general problems of the 2001 Acura CL

I have a safety concern. When my vehicle was assembled, someone decided to have the workers not remove the protective film from the plastic screen on the navigation system that would typically be released. I assume this saved money and time during production. However, that film has deteriorated and crinkled over time, making it difficult to see the screen, especially at night. This does not seem acceptable, and I have been told that the remedy is costly, which upset me as removing the film should have been part of the assembly procedure.

Transmission lockup at highway speeds. Vehicle would drop speed from 70 mps to 10 mps without warning in a matter of seconds almost causing loss of control & crash with cars following on highway. As described in Acura service bulletin 04-020. Car was fitted with repair part but did not prevent it from occurring again over time & miles from driving.

Parked car. Moved transmission lever to what I thought was park (push straight up). Started to swing out of car putting weight on outside foot. The transmission was actually in neutral and the key was removed - it can be removed in any gear position just like the 2001 Honda accord recall says. The Acura of the same year never had the recall even though it is using the same defective part numbers. Car started to roll backwards and I was forced to stop car using foot and hand pressure resulting in slight sprain to wrist requiring no additional care. This is a troubling safety issue that was actually recalled for Honda brand vehicles only ignoring Acura brand defects.
