Transmission shifts down very hard, once causing the car to lose traction and skid approximately 10 feet on the highway. The car luckily regained control and I avoided collision. I have seen many other reports of hard shifting in this car.

My transmission went out without any warning while in motion. I was driving down interstate 64 and the engine light turned on, and the vehicle went into limp-mode drastically dropping from 55mph to 25mph. There were many vehicles behind me. I worked to pull out of the way safely. The code on the car was p0741. Crown acura richmond advised me that the transmission needed to be replaced.I have had my vehicle serviced by the dealer since purchasing it brand new on august 1, 2006. I've now spoken with several people, including a mechanic who reviewed the car to give me a second opinion. He recommended not replacing the transmission because there is a history of the transmissions failing without warning. It appears that there is a known defect and acura should have recalled this model. Although I was not in an accident or hurt, there was a very high potential for that to happen if I hadn't navigated quickly.

Headed out in the afternoon, it was may 2016 weather was mild 70 degrees. I was sitting at a stop light after turning out of my neighborhood on a two lane road and put my foot on the accelerator and the car would not move. I had a line of cars behind me who couldn't go around until the other side was clear. No lights came on on the dashboard, the car just wouldn't go even though it was in drive. I turned the car off and restarted, it went a few feet and then stopped driving again. I pulled into a neighborhood and tried to see if the car would drive in reverse and it did. Obviously I could not drive back home in reverse. I waited about 10 minutes (I hadn't made it far from home), turned the car off, back on and drove back home. The car wouldn't go faster than 10 miles per hour and was struggling to go into gear. I had it towed to 3 different shops and all told me I needed a new transmission.
