Automatic transmission was leaking fluid. Dealer replaced it with a rebuilt transmission , consumer asked why transmission was replaced with a rebuilt and not brand new transmission.
Transmission slips and revs at approx 55-65 mph, so strongly car loses direction while driving and passenger feels 'jolt', dealership has replaced transmission twice, also replaced egr valve, problem continues to occur. Axle not properly replaced; transmission fluid leaking out which caused car to smoke. Met with regional service rep who was condescending and patronizing, and offered 'accessories'. Transmission #1 was 'refurbished' and guaranteed by Acura by 150,000 miles-->was replaced by #2 which was 'new'. . . Still having the same problem-extremely unsafe!! I just want a car that is safe and works!!.
