Gear/transmission lock up while driving. Vehicle stalled and could not switch gear back to drive. Vehicle failed emissions twice but was passed 3rd time without exemption or waiver. This vehicle has been discontinued due to the on going unfixable issues, why wasn't it blacklisted or label a category a car? these Acura's are dangerous and shouldn't even be allowed on the road! NHTSA doesn't even specify if the vehicle was fixed after the recalls- obviously they weren't because the car was poorly made and is unfixable. We need justice.
My cars transmission is starting to act up by not shifting gears properly. When driving the car's tranny will suddenly lock up when the car wants to shift. For example im accelerating the car will stay at 20 mph the rpm will rise but the car wont speed up because it has locked. I searched for a recall on my car and there was a recall back in 2004 on the tranny. I gave Acura a call but they said they were unable to help me. I did a carfax report and no transmission change was ever done or reported by the manufacturer. I own a 2000 Acura 3. 2 Tl. This brings me to a great concern to me and my family sometimes on the freeway it will lock and sometimes it will speed up . Please help let me know what I need to do. I went to a mechanic who I personally know very well and is a family friend and he told me it is indeed the transmission.
Started having trans problems after extended warranty ran out. Not going into gear, harsh or no shifting, engine revs high while in gear & driving, d5 flashing. Service engine light on. Honda canada would not cover anything. Although dealer provided free diagnosis, estimated trans replacement was going to be $4000. 00. Approx mileage 125,000 mi. Traded for new domestic (taurus). This well known problem should have been a recall rather than extending warranty.
