I got in my car today and as I'm driving all of the lights on my dash came on and then it wouldn't shift and all of a sudden it just down shifted. It started driving alright for about 5 minutes and now it just keeps down shifting I have 52,000 miles on my 2001 cl-s am i screwed?

 

Those are the "Classic" Transmission signs............Call your dealership !

 

Is the warranty covered for 50k or 60k? sounds like a fooked tranny.

 

It had 6,000 miles on it when I bought it can anyone tell me how long the transmission is under warranty?

 

unless you bought an extended...the warrenty dies at 50,000

 

7yrs, 100,000 miles for me

 

I heard that Acura will generally fix the tranny under the warranty if it's within 10000 miles or so of the 50000 mile warranty. If the dealer won't do it, go over their head to the zone or regional office. But I think they will if you've done the proper maintenance. Good Luck and let us know!!!!

 

You are probably OK because it's a known fault. If your dealer doesn't just do the right thing, pursue it. I'd be surprised if the dealer or at least Honda didn't take care of you without much fuss.

Ironically, I'm about to email the Sharper Image for my 5th Ionic Breeze (air filtration). The first crapped out after a couple of weeks and the store gave me a new one. It crapped after a month and I was so frustrated that it was a year and a half (on a one year warranty) before I did anything about it, at which point I simply emailed them. It was a Saturday morning and I had an email back in 20 minutes--they sent out the newer more expensive model immediately. It crapped and they sent out another. And of course it crapped. I'd rather have something that worked for more that a few weeks before dying (shame, cuz they are great when they work), but this just shows that warranty period aren't written in stone.

 

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST ............Good luck

 

I hope you can get a new tranny...maybe this can even give you a new chance to get rid of it if you know what your facing now...

 

Sorry to hear! Make sure you post this in the tranny forum so we can keep good record

 

Strange how that happens.... I've had the same Ionic Breeze for almost 2 years, always on and in a high dust area....never a problem.

 

Wow, freaky--my four (two of the older, two of the Quadra) all lasted from two weeks to a month or so, not a high dust area, treated 'em well... maybe there is hope... they work really well when they work...

At least their customer service is good. What made me finally email them after all that time initially was noticing in their catalog the that CEO gives his email address. Now, of course I knew he would have other people answering the email, but just that he put "richard@sharperimage.com" gave me the idea that maybe he takes customer service seriously. 20 minutes was a pretty good response time on a Saturday morning!
