Mr. Robert gibbons of acura of USA provided the parts, but I had to pay $680 for the labor and $318.84 for a car rental with a total of $998.84. Which he declined to reimburse me for, stating that the parts were offered as a goodwill gesture, and thus he made me a partner in a failing acura. However, the united states federal law regards this goodwill gesture as a hidden warranty and obligates the manufacturer to take responsibility of the full amount. Dt
8/14/00 - transmission failure - acura replaced transmission at acura pasadena (good will gesture from acura provided re-built transmission), and I payed for the labor - over $1,000.00. On 10/21/02 another transmission failure this time at 68 MPH, on the freeway in rush hour traffic, 210 fwy, east bound between lowell ave & la tuna canyon road. Car was towed to acura pasadena, where on 10/22 I was informed by the service department that the transmission had failed and that the cost would be $4,600.00 out of my pocket. A warranty issued on the rebuilt transmission was for 36 months/36,000 miles. Transmission failed at 38,387 miles.
During a cold start, the automatic transmission fails to shift gears properly untill the engine is warm. Everyday since I have had the car, this has happened. The car is not under warrenty so replacing the transmission would cost me a few thousand dollars, which I am not prepared to spend.
Malfunction indicator light came on. Dealer informed me that the primary control module for the transmission had failed. I will have to pay for the tests to isolate problem an for labor to repair. Acura will replace the PCM as 'goodwill' but as maintanance was done per acura recommendations this problem should have been caught.
When vehicle is placed in reverse on the selected gear shift position vehicle continues to move forward. Also, there is a delay in responds when shifting. Consumer has contacted dealer. Dealer stated transmission needed replacing. Please provide any further details.
