TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DISENGAGES AT ABOUT 2500 TO 3000 RPMS AND THE ENGINE SHOOTS UP TO REDLINE. ACURA IS WELL AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS, AND NEEDS TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION ON FIXING ALL OF THEM OUT THERE. THIS POSES AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN.*AK

TRANSMISSION STARTED "JERKING" FORWARD AS MY VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING AND CONTINUED TO "HOLD" GEARS WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE DOWNSHIFTED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REPEATED YET. I AM, HOWEVER, AWARE OF AN INHERRENT WEAKNESS WITH THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE ACURA 3.2 CL/TL

THIS FAILURE IS APPARENTLY WIDESPREAD IN THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS OF HONDA. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. PLEASE EVALUATE FOR RECALL. *AK

THE TRANSMISSIONS AND BRAKE ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESS, I FEEL THAT I PURCHASE A LEMON CAR. *AK

SIDE MIRRORS HAVE A BLIND SPOT ON THE LEFT. MIRRORS ARE POSITIONED ON THE POST SIDE OF DOOR. CONSUMER CAN'T SEE LEFT LANE IF TURNING NOR ANTHING THAT IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT PROBLEM.*AK

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.*AK

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.

CONSUMER SITS IN DRIVER'S SEAT TO IT'S REAR MOST POSITION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER MIRROR CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED TO BE ANGLED OUTWARD ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE DANGEROUS BLIND SPOTS FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE CLOSE IN THE ADJACENT LEFT LANE, CONSUMER HAS COME CLOSE TO COLLISIONS DUE TO THIS BLIND SPOT AND HAS MOUNTED ANOTHER MIRROR TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VIEW. *SLC
