2002 Acura CL Complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAR HAS ONLY 45K ON IT. MINOR TRANS REPAIR BY PRIOR OWNER UNDER WARRANTY. CLASS ACTION APPLIED BUT PAST TIME LIMIT. ACURA OFFERED 50% OF REPAIR COST NOT 100%. I BELIEVE TIME LIMIT INAPPROPRIATE. TIME DOES NOT DAMAGE TRANS. *TR

MY BUSINESS PURCHASED TWO BRAND NEW 2002 ACURA VEHICLES, A CL AND A TL IN SEPT. OF 2001. THE TRANSMISSION ON OUR TL WAS REPLACED 4 TIMES FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE ALL OF THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE MAKE/MODELS ARE BAD AND WHEN THEY GO OUT ACURA PROMISED TO REPLACE THEM AS LONG AS WE WERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER. WE TRADED IN THE TL YEARS AGO, BUT I KEPT THE CL. WHEN MY FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE CL IT WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. NOW THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AND ACURA IS SAYING THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR 1/2 THE PRICE OF THE REPLACEMENT. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY GAVE ME A TRANS THAT THEY KNEW WAS GOING TO GO OUT AND NOW THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THEIR BAD PRODUCT?? MY HUSBAND WAS A MASTER MECHANIC FOR ACURA FOR 10 YEARS AND KNOWS THAT ACURA REBUILDS THESE BAD TRANS AND REPLACES THEM W/ OTHER REBUILT BAD TRANS. THEY KNOWINGLY GAVE ME A BAD PRODUCT AND NOW EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR IT?? I WAS TOLD THAT AS LONG AS I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THESE...

2002 ACURA 3.2CL WITH DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. CONSUMER STATES THAT HER 1ST TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH. DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THEY KNEW THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD. *KB THE FIRST TIME THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. NOW, IT IS 2 YEARS LATER AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE. *JB

ACURA IS KNOWINGLY PUTTING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS. WHEN MY FIRST TRANS WENT OUT, I WAS DOING 50 MPH ON LAKE SHORE DR. AND IF I WEREN'T WEARING MY SEATBELT, I WOULD'VE GONE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY KNEW ALL THESE TRANS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THE 1ST ONE @ 103,000 MILES AND SAID THEY WOULD "GOOD WILL" THESE TRANS AS LONG AS IM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MY HUSBAND WAS A MASTER TECH. MECHANIC AT ACURA FOR 10 YRS. AND SAID THEY NEVER CAME OUT WITH A GOOD TRANS. FOR THESE CARS. THEY JUST KEEP REBUILDING THEM AND REPLACING THEM WHEN THEY GO OUT! NOW MY REPLACEMENT TRANS IS GOING OUT @ 30,000 LESS MILES THAN THE 1ST AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT! PAY FOR ANOTHER BAD TRANSMISSION? THEY WROTE ON MY CAR WORK ORDER "TEST DROVE VEHICLE FOUND TRANS SLIPPING - CUSTOMER ADVISED OF TRANS OPERATION, NOT RECOMMENDED TO DRIVE VEHICLE!" THEY PUT ME BACK ON THE STREET WITH THEIR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION. IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT THEY ARE PUTTING 'ACCIDENTS WAIT...

2002 ACURA CL HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED OUT 4 TIMES; THE CAR IS ENDING IT'S WARRANTY, AND AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP. *TR
