My problem is with the transmission. I have a 2004 Rsx-s. It has a six speed transmission. When shifting from first to second, gear grinds, and sometimes locks out. When shifting from second to third, gear grinds and sometimes pops out. Dealership gives me the run-a-round said they couldn't fix since my car is past warranty. Why was I not contacted by american Honda about this failure on an obviously important safety malfunction? I almost got into an accident caused by not being able to get the car into gear. Dealer said I had to fork over the $$$ for the repair myself which is unheard of. I bought this car for it impeccable record, now to find out I and countless of hundreds maybe thousands, have purchased a lemon when american Honda knew they had a problem with the transmission. American Honda, we, the unfortunate 2004 Acura Rsx type s owners are not !!pleased the way you take advantage of your loyal customers.
I have a 2004 Rsx-s a-spec . It has a six speed transmission. When shifting from first to second, gear sometimes grinds, when shifting from second gear to third, gear grinds and sometimes pops out. Dealership gave me the run-a-round saying they "could not duplicate problem". I hear of other people having the same problem.
My problem is with the transmission. I have a 2004 Rsx-s. It has a six speed transmission. When shifting from first to second, gear grinds, and sometimes locks out. When shifting from second to third, gear grinds and sometimes pops out. Eventually locking out. Dealership gives me the run-a-round. Hundreds of people have the same problem, we all can't be wrong. Accident could be caused by not being able to get the car into gear and getting rear ended. I have another appt. With the dealer on Monday. Sick of getting the run-a-round and would like an inquiry as to the extent of this problem. It has happened to a lot more people than me.
Transmission keeps breaking. Two failures so far. 2nd gear crunch turning into grind and eventual lockout, 3rd gear popping out, 4th occasionally popping out. Acura keeps rebuilding transmission internals, replacing syncros, but transmission break again in a few months of driving.
Third gear would constantly engage 1/2 way, then pop out. Sometimes it would just grind into place. On a quick trip to a store, when I shifted from 1 to 2, 1st gear shattered into a million peices. Dealer blamed it on an aftermarket exhaust manifold, not on the obvious: a faulty transmission/.
