This is the second transmission failure that has occurred. The first time it failed I was stick in the middle of a busy intersection at morning rush-hour. Now the dealership has had my car for almost 7 weeks and they want me to allow them to try another (#3) transmission. I do not feel that the car is safe or reliable. Many other consumers have had transmission failure situations similar to mine and Acura is offering money, entended warranties and other monetary compensation in lieu of legal action against them. The consumer should be forewarned and advised of the immenent problems occurring in this vehicle.

Acura 3.2 Cl & TL vehicles have a very high incidence of transmission failures. My vehicle sat at the dealer for seven (7) weeks waiting for a new transmission because so many transmission have failed and continued to fail that they are backordered for over a month. Acura will not divulge what is causing so many transmissions to fail. This is an extremely dangerous condition because the transmission will suddenly slip, causing complete loss of the ability to accelerate. Acura's only response to this problem is to replace the entire transmission with a rebuilt unit which also has a high incidence of failure.
