1999 Acura CL Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ACURA 2.3CL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V423000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

MY CAR STARTED DOWN SHIFTING AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES AND AGAIN NOT ACCELERATING WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THE TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKING WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS AND IS NOT ENGAGING WHEN ACCELERATING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ACURA CL. WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION, THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND HEARD A WEIRD CLICKING NOISE. HOWEVER, THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND, BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS LATER, AT 44,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SWITCH INTO GEAR ONCE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND, ONCE AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HELD THEMSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH WORKED FINE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS. HOWEVER, AT 89,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WROTE A LETTER TO THE STATE ATTORNEY AND THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE AND REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION WORKED FINE FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS, BUT HAS CURRENTLY FAILED AGAIN. SHE CALLED THE DEALE...

I PURCHASED AN 99 ACURA CL IN 2003 FROM THE ACURA DEALER IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, BEFORE I HAD 100,000.00 MILES ON THIS CAR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES. NOW I AM AT 196,000.00 AND HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KEEP UP WITH THE SERVICING OF MY CAR. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHERE I GET THE SERVICE AS LONG AS I AM GETTING THE CAR SERVICE. IT'S GOING TO COST ME OVER 3000.00 TO GET THIS CAR FIX. THIS CAN NOT BE SO BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THIS MANY TIMES. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, ALTHOUGH IT SAYS TO CLICK THE GAS CAP THREE TIMES OR IT WILL COME ON. AFTER GETTING RESET IT REMAINS TO POP BACK ON AGAIN AND IT IS ALSO DRINKING GAS ALOT. *TR
