Transmission Gear Slipping problems of the 2000 Acura TL

There was a recall on transmissions for my 2000 Acura Tl. In 2005 I had 86,000 miles on it and Honda replaced my transmission with a brand new one due to recall. Five years later I have 178,000 miles (92,000 on transmission) and I am in need of another transmission. My transmission is showing the exact same problems as it did five year earlier. Second gear slipping and discoloration. This time Honda/Acura will not replace or even help pay for a replacement which was also faulty. I also spoke to another person who had to put three transmissions in her 2000 Honda accord. It is unacceptable for a company to replace a defect with another defected piece and not stand behind the replacement that was supposed to be fixed.

I purchased a 2000 Acura 3. 2 Tl in April 2005. A few months ago, I began noticing my car jerking when I would back up. It was also stalling as I began to accelerate. I decided to do research on the car and I found that the transmissions were faulty. I immediately called the Acura company and I was instructed to take my car to a local Acura dealership and get a diagnostic check. After the diagnostic check was completed, it was called to my attention that the transmission was slipping. Acura offered to pay 25% of the cost which would have left a balance of $3000 for me to pay. I declined because I felt like they should pay the entire cost being that it was an error on their part. It was explained to me that my extended warranty had ended on the car that stemmed from a class action suit. I told them I was unaware of the suit and they replied that I should have been notified as the owner. I then called the dealership where I purchased the car. The dealership was unaware of the recall and stated they were never contacted about the recall. I called back and was given the "run around". I contacted consumer affairs. I received a letter from consumer affairs. After consumer affairs contacted Acura, I received a letter from consumer affairs stating that my car was not serviced because there was another problem other than the transmission. However, this information is false- I have the diagnostic report stating that my transmission was slipping.

Between 20 and 40 miles per hour the transmission started to slip at about 40,000 miles. I took it into the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem on call. They told me to replace the transmission fluid. This seemed to make the problem better for a while. Finally it got worse and worse. At 69,000 miles I took the car into a different dealer. They will replace the transmission with a re-manufactured one from Acura.
