Transmission Stuck In Gear problems of the 2003 Acura TL

I was on my way to work driving my Acura 3. 2 Tl on the same route I always take to work and my vehicle seemed to functioning properly. I made my way to the freeway on ramp and was stopped at the light used to stagger traffic on the ramp to the freeway. When the light went green I stepped on the gas and the car was very sluggish, almost the feeling that it was going to stall. I got up to about 35 mph when I was needing to merge onto the freeway and the transmission went out completely. It was stuck in 5th gear and flashing on the display. There way no way for me to merge onto the freeway safely at 35 mph during rush hour when a solid block of cars are traveling 65 mph +. This caused a huge disruption to traffic and several vehicles panicked and cut me forcing me off the road. I was very lucky to have not been in a serious collision and almost caused several other collisions due to the faulty transmission. I have never felt safe traveling in my vehicle again and especially not comfortable with traveling on the freeway which is a very costly inconvenience. Compensation is necessary.

I have a 2003 Acura 3. 2 Tl type s with 71k miles. One day I was driving and I noticed excessive jerking and slipping. Usually between 2 and 3 gear. When I try to reverse, it would take a while to get into gear and then it would jerk hard. It seems like sometimes when I would try to accelerate it would get stuck in neutral and the engine just revs up to 5000 or 6000 rpms. This happened to me when I was trying to change lanes to make an exit. I feel unsafe driving this car on the highway, because I fear one day im going to get rear ended. My d5, vsa, and check engine lights came on so I took it to and autozone to run a diagnostic. The computer gave the code p0740. I took it to an Acura dealership and while driving there my car gets stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear. Im on the highway going 45 mph and revving my engine up to 5000 or 6000 rpm. When I got there the dealership wanted to charge me $3700 to replace the transmission. Supposedly my VIN number wasn't covered in their extended warranty, even though my car has the exact same problems as other Tls that were covered under the warranty.

The contact owns a 2003 Acura Tl. While driving at any speed, the gear shift becomes stuck. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer. The cost to repair the vehicle is $2,500. Nhtsa campaign id number 04v176000 (power train: automatic transmission) was referenced. The failure mileage was 70,000.

I own a 2003 Acura Tl type-s. On several occasions, while merging into highway traffic, I've experienced moments when the transmission wouldn't respond to acceleration (I. E. Wouldn't down shift). The car just seem to coast slowly into traffic, causing me to almost get into vehicle accidents. The first transmission I had was replaced due to burnt transmission fluid, I'm just upset that I was allowed to drive a vehicle that had a defective transmission. I had mentioned on several occassions to the dealer where I originally leased the vehicle (Acura of troy), about times when the car just seemed to get stuck in second gear. I was told by dealer that nothing was wrong. However, I feel I no longer can depend on the dealer to give me accurate information. This is a very critical problem and dangerous. I'm afraid for my loved ones and myself when driving this vehicle. I took car into another dealer (suburban Acura) where they replaced my first transmission under warranty because it was defective, now I'm having even more problems with the second one. I'm starting to get a burning odor from the vehicle now. I've taken the vehicle back in for service but was told nothing was wrong with it. How can someone check a transmission in about 30 minutes or less? I want out of this vehicle for safety reasons. This is not what I paid for, and now I'm driving a vehicle that has reduced performance and a burning odor. Again, I'm afraid for my well-being and those of my family.
