Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is my third transmission on my 2002 acura 3.2 tl-s. everytime, i had a problem with my transmission, acura always give me hard time to admit the problem. and now, my transmission starts giving me the same issue as before again. when slowing down the car, from 65 mph to 45 mph or 45 mph to 25 mph, the gear will not engage properly. the car will be in neutral state and wait until the car realize what gear it should be before it put into gear. scarsdale acura, valley stream acura, smithtown acura, and paragon acura do not admit the problem and inform me that there is nothing wrong with the transmission, since the check engine light is not lighted and the d5 light is not blinking. westchester acura admits the problem and they changed my transmission twice, but their service is horrible, so i do not want to bring my car back to them for my current problem. i have tried calling acura, and i was told that there is nothing they can do, since they cannot see the actually and they cannot control what the dealer can do. i am at the point that i could get help and do not know what to do; in the mean time, i am at risk of my life by driving the cat with the defective transmission. *jb
