Since the consumer lives outside the usa, Acura usa refused to provide a new transmission. The consumer's vehicle experienced transmission problems. American Honda admitted that the automatic transmission of it's Cl and TL series may have problems, therefore they extended the warranty to 7 years or 100000 mile, whichever occurred first. Now that the vehicle is outside the usa the manufacturer refused to provide any assistance.

Bought car in 11/2002, thought I had bought a reliable car and all I have had is trouble, first the car had a ticking noise in motor and had problem with brakes brought it in 2wks after bought car. Brought it to dealership and they adjusted the valves, that was 1/2003, also we had noticed problems with tranny at that time also. Brought car in 4/2003, then brought car in 8/2003 because tranny was still downshifting or not shifting at all besides the ticking of the motor. We brought car in several more times and each time we complained about tranny and ticking of motor they say they can't deplicate the problem or fix the motor. Finally in Sept 2003 they fixed the valves, but not tranny. Can't find problem. I know that when U go up and incline the car will be going only 25 mph and car shakes violently, when I drive car on highway she shakes between 2nd and 3rd gear, also in 4th and 5th gear, the car has even stalled on me so now what" we've asked dealership so many times to fix problems but they have there mechanic drive it and he says there is no problem with tranny or engine and computers in car are fine. One day my wife and I could be seriously hurt, besides other people who will be near us. We even called up headquarters in California, they assigned us a project manager, he said he hasn't heard about the problems we are having, but we called another dealership a bit further from us and they know about the problems with the tranny and valves besides the brakes too. So who is lying to whom??" all I want is my car fixed. I know they aren't honest with paperwork, they use previous paperwork or never give us the paperwork, we have brought this car into the shop over 8 times since 11/2002, its a 2001, my Chevy is better then this and its now 11yrs old, go figure! someone is going to get killed, I know there was a recall that I just found out about in 2002, I was never notified!!!!

I have had surgery fusing 7 vertebrae in my neck and back. This was a result of a sudden and severe down shift of my Acura Cl 3.2 while driving on the highway.

- San Diego, CA, USA

Transmission failure. Gears began to "slip", particularly between 2nd and 3rd, seemingly during upshifts and downshifts. The transmission felt as if it was searching for the right gear, and as it was engaging it, would slip. The engine would then rev freely. After completely letting it rev down to idle, gear would reengage some of the time. Other times had to stop and restart the car to get moving again.

My transmission failed on my Acura Cl for the second time. I had it "replaced" after the first failure @49K miles that nearly cause an accident if it hadn't been for good driving skills. Now the same problem almost caused me to loose complete control @ 91000 miles after the dealer "enhanced the fix" with a new PCM @ 88000 miles.

Acura Cl type S five speed automatic transmission failed at 25,560 miles while driving on the freeway. No previous indications that there was a problem with the transmission.

- San Diego, CA, USA

Upon normal acceleration to enter the highway at about 50 miles per hour the automatic transmission locked up. The effect was a serious skid and inside the car it felt like I had hit a brick wall. If I had not been wearing my seat belt I would have been launched through the windshield. The car at this point was 1 year old with about 14,000 miles. The transmission was replaced. The new transmission slipped and shifted inappropriately and was also replaced on Nov. 6, 2003. This trasmission is not much better. There has been three transmissions in the car and I am fed up. This is my third new Acura since 1997 and I had no problems with the other two.

2001 Acura Cl type S transmission failure at 32000 miles.

- Little Falls, NJ, USA

The transmission has been replaced once already and is about to be replaced again. After the first tranny was replaced the quality and performance level of my car dropped greatly. The 2001 Acura Cl type S I am driving now is not the car that I bought, nor want to drive. It is now sluggish, the transmission is stil acting up, it is louder, does not hold itself in a gear for more sporty drive. If I wanted a Honda Accord, I would have bought one. Now my car drives just like one.
