I called Acura customer service to explain that my transmission was acting up, and they refused to replace it or even acknowledge a problem. The same was true of my local dealership, david mcdavid Acura of austin. Only when I was driving down the highway and my car downshifted from 3rd to 2nd gear, causing me to quickly decelerate, and causing the person behind me to almost hit me, did they replace the transmission. This was even after one tech at king Acura of birmingham felt the transmission problem.

The transmission mis-shift several times from 3rd to 1st gear and was unable to shift from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd gear several times. The car was brought into the dealer first time on 8/19/2002 and the transmission was flushed 3 times. The problem was not corrected and I brought the car to the dealer second time on 8/28/2002. The dealer replaced the transmission. Even though, there is no accident in this incident. I am really concerning the safety issue caused by the transmission failure and I was not the only one having the transmission failure problem in this particular car model. I hope NHTSA can take appropriate action to investigate this problem before the fatal accident occurred because of transmission failure.
