THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR OUR MODEL AND OUR CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO OUR DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED IN JANUARY OF 2005. THE DEALER STATED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS UPDATED (AN OIL JET KIT WAS INSTALLED) AND WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL AUGUST 2009. THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK WHILE DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND IT STARTED DRIVING AGAIN A COUPLE HOURS LATER. WE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE ENDED UP PAYING ALMOST $4000.00 TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. ACCORDING TO HTTP://WWW.HONDATRANSMISSIONSETTLEMENT.COM THERE HAS ADMITTEDLY BEEN A PROBLEM WITH HONDA/ACURA TRANSMISSIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VIN OF MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LAWSUIT, NOR DOES THE WARRANTY COVER OUR REPAIRS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF ACURA OWNERS. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING THE DEALER AS WELL AS ACURA AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR ACURA'S TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW.
