| My vehicle was purchased in 2002 and since then i have had four incidences where while driving the car at 55 - 60 mph the car lost power, there was a grinding noise and the car came to a halt in the middle of the highway. this happened in december of 2003 (50,819 miles), november of 2005 (91,460 miles), november of 2007 (129,435 miles) and most recently july 17th with (201,000 miles). as i drove on the lie driving westbound around exit 40 my car lost power and began to slow making a loud grinding noise. in the previous three cases the car needed a new transmission. i pulled the car over and after towing it to a station i was told i needed a fourth transmission. i have contacted acura and they told me they could not help. the car has the original engine and i have a notice from acura stating early on that the transmissions on the acura 2002 tls were defective. i contacted the attorney general's office to appeal to this agency and apply the lemon law but the law only applies to new cars. they gave me this site to state my case. as i mentioned to acura for a luxury automobile to still have a great working engine and have gone through four transmissions, i believe their is a safety issue with these transmissions. not to mention the fact that the transmission gives no warning when it breaks down and one is left with no power at high speeds on the highway. ## vin passed ## acura tl 2002 s-type ##. *tr | |||

| I was in heavy stop and go traffic in dallas, texas, when my car car started jolting foward during initial acceleration. i took it in to the honda dealer in my hometown since there is not an acura dealership there. they told me it was transmission slippage after they took it for a test drive. they performed a transmission service, and i was informed they found burned fluid. i have since investigated this transmission problem online and have found that there are still hundreds of thousands of acuras and hondas with transmission problems like this and worse that are still on our highways.acura knew the transmissions in these 1999-2003 cars were flawed from the time they left the factory, and acura has paid for some repairs outside of the extended warranty. i have been told by the honda mechanic that the problem will only get worse. acura usa doesn't want to discuss the problem with customers outside the extended warranty anymore, however i can assure you this is a safety issue especially in city traffic. these cars are a real safety problem. | |||

| My transmission has failed twice. when it failed the first time in january of 2003, i was exiting the interstate with my child in the car. i was able to make it off the road safely, but it made me realize how dangerous it would have been if it happened a minute earlier on the interstate in high speed traffic. it failed the second time june 20, 2003, and the dealer tells me acura does not have any new transmissions available. they want to give me a remanufactured transmission. i don't think it is safe to give a customer a previously failed transmission. | |||

| I was on highway 280 doing about 65 in my morning commute from san francisco to cupertino. without warning, my transmission shifted from fourth to second, sending my car into a sideways skid as if i had hit the brakes...hard. fortunately, the car beside me on the right was able to avoid hitting me as was the car behind me. left with second gear, i limped back to the dealer and received my car, with a new transmission, three weeks later. i am lucky to have not been injured and do not trust this car any longer. it was bought for insuring the safety of my family and i am worried about a repeat failure. thanks, ben. ph *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768534 | |||
