general problems of the 2005 Acura TL

While I was driving 55 mph, on the throttle, the transmission acted as it was in neutral but all indicators verified it was in drive. The rpms were fluctuating during this & my car wouldn't accelerate. I was in the middle of a busy highway, the car came to a stop, I shifted it into park, then tried to engage back into drive with no success. In the middle of oncoming & ongoing hwy traffic, I turned the car off, back on & the car acted as if it was in limp mode. The vsa light & triangle appeared. I had to pay get a towing service to get me & my car. It never had any transmission issues before & all of a sudden it did all of the above, erratic shifting, flare up shifts, won't move. It was then put on a diagnostic scanner which showed a code for torque converter clutch solenoid but was cleared & didn't reappear. After the car has been sitting for a while (days) you can crank it, put it into drive & it is hesitant to go & will drive only for a few minutes. After the transmission heats up, it stops pulling. I have read numerous complaints, safety concerns, bulletins, etc. I am devastated & lost on what's going on with the car & what can be done. I purchased my '05 Tl in 2022 & haven't been able to drive it but for one & a half years. I've put so much money into the repairs & maintenance. I replaced the rear & front motor mounts, transmission speed sensor, transmission position sensor, etc. I am now disabled & don't have the means to put into it anymore. I pray there's an investigation behind these drive train safety concerns!.

I purchased this vehicle from the oringinal owner 11-17. He didnt inform me of any problems with the vehicle. Three days after purchase I had a dead battery. Then I noticed the speedometer and tach would stop working when I was driving, also the vsa warning light would come on when I was driving. I searched on line and found that there was many complaints about my same problems, and that the dealer was no help at all. I tried disconnecting the hands free link, but I still had a dead battery the next day. The only solution I have found is to disconnect my battery every day when I come home. I replaced the battery in Jan. 2018. There are also receipts in the vehicle from the origanal owner for the same problems.

> on Thursday 07/04/13 my transmission gave in. I was on the freeway when the car lost power and the transmission would not connect. There was no car behind me otherwise there would have been a major crash. There was no signal or check engine light that came up. The car has 80 k miles on it. This car has been maintained by the local Honda dealer for every thing including oil changes etc. The car per the dealer was deamed un drivable and unsafe to drive. > this car was manufactured in 2005. Purchase date 11/14/05. I understand that there was a recall in 2003 and 2004 for similar issue. The car is currently at the Honda dealership in fremont. Autonation Honda. For me the issue is about me and my family saftey. In the car was my 5 year old son. >.
