously they did not. the safety issue continues and i suspect you are receiving other complaints. *jb |
