My 2004 Acura TL is my first car owned. When I put the car in drive I can only accelerate to 20-30mph on the highway. Because, the car would not accelerate on a straight way or up hills. This is a dangerous manufacture malfunction with Acura transmissions for the consumers financially and physcially. I would appreciate a recall being done on my 2004 Acura TL because I love this car and would love to keep it. I am a college student and do not have the money to install another transmission and the same thing happens again. I have read many reviews about transmissins failures on Honda/Acura transmissions. I thought Acura was a great brand, but Acura CEO and headquaraters have to know that consumers are frustrated and angry regarding transmissions and other related issues due to the transmissions.

There is a very common issues going on with these Acura from 2000 up to 2008. With transmission going bad. I research it and found out with every shop and people online having transmission break down with those Acura TL 2000 up to 2005.please can someone investigate this. There should be a recall for this at some point. The stop accelerating while I was driving it on the highway.that was a very big safety issue for me.
