I was exactly halfway through a 350 mile road trip, driving uphill along a busy interstate in the left lane when, without warning, my 2001 Acura 3. 2 Tl began losing speed despite continued throttle acceleration. The engine rpm's were climbing as if the transmission were in neutral. Luckily, I was able to roll to right shoulder and come to a safe stop. My transmission shut down completely. The reverse and all drive gears behaved as neutral. I was left with only park and neutral. I opened the hood and smelled something burning. When I checked the transmission fluid it was black and smoking. Just 3 hours earlier when I checked all my fluids before leaving, I noticed the transmission fluid was the normal shiny red. I was given no warning signs, no symptoms of shifting problems, and no console indication that my transmission was running hotter than normal. I understand that there was a recall on my year make and model, and that my transmission was included in that recall. Why didn't Acura fix this problem? my vehicle has only 103,000 mi; this shouldn't have happened.
My complaint is toward Acura relations and devan Acura of norwalk, CT regarding a serious transmission problem. My transmission has been diagnosed with having a hard shift/slippage from 2nd to 3rd gear, which is part of recall, I. D. 48580. This type of problem can result in transmission lockup, which could result in a crash. A case manager from Acura relations explained over the phone that if problem is recall related, the cost of repairs would be covered. Unfortunately, even though devan Acura of norwalk has determined that a hard shift/slippage from 2nd to 3rd gear exists, they never asked me what I felt comfortable doing, which my answer would be to replace the transmission, as it pertains to the recall, especially as promised by Acura relations. Devan Acura of norwalk performed a transmission fluid flush to try and resolve the problem, which did not improve the drivability of the vehicle, as a hard shift/slippage still exists. Please note that I paid for this vehicle brand new, in full, from devan Acura of norwalk and do not appreciate feeling as though Acura relations and devan Acura of norwalk has shown a lack of concern towards mine and my family's safety, as they chose not to further assist in this matter and I fear for my family's safety driving this vehicle and would like it repaired as promised by Acura relations (case number will be provided upon request).
While driving my 2001, the tranny was not shifting. Scared my wife silly. Had less than 50000 miles and had taken the car to Acura for this issue. They installed some kind of cooler device related to tranny issue. $3000 later for a tranny repair at a reputable independent garage and Acura refused to foot the bill. No more Acuras for me and my family. Hit them where it hurts- in the pocket book!.
