Engine Funny Noise Problems of Acura TL

Vehicle was parked in driveway; had not been driven for 2 hours. Heard a pounding, hammering noise from inside my house and when I entered the driveway the vehicle's engine was running, although it was a very rough idle. There was a smell of something burning coming from underneath the hood. I inserted the key into the ignition to turn off the engine but since the ignition was not in the on, or run, position, to begin with, the key had no effect on the engine (that is, I could neither turn the engine off nor on, using the key), and the vehicle continued to roughly run. I then called the fire department but the vehicle had stopped running when they arrived. However, the fan was running and they thought that was natural after the engine had shut off. I told them that this vehicle had never had the fan run after the ignition was turned off, that it did not have a remote starter (they asked), and that it had really started by itself. They said the smell was a result of an electrical fire in the engine and they disconnected the battery so that the problem did not recur. There were no visible flames and the vehicle has not yet been examined for damage as the incident occured just a few hours ago. I am the originial owner of the vehicle (6 years).

On Monday February 4, 2007 I was driving my 2003 Acura Tl type s and came to a stop and heard a weird noise coming from under the hood. Once traffic began to proceed the car simply would not move from first gear. I manage to pull over and let it sit for about 1-2 min. And it went into gear although sluggish. Once on the road again I proceeded about 3 miles when the car would not engage in any gear at all. I was right in front if the Honda store when the second failure happened. I had the diagnostic done and come to find out that I am in need of a new transmission and motor mount due to over heating (from the service tech). My car was towed to the local Acura dealership that notified me that I did infact need a new transmission and motor mount at a cost of approx. $3500. 00. This I now find is a huge problem for Acura with this model year and the automatic transmissions. I would like for Acura to correct the problem and if needed recall all the cars as it poses for a serious safety issue.
