One problem related to automatic transmission has been reported for the 1998 Acura CL. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 1998 Acura Cl 2. 3 the transmission has gone out for the third time. Some of the things I find dangerous are the fact that the car when sitting at a stop and then proceding to accelerate revved to high rpms and then bogs down and barely moves. I was sitting at a red light going to make a right turn and when I accelerated the car rolled forward at a very slow pace like it was in a really high gear even after depressing the accelerator half way down. All of a sudden the trans mission violently changes gears and propells me from the lane I am turning in to the next lane over. I have also has occasions where the transmission will rapidly change back and forth through the high and low gears while driving for aparent reason. I am afraid that if this keeps up I will end up in an accident. The car is a 1998 I have never owned a car that had so many transmission problems in my whole life. 3 transmissions since 1998 is rediculace. There is something very wrong with the transmissions in these cars and the cost to have them fixed is outrageious. I should not have to repeatedly pay to have an obvious engering or manufacture defect fixed.
