Purchased 2001 Acura Cl-3. 2 on 12/02 as second owner from Acura dealership with 46,570 on the odometer. Noticed slight transmission slippage 02/03. Had vehicle serviced and transmission replaced under warranty with. Received letter dated summer 2004 of transmission recall. Took vehicle to dealer on accordance to recall letter. Dealer installed oil jet kit. On 05/23/09 (136,000 on the odometer), traveling approx. 70 mph on interstate, d5 started flashing. Minutes later, the vehicle downshifted and the tcs indicated came on. The vehicle repeated this downshifting again while attempting to move from the center lane to the far right lane causing the wheels to lock experiencing violent jerking motions. The rear vehicle approaching had to maneuver to the center lane to avoid rear end collision. Proceeded to roadside and parked the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to home address and parked. Called and informed dealer of transmission issue which had symptoms of prior recall. Also contacted Acura corporate headquarters and was referred to the dealership for servicing due to the prior recall. Dealer serviced vehicle on 05/28/09 (inv# 291814) and determined by diagnostic, the solenoids malfunctioned. Solenoids were replaced by dealer at owner expense and test driven by service center technicians resulting in no resolution and prompting another diagnostic error code. It was determined by the technicians that the transmission was experiencing unknown symptoms and recommended the transmission be replaced for a second time. Due to vehicle being out of warranty and extended warranty, dealer will not offer good faith gesture or goodwill dealer replacement. Vehicle was serviced at recommended manufactures intervals. Service history was provided to dealer by owner.

I took my car to the dealer at 16,000 miles, because the transmission was slipping and jerking. They said they couldn't duplicate the problem. The transmission totally failed and was replaced at 25,000 miles. The replacement transmission started acting the same way. It failed at 44,000 miles. Acura Claimed that the solenoids needed to be replaced this time. . . Not the whole transmission. 1,300 miles after having the solenoids replaced the transmission has begun slipping and jerking again. Acura won't do anything until the transmission fails again. This is rediculous. Acura (and Honda) must be forced to do something about these transmissions. Both of my failures have happened in traffic, and the first time my car had to be towed to the dealer on a flatbed. Please help! dt.
