| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The automatic transmission in my car, a 2003 acura tl, started "jerking" and acting very strange. i almost got in an accident on the highway when it suddenly jerked into another gear. i have owned the car 1 1/2 months and was told that my vin # was not one of the group of vin 3's whose transmissions were recalled and had extended warranties placed on them. i called acura who "brushed" me "off," and i will have to spend $3000-$4000 to replace the transmission and then i will trade it in for another car because i feel my life is at risk in this car; however, i don't want anyone else to buy it, because i think there life will be at risk. i have read a ton of complaints on the '01-'03 acura tl's transmission problems and there were recalls and extended warranties; and here mine is dangerously breaking apart, and acura is telling me "too bad" because i bought it used so it's probably the fault of the person who owned it before me. i have never felt this problem in any other car i've ever owned, and it was so bad, i had it towed to the dealership. it is a very dangerous problem, and acura should pay for the replacement of the transmission on my car. *tr |
