Parked car. Moved transmission lever to what I thought was park (push straight up). Started to swing out of car putting weight on outside foot. The transmission was actually in neutral and the key was removed - it can be removed in any gear position just like the 2001 Honda Accord recall says. The Acura of the same year never had the recall even though it is using the same defective part numbers. Car started to roll backwards and I was forced to stop car using foot and hand pressure resulting in slight sprain to wrist requiring no additional care. This is a troubling safety issue that was actually recalled for Honda brand vehicles only ignoring Acura brand defects.

I own a 2001 Acura 3.2 Cl type S. I was driving my car (approx 45 mph) on a busy two-lane road yesterday when my car suddenly stopped responding to the accelerator being pressed. I had cars coming at me at a high speed behind me. I saw an opening in oncoming traffic so that I could turn and get myself and my child out of harm's way. When I turned left, my car (I guess) downshifted and came to an almost complete stop with cars coming behind me and at me!!! I thankfully safely got to the side of the road and have not driven it since. I have been told it sounds like complete transmission failure. Myself and my son could easily have been killed! what do I do" am I responsible for paying to replace transmission"

The vehicle transmission failed at 18700 miles. The consumer received a notice that the manufacturer was extended the warranty on the transmission. A little over a year later the consumer transmission failed and was replaced with a new one. The consumer then received a recall on the transmission and had it replaced a second time. Now the transmission is starting to slip again.

- Miami, FL, USA

The transmission failed prematurely. The part had been replaced three times, however the problem recurred. The transmission would slip and delay shifts. The downshifts were sometimes harsh. On at least two occasions when downshifting to pass other vehicles on the highway, the vehicle would feel as if the transmission had gone dead and then shift.
