The transmission in my 2000 acura tl is potentially affected. I would hate to have my transmission lock up the front wheels while traveling 70 MPH on the interstate.
Nar 1/29/2003. The consumer was concerned about irregular shifting behavior that other drivers have been experiencing. The consumer also owns the same type of vehicle.
While driving, the vehicle's transmission down shifted without warning causing the vehicle to come to a rapid stop. The dealer diagnosed a transmission problem and performed maintenance. The consumer is now experiencing severe "slippage" of transmission when accelerating. Mr the transmission was replaced. Scc
There are many other customers who had similar failures on this vehicle. Manufacturer should issue a recall! Dt
Traveling at 60 MPH when automatic transmission "slipped" out of gear and automobile decelerated rapidly to approximately 30 MPH causing vehicle's RPM to go over redline. Mr
Between 20 and 40 miles per hour the transmission started to slip at about 40,000 miles. I took it into the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem on call. They told me to replace the transmission fluid. This seemed to make the problem better for a while. Finally it got worse and worse. At 69,000 miles I took the car into a different dealer. They will replace the transmission with a re-manufactured one from acura.
On my 2000 acura 3.2tl is slipping at 2nd to 3rd gear. This occurs only at low speeds. The transmisson has no failures at any other speeds or gears.
We have been experiencing transmission problems since 15,000 miles and have taken the vehicle into the dealership a number of times to fix the problem, only to hear they could not duplicate the problem. The hesitation or slipping when stepping on the gas, has gotten so bad, we are afraid to jump out in traffic. On two occasions the transmission has locked up in second gear causing us to pull over, put it in park prior to proceeding. A fair amount of internet research has revealed the a large number of tl & cl owners have experienced transmission failures. This is not acceptable for a $32, 000 car.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Heard thumping noise in car. Took to dealer. Dealer said that the transmission needed to be replaced.
