The remedy outlined in campaign 04V176000 did not resolve the manufacturers safety defect for my vehicle. Per the recall, my transmission had an oil cooler return line installed in December 2004 by sterling Acura of austin. I replaced the transmission fluid at 47000, 71000 and 107000 miles. In August of 2011 at 133000 miles, my vehicle suddenly started stuttering and hesitating when up shifting from first gear. The vehicle would also lurch forward due to unexpected down shifts at moderate speed. Depending on the traffic and driving conditions this could have resulted in a collision, luckily in my case it did not. However, other owners impacted by campaign 04V176000 may not be as lucky since it is likely a matter of time before their transmission eventually fails for the same safety issues raised in 2004.

2 weeks back while driving on highway, mil (engine) indicator and tcs indicator showed yellow. The transmission was running slow in spite pressing the accelerator, delayed gear engagement while accelerating, harsh gear shifting noise was noticed. I have been facing delayed transmission issues during acceleration previously and thought it was normal. When checked with dealer (from whom we purchased the car at 93K miles) they highlighted as follows. 124705 found code P0740 internal transmission failure. Transmission replacement needed. The dealer quoted $4000 for assembling remanufactured transmission and addition $1200 might be charged if my car transmission cannot be reused by Acura. I called Acura they took my car and owner information. They mentioned it has crossed the warranty limits and they cannot do anything. Lately we came to know about the Acura severe transmission issues on the web. The car was sold by the dealer to us in spite knowing about these issues. We have been doing regular maintained and have to face this problem. Recently we did change the timer belts and engine mounts. As a single car owner we have to go through safety issues in the product, wasted time spend in understanding the product issue which is never declared by Acura, visiting dealer and mechanic shops to make sense on changing the transmission and continue to spend on major reworks. Acura has to take responsibility and address genuine product issues which are nothing to do with customer. I want to escalate this issue to NHTSA for their review. Kindly do the needful.

I had a total of 6 transmissions replaced in my Acura TL 2000 3.2 liter. Why is Toyota getting so much press and trouble and Honda didn't. Honda wouldn't address the issue and my resale value was horrible. I encountered the problem after buying the car at 14,000 miles. I am considering sending this to abc news. They wanted the story a couple of years ago when I E-mailed them. I think I will follow up now. Why do Toyota owners get help but Acura owners do not. The recommendations by your Agency didn't protect Acura owners from potential deadly consequences nor financial losses. I spent thousands of dollars on this problem. Your remedy was insulting and the lawsuit was a joke.

All motor mounts have failed in my 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. In reading about this online it appears that it's happened to thousands of other people online with the same year, make and model as me. As I just purchased the car, I don't know when it happened, however I just uncovered it and really think it's worth looking into.

While starting up the car and shifting to reverse, the car accelerated up to a high speed. I was not able to stop the car until it hit a tree and the impact of the car cause me to hit the gear shift to park. The rear end was damaged enough that my insurance company totaled it. The distance of travel before the impact was less than 20 feet. I have had to have a transmission replaced as a result of a safety recall (2003).
