After just over 100,000 km (64,000 Miles) when the warranty was just expired, the transmission started acting. The car is jerking from fist to second and from second to third gear.thinking the jerk might be from dirty transmission oil, I had the transmission oil changed at a Honda dealer with a cost of around $400 but the problem persisted. I then took it to an Acura dealer where I was told that there is a problem with the transmission and the cost of replacement would be around $11,000 dollars as the transmission is sealed and has to be changed completely. Digging more into the problem and I found that the transmission has extended warranty but as the dealer says, the warranty covers the transmission warmer only and nothing else.
I have to mention that in 2004 I bought a Honda and the same transmission problem showed up at just over 100,000 km and the dealer couldn't care less about my problem. I then decided not to buy a Honda ever again but I fell in the trap of thinking Acura is different with Honda.
Transmissions are not made to fail after 100,000 km but it seems as though Honda has been successful in making crappie transmissions. I have talked to Acura Canada but they do not care even though the transmission has extended warranty.
Consumers be alert that Honda is not the old Honda and they don't even stand behind their own warranty and now I am stuck with a crappie car that the repair cost is more than half the cost of the whole vehicle.
Not a happy customer. I will escalate this to the highest authorities hoping that Honda might come to its senses.
