But I still love the car.

Just thought I'd give some love to the car on the board.

 

any chance it's a lemon law candidate???

 

In NJ, it's a lemon after three attempts.

 

I read up on the laws for that in NJ, it had to happen for the first time before 18,000 miles or 2 years whatever comes first. I have 67,000 on the car now.

 

I am happy with the car though, plus I don't feel like taking the system out

 

i'm on my third with 3k on it and i just know its not going to go the distance
i feel a 4th in my future too
the dealer handles it so well i don't give a shit
besides, i got a check for 1 months car payment from Acura too

 

It's probably not the car's fault. Those NY and NJ roads are bad ass terrible. Once, after putting on new heavy duty Monroe shocks on my Chevy Blazer, I decided to take a trip to NE. As I drove over the GW Bridge, I hit a pot hole and broke the shock. How come they never fix the roads there?

 

haha, true the roads are getting really bad here in NJ.

 

i'm on my 6th right now

 

fastvtechcl, yeah but you have ZEX 100 SHOT. I would think you would be killing it,

 

Haha

But aren't you in good w/ the dealer ?? Or at least his daughter? ( if I remember correctly)

 

Wow, I can't believe some people have gone through 3 or 4 trannies. My wife drove our Chevy Blazer and probably never reved above 3000rpm that needed a rebuild at 30000 miles and blew again at 45000 miles. Unlike Acura there was no extension on the warranty. Luckily we had an extended warranty otherwise would have been stuck with a $2500-$3000 bill. Needless to say I dumped it after the warranty expired. I will never buy a Chevy again. I was quite impressed that Acura extended the warranty so I don't have to worry about a big bill any time soon. Do you use tiptronic or auto shift? I usually drive in D4 in the city as well. Is there a common pattern of driving that causes malfunction?

That is like your wife going through 4 affairs. Sorry, I am not that forgiving.

 

You are certainly more patient than me. I went through two and dumped the b!tch for a CLS6..

BTW: The problem with the NJ lemon law (for you) is that you have 67k miles. The law says that you would owe:

(miles/100,000 * new car value)

so you would only be reimbersed for 33% of the new car value. I don't pretend to know your financial situation, or how you paid for your car, but if you financed more than 50-60% of it, you are still upside down. The 18k rule is (I believe) for non-drivetrain components. I could be wrong though (won't be the first time).

Sux the way it works...

 

damn

 

If it were a woman and a affair, the bitch you have not been so lucky.

 

haha LMAO !!!!!

your right i use to work at the acura dealership here in charlotte.. so i just keep getting trannies under warrenty :P

 

i thought that NJ lemon law states that the usage fee is 10 cents for every mile prior to the first occurence of the concern

 

Just my opinion, but I think any member here with a car running Nitrous should NOT count towards the “Dead Tranny” numbers.

You’re costing Acura THOUSANDS of dollars of unwarranted repairs to your car, which will be reflected in higher costs to everyone else in the future.
I know you have a “hook up” at the dealership for repairs, but I for one think the entire warranty on your powertrain should be VOIDED !!!
