Recently reported EQUIPMENT problems on 2002 Acura CL

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

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. this all has occurred within a three year period. i have never had a vehicle that has had so many problems. some of the problems have been so severe that i no longer feel safe driving my car. one of these problems was my transmission spontaneously downshifting from 5th gear to 2nd gear at highway speeds. this caused a tremendous decrease of speed. had someone been in back of me, i would have been seriously injured. the transmission was replaced, but it continues to act spontaneously. after making complaints directly to acura of america, i feel snubbed by them in that they have not sought to assist me other than warranty repairs.
