2002 Acura 3. 2cl with defective transmissions. Consumer states that her 1st transmission failed while driving 50 mph. Dealer informed her that they knew the transmissions were bad.

2002 Acura Cl 3. 2 type s transmission problem. I have about 24k miles and recently my transmission slipped. While going 30mph with the 3rd gear, if you accelerate so that the second gear kicks in, in kicks in very sharply, creating an unbearing jerk that is very obstrusive inside the cabin. Honda should place a recall on this model. Dealer was willing to replace it but I'm not sure if new transmission will be better than the old one.
The vehicle down shifted, which caused the transmission to slip.
Transmission - first sign came when I was driving down the highway and the gears would begin slipping, didn't notice until I heard the engine rpm's rev high. Each day for the next two days the symptoms began to worsen. By the second day, the transmission could'nt find any gears. Window regulator - just one day, I pressed the down window button and I heard pop, and the window just slid all the way into the door.
