While driving on the highway and doing about 60 mph my car suddenly down shifted into 2nd gear. i nearly lost control of the car and caused an accident. there was no prior indication that something was wrong with the car. i'm a mechanic, and have been one for over 20 years and i have never seen or had a transmission give out on me in such a way. called the dealer and was told that the car was not covered anymore by the recall. recalls for this model and year acura. now, i think, no i know that this is a real safety concern that someone might possibly lose their life over. upon doing some research on my own i learned that the transmission problems that this 2000 to 2003 honda's and acura has is due to shoddy workmanship. now i'm if the manufacturer knows this and they should cover any and all vehicles still on the road with recalls that they should honor.

Vehicle was in motion, while going on the highway at 65 mph all of a sudden it jumped to 20 miles per hour making me and every body unsafe on the road, luckily the cars that were behind me were far enough and were able to react quickly. i never had any warning signs or check engine lights that would warn me there was something wrong with the car. i called the dealership and they said they couldn't do anything to cover the repair because the recall was closed back in 2005. i feel there was poor workmanship when they looked at the vehicle back when they inspected it putting peoples lives in danger.

In forward motion, freeway. electrical. tranny. car currently reads 138,356 miles. around roughly 134,000 miles the vehicle check engine light began to flash as a result from rpms reaching about 6 on the cluster rpm display due what felt like slipping into to 3rd or 4th gear. slipping however usually results with what i would consider a slamming experience from eventually catching and shifting into the correct gear. this happened as i was merging onto freeway. car did not catch gear but nuetralized until i switched to sport shift mode and displayed 4 gear and the vehicle jetted off. cel has remained on and 3rd gear still a issue. did much maintenance, replacement of solenoids,fluid flush, etc. problem solves then returns. this has went on for about 6mon this last month seemed issue had resolved itself after two more atf flushes in the prior month. this last week my lady and i coming home from our date night, luckily thats wednesday(hump day) for us, so freeways at 12:30-1am in san diego hold few traffic.i say luckily because going about 70-75 mph the car suddenly felt like what slamming into a wall head on at 75 mph must feel like. ...

This car has always hadd scheduled maintenance and recalls performed asap. transmission was shifting erratically so it was taken to transmission place before due and it was flushed and inspected. it still shifts incorrecly but intermittently. i decided to do some research and found numerous safety issues with the transmission. i bought this because it was rated as such a safe car for my teenager. i am beginning to rethink my original decision. all the scary results of this symptom have happened after the purchase. we have had it since sept 2014.
