| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Immediately following the purchase of my new acura 3.2 tl type-s i began experiencing unusual jerking and shifting while operating my vehicle. i have taken my vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions to be serviced for this as well as due to the check engine light being on. initially they stated they could not duplicate my complaint in comparison to other similar vehicles. i have already had the oil jet kit installed, and have also had the transmission replaced once. as i am filing this complaint my vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting its third transmission. i have purchased three cars manufactured by the honda motor company and am appalled at the continuous problems, inconvenience and safety issues pertaining to my acura tl. in addition to the transmission problems we have experienced we have had problems with our radio code after servicing the transmission and the dealer wanted to charge us $140 to enter the code or reset it. also our on star remote diagnostics appear not to be working; on star is claiming we don't have them when we have utilized this service before. the service attendant and technician i spoke with at the dealer claims they aren't aware of any remote diagnostics being possible, despite the fact i have used this feature before to detect trouble. being able to use this feature would be great considering all the problems i have experienced. i was driving home from vacation the car began to jerk and it appeared to be shifting and slowing while we were on the interstate fwy. i was fearful that the transmission would go out and that i would have an accident, so i proceeded to pull over and waited for assistance to get my family home safe. my car has now been in the shop for over two weeks. yesterday i was told that due to a spilled drink in my car that they need $914 dollars to repair a faulty circuit board and replace the center council with the exception of the shift knob before they can get authorization for a third transmission. *nm |
