THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 3/07 FROM PRICE ACURA IN DOVER DELAWARE. THE SALES MAN WHOSE NAME IS BILL WHISTLER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEMS, THE CAR WAS INSPECTED FOR A SAFETY RECALL DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD LAST WELL THROUGH THE ACURA WARRANTY AND THE LIFE OF THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS WORTH OF DRIVING, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING ABOUT 65 ON THE HIGHWAY AND LIGHTLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THE TACHOMETER GO WELL BELOW THE NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND SLIPPED OUT OF 5TH GEAR INTO 2ND GEAR CAUSING A SUDDEN DECELERATION AND ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP ON THE FREEWAY. I WENT TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WILL BE NOTED IN THE COMPUTER AND WILL BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EVEN AFTER IT RUNS OUT. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA AMERICA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT IM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I WAS MORE AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL LOCK UP ON THE HIGHWAY AND ME OR MY FAMILY WILL END UP DEAD IN A CAR CRASH OR ROLL OVER, JUST LIKE SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET, THEY BOTH SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THEY CANNOT HONOR ANYTHING POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN JUST AFTER THE CAR CAME OUT OF WARRANTY AND ACURA SAID IF I PAY $3400 ACURA WILL PUT A USED THE TRANSMISSION THAT HAD ALREADY FAILED AND REBUILT IN THE CAR, I DECLINED. 2 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF 5TH GEAR WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR DURING RUSH HOUR AND THE POLICE WITNESSED THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT AND TOLD ME TO TOW IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I HAD AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS LOOK OVER THE CAR AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR ALMOST PUT HIM THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD TWICE AND I SHOULD LEAVE IT OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I HAD TO PAY $4000 TO HAVE A NEWLY REBUILT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IN MY CAR. WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE HONDA IS TOO CHEAP TO REPLACE THIS DEFECT IN MY CAR. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"TL","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
