interesting stuff..is the extended warranty, in addition to the factory warranty? for instance, i have 16k, so if i buy a 5yr/75,000m warranty, does that mean, its cover for an additional 75k miles or until i hit 75k miles?

how did u get a tranny so quick while others have to wait? just curious. what was ur prob w/ur tranny? cuz i am paranoid now...gimme some symptons...

 

My service manager told me 2-3 days to ship...have me back in my car by the end of the week.

 

you guys really plan on keeping your car that long!?!?

I've still yet to hit 20k in a car

 

my tranny was jerking...from 40-70km/h

I dont know why its only taking a day for me to get a tranny, it might take 2...

I dont plan on keeping this car affter the finance is over..its a 5 year finance, and with my high milage, i need the warranty.

 

what do u mean by jerking? can u describe it more in detail? i'm getting my tranny fluid changed on thurs...for peace of mind

 

The whole thing is that it feels like the clutch is slipping....I think the jerking feeling is from the car shifting out of gear into neutral and back again...that shit scared the crap of me!!

 

Wow, 2 days... that's definitely the best turn-around I've seen yet!!

BTW, I edited your subject... no cursing in titles!!

 

WTF, I am dying with out my car, and just called them up, they told me they have no Idea on when it getting fixed...

I want my car back..


good for u that your getting back early. im jelous

 

well, I'm trading my car in on Friday...I don't think I'll drive it until then, just to be safe

Amir: I can't believe your tranny has gone...that sucks bro...

 

I have over 11k on my car that I got at the beginning of May.

 

Amir,

Are you getting it done in North Toronto?? I think I might need a new tranny as well....it is lagging and slipping.. If it takes 2 days, I don't mind at all. Should I speak to Mr. Moore?

Either that, or if I can get a deal like Astro, I will get a pearl white TL-S.

 

Until you hit 75k miles.

 

Well I just got a message on my cell phone.



Tranny is on back-order...that stupid service manager was probably trying to look good in front of those people wearing suits waiting to talk to him in his office...the fucking beaver.

its gonna take around a week to two weeks..

they also have my headlight housing on order, also a new seatbelt retractor on order.

 

moore is a fucking beaver, when i was testdriving the car with him today, when he felt the jerking, he did this really weird face that I REALLY tried hard not to laugh at. but seriuosly, he looks like a beaver..

anyways, if you want a new tranny you have to go WITH him on the testdrive,

ruvz you bastard, am i gonna be the only CL owner at the meets?????

 

Well, right now, the deal sounds too good to be true...I can't compute it in my head.... However, I am trying to get in touch with Robb to get the details....... (ummm....I can see it now.....Pearl White...Skirts.... some pimp rims...

 

what are you driving habits to damage your tranny so quickly, and how does everyone have the problem around the same time?

 

Hmmm... I was wondering about driving habits too. However, are you “interested” in conspiracy theories by chance?

 

so get this tranny replace at 13-20K miles then another at 36-40K miles, the transmission is not suppose to be a fucking scheduled service! WTF! some things in life just really hit that button and this is one of them, i don't see how everyone hasn't sold their CL's yet. oh to answer that last question, the transmission failure is caused by DRIVING this shitpot!

 

i'm just gonna wait till we go into a bit more economical prssure, and i'l get a good deal on a trade to a TL-S..proably in febraury..

or i might just grab the extended warranty.

 

I still haven't reconciled the 1% failure rate (from Chod, et al) and the 6-month wait time as quoted by a member.

Now, if Acura was REALLY interested in making their company look stupid, I couldn't think of a better way. Hmmm... Let see, "I hate making a lot of money... How can I lose a ton of potential customers? I could just keep putting new transmissions in new cars that will sit on a dealer's lot and NOT put them in the cars of my-soon-to-rebel customer base..."

I keep hearing all of this stuff and I can really understand how someone can make a mistake with a new product. However, I can't understand how or why even a few people should be forced to wait for a new transmission (It is not as if the car was out of production)

The above is based on anecdotal information from the members here and my CLS has been fine (knock on wood)…

 

Damn that sucks everybody is getting attacked by tranny problems! Im taking every precaution, Im changing my tranny fluid like every 6000 miles!
