Tl* - the contact received recall 04v176000 on a 2002 acura 3.2cl for the transmission, the dealer repaired something, but the transmission was still slipping. The dealer told him last week that they would give him a new transmission, and the parts would be in on 01/02/2007, but he had to pay for the labor to put the old transmission in. If there was a recall why did he have to pay for the labor. They fixed it before they should continue to fix it still under the recall. Ak

Transmission slipped from 5th to 3rd gear, also continuos slipping from 3rd to 4th gear. Immediatly took to acura dealer and they have only replaced and flushed transmission, problem still exists. They never mentioned possible company wide transmission failure. I had to read it in the la times auto section on 9-11-02.
My transmission failed in the middle of a four lane highway with my children in the car. It could have LED to a catastrophe. I have since learned of many more failures of this transmission from other customers at the dealership, cryptic remarks from service reps, and from rental car companies in the area. I would like to remain confidential.
