Acura-cl type s transmission problems at 30000 miles. Transmission started slipping and engaged at random points. Accelerated to 60 miles per hour, at which the transmission down shifted abruptly without warning causing the tires to chirp. Warning lights came on after down shift in the form of a blinking d5 light, check transmission light, vsa light on with exclamation point. Would not shift out of gear until car was turned off and restarted.

Failure of automatic transmission in 2001 Acura Cl type s. I understand the sudden downshifting has been determined to not be a safety hazard, but in this case the transmission would not engage any gear while shifting between second and third. The resulting sudden loss of drive power almost caused the car behind me to hit me. The 2-3 shift is almost always under heavy acceleration away from a dead stop, to deem this not a safety hazard is absurd. If I were not able to pull to the shoulder of the road I would have been hit. Acura dealers have denied knowledge of this issue until the transmission actually fails. I tolerated 20,000 miles of erratic shifting before mine died completely. I now have 4,000 on the new transmission and it has been exhibiting the same behavior the original did, always between the 2-3 shift.

Transmission will slip and fail to shift into gear. Dealership is aware of problem.

During a cold start, the automatic transmission fails to shift gears properly untill the engine is warm. Everyday since I have had the car, this has happened. The car is not under warrenty so replacing the transmission would cost me a few thousand dollars, which I am not prepared to spend.
