I BOUGHT A USED CAR FROM CHICAGO SUBURB INDIVIDUAL OWNER ABOUT 15 DAYS AGO. CLEAN TITLE WITH NO ACCIDENT HISTORY. THE GAS TANK DURING LAST 15 DAYS WAS NEVER LITTLE ABOVE HALF TANK. TODAY I FILLED GAS FULL TANK AND DROVE ABOUT 8 MILES AND PARKED IN HOME GARAGE. LIQUID FUEL LEAK FROM REAR SIDE OF THE TANK WAS OBSERVED FORMING A PUDDLE IN GARAGE GIVING STRONG GAS SMELL IN FEW MINUTES. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, I COULD CONTINUOUS DROP BY DROP LIQUID FUEL LEAK. I CONFIRM THAT I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY LEAK IN LAST TWO WEEKS WHEN GAS TANK WAS LESS THAN 3/4 OR LESS FULL.IN LAST 15 DAYS I CONSIDER LUCKY THAT THE LEAK DID NOT TAKE PLACE OVER EXHAUST GAS PIPE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE TOWED MY CAR TO A REPAIR CENTER AND WILL ADVISE HIM TO SAVE EVIDENCE.
THE CAR GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING ALMOST BEEN IN A ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THIS ISSUE .I DON'T EVEN DRIVE IT ANYMORE

FOR A COUPLE DAYS MY CAR WOULD BEGIN STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I FELT LIKE IT SLOWED DOWN TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR BUT NEVER COMPLETELY SHIFTED. THEN, ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING, ON MY WAY HOME MY CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR COMPLETELY AND I COULDN'T DRIVE FORWARD. MY CAR ONLY ALLOWED ME TO GO IN REVERSE. 2AFTER ALLOWING IT TO SIT FOR A WHILE IT WOULD DRIVE BUT WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE HOME IT CONSTANTLY SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENED AT AN INTERSECTION. *TR

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.

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 WAITING TO HAPPEN' ON THE STREETS. IS IT CHEAPER FOR THEM TO PAY FOR PEOPLES DEATHS THAN TO TAKE ALL THESE VEHICLES OFF THE STREET? HONDAS BIGGEST SETTLEMENT CANNOT REPLACE SOMEBODY'S LOVED ONE. THERE HAS TO BE JUSTICE SOMEWHERE. PLEASE HELP SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE, THANK YOU.. *TR

MANUAL TRANS/CLUTCH - LOOSES HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN LOW AIR TEMPS AND WHEN CAR IS SITTING ON A HILL. HARD TO SHIFT ONLY IN 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR. THERE WERE VERY FEW ACURA 2002/2003 CL 3.2 TYPE SS MADE, SO EVEN A COUPLE COMPLAINTS SHOULD WARRANT A REVIEW. I FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH OWNERS COMPLAINING AND ASKING FOR HELP FROM OTHERS ON THIS PROBLEM. IVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANS CARS AND TRUCKS FOR 22 YRS TO INCLUDE ONE HONDA THAT STIL HAD THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH AT 225K MILES, SO IT IS NOT A DRIVER RELATED PROBLEM. ALL THE FOCUS HAS BEEN ON THE AUTO TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS CAR...THAT FAILED. ACURA HAS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT, WHEN THEY TRY TO SHIFT INTO SECOND WHEN CROSSING A BUSY STREET AND CANT. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND I JUST GOT LUCKY. *NM
TRANSMISSION PROBLEM: ERRATIC SHIFTING, HARD DOWNSHIFTS, SHIFTS FROM 5TH GEAR INTO 2ND GEAR AT HIGH SPEED: CLOSE-TO-DEATH EXPERIENCE ON THE HIGHWAY!! THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE WAS DONE CONCLUDING NOTHING WRONG. FROM MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE RECALL - "BAND-AID FIX" DOES NOT FIX WHATS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT IS A TRICK TO MAKE CONSUMERS THINK THAT THE CAR IS FINE. THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT BUT DOES NOT WORK!! THIS MATTER SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO PROPERLY AND THUROUGHLY AGAIN. I DO NOT WISH TO INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR OTHERS BECAUSE MY CAR IS POORLY DESIGNED. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER RECALL SINCE IT WAS ALREADY PROVIDED. FURTHERMORE, THE SYMPTOMS OF MY PROBLEM ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE RECALL SYMPTOMS. THE HONDA MOTOR CO. KNOWS VERY WELL THAT ALL THESE SYMPTOMS ARE COMBINED BUT DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THE CORRECT PARTS BECAUSE IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH AND COVER TOO MANY VEHICLES. RIGHT NOW MY CHOICES ARE VERY LIMITED BUT EXPENSIVE: REPLACE WHOLE TRANSMISSION WITH FEW OTHER PARTS. MANY CONSUMERS' TRANSMISSIONS FAIL MULTIPLE TIMES SO THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX AS THE COMPANY CLAIMS WITH THE RECALL SERVICE AND I'M SURE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAIN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND MAKE THEM ISSUE A REAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM OR REFER ME SOMEWHERE THAT I COULD GET HELP RESOLVING THIS MATTER.
SINCE THE SECOND DAY OF HAVING MY CAR, MY CAR HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR OVER 10 TIMES FOR VARIOUS AND SOMETIMES REPEATING PROBLEMS.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE PART WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
THE TRANSMISSION IN MY ACURA CL-S LOCKED UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY. IT LOCKED UP AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FAILED APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES LATER. I AM NOW ON MY THIRD, WHICH IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF INEVITABLE FAILURE. *AK
WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD THEN THE DRIVER HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED ON IT'S OWN. THE DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE PINION SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *NM

I OWN A 2002 ACURA CL TYPE S. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER ONLY 12,000 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, THE TRANSMISSION STILL HAD PROBLEMS AND WAS SLIPPING BUT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH IT WHEN I KNEW THAT THERE DEFINITELY WAS. AFTER GOING THE WINTER WITH A SLIPPING TRANSMISSION, IT'S NOW SUMMER AND IT IS GETTING WORST EVERY DAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP TODAY AND ONCE AGAIN I'M FACED WITH FIRST A TRANSMISSION FLUSH THEN ANOTHER REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. I FEEL ACURA, NOT THE DEALERSHIP, HAS SHOWN THAT A GREAT REPUTATION CAN BE DISSOLVED QUICKLY BY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, SLOW REACTION TO PROBLEMS, AND NOT FIXING A CLEAR PROBLEM. ACURA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES TO 100K ON THEIR TRANSMISSIONS BUT THIS DOES ME NO GOOD. THIS IS A BUSINESS CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THE HEADACHE OF TAKING MY CAR IN CONSTANTLY FOR SERVICE. I BOUGHT MY ACURA BECAUSE OF THEIR REPUTATION AND BECAUSE OF OWNING A GREAT HONDA AUTOMOBILE IN THE PAST. I WILL NOW NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA/ACURA PRODUCT AND THEY HAVE LOST A GOOD CUSTOMER. *NLM

2002 ACURA CL 3.2 TYPE S TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I HAVE ABOUT 24K MILES AND RECENTLY MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. WHILE GOING 30MPH WITH THE 3RD GEAR, IF YOU ACCELERATE SO THAT THE SECOND GEAR KICKS IN, IN KICKS IN VERY SHARPLY, CREATING AN UNBEARING JERK THAT IS VERY OBSTRUSIVE INSIDE THE CABIN. HONDA SHOULD PLACE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL. DEALER WAS WILLING TO REPLACE IT BUT I'M NOT SURE IF NEW TRANSMISSION WILL BE BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE.
THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP.*JB
I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 02 CL FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE GONE TO MY DEALER, METRO ACURA, SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. I HAVE EVEN BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING THE CAR TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN. FINALLY MY DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A "REBUILT" ONE. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT ACURA SHOULD TAKE THIS MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY.
THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE. (CL TYPE-S) TS SCC
