Automatic Transmission problems of the 1999 Acura CL

I purchased an 99 Acura Cl in 2003 from the Acura dealer in charlotte, north carolina, before I had 100,000. 00 miles on this car. They have replaced the transmission 3 times. Now I am at 196,000. 00 and having transmission problems. The dealership stated that they would not repair my car because they did not keep up with the servicing of my car. It shouldn't matter where I get the service as long as I am getting the car service. It's going to cost me over 3000. 00 to get this car fix. This can not be so because no one should replace a transmission this many times.

My transmission has been determined by an Acura authorized dealer/service as damaged and requires replacement. It was determined to be unsafe for use on the road as the transmission erratically downshifts. The Acura service / dealer in bridgewater notified me that the transmission / vehicle was not covered on the recall transmission repair/replacement. I have to cover and pay the entire transmission replacement cost of $2,300. In researching the web, the 1999 Acura Cl 3. 0 transmission is the same as the transmissions recalled by Acura for years' 2000, 2001, 2002.

The contact owns a 1999 Acura 2. 3 Cl. The vehicle was turned on and the gear was shifted to reverse. While driving 5 mph in reverse, the transmission was heard shifting and the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward and crashed into a vehicle. The brake was applied, however; the vehicle would not stop until it crashed into a wall. The air bags deployed. The vehicle was towed. The insurance company determined the vehicle to be destroyed. The current and failure mileages were 76,000. The consume provided medical and insurance bills for the accident. Updated 09/19/07.

Started to notice a slight slipping of automatic transmission when going from low to high gears. Was infrequent but noticeable. Recently, transmission also began to emit a low and steady humming or droning sound. Alerted my mechanic and had transmission flushed/serviced. He informed me that fluid was very burnt and appeared to him that transmission will require a rebuild (mechanics is Honda/Acura certified). I recently set an appointment to have transmission rebuilt. However, I was urged by a friend to look into this further, as the low mileage on my vehicle does not necessarily warrant a transmission rebuild. I believe the automatic transmission system to be defective.

Early 2005, my vehicle had difficulty shifting from low gears to high. This event occurred for a few months recurring from time to time. Finally, my vehicle could no longer be driven safely due to the inability of the transmission shifting properly. I had to have the transmission replaced. Recently, it was brought to my attention that similar incidences have lead to a recall of Acuras under recall # pe0208. My concern is that the 1999 series may have been overlooked for that or a similar recall initiative.
