I purchased an Acura 2001 Cl type s 2 years ago and was not aware that the car had recall problems involving the transmission. On 02/19/08 my transmission started acting up. It makes a loud noise and will not go in reverse. I took the car to the Honda dealer in serramonte, CA. They refuse to fix the car stating it was repaired years ago. They said it will cost me $4,000. 00 to repair the car. I am still making payments on this car and cannot afford to repair it myself. I feel they should repair it because it had a recall issue. It is very unsafe for my 6 year old son and myself. . . Suppose the transmission completely fails. . We could be injured and even loose our lives. I do not know what to do now.
