Just got my car and already the check engine and VSA lights come on, along with the exclamation point light...

 

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I hope you get it worked out.

 

exclamation point light!!!!!......oh hell nawww....lol....pay a mechanic to check it out fully and have acura fix everything and reimburse you for you trouble...

 

Good symptom for a new tranny. Have the dealer check it out. Where did you buy it?

 

first off pull the codes and see what they mean.......then go from there. Dealer should be more than willing to help you on that one.... unless the car is over 4 years on in serice date or 50K miles (may be 52500 miles shortly) if it turns out to be the trans, make SURE that the car is not salvage titled....

 

Bought at Honda City in Levittown NY with 32229 miles

 

Trans is under 7 year 9 month 109K warranty so if it is the trans you should be OK as long as not salvage titled

 

your tranny =

I've seen more CL-S 5ATs do this to their owner.

I wonder why this is?

 

Honda is trying to see how many people can take a joke.

 

 

CLs 01 with 68000 miles on it, 2nd and 3rd sort of choky now. =\

 

in that case, i think that they should stick to their day job.

 

 

a day old tho?!?! BURN!

 

This statement is wrong on a couple levels...

1) Not all 03 CL automatics are covered under the extended warranty. It all depends on the VIN. Acura thinks they might have fixed the issue part way thru the 03 Model Year... So the auto tranny on some late MY03's are only covered for 4 yrs/50K miles (but I'm sure dealer will replace a failed auto tranny under goodwill if you bitch enough).

2) You'll only get the extra 9 months and 9K miles if you "opt-in" to the class action lawsuit... otherwise you get the 7k/100k from the in service date.

At least that's my story Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

 

BUMMER! I bought mine in August, and two days after buying it my check engine light came on. Came out to be i had bent intake valves... Luckily the dealer (Hinshaws Acura) paid for the valve job!

 

I'm sorry, but that's the funniest statment I've seen all day.

 

You like that shit dont cha.

 

now should i go back to the dealer (honda) or straight to acura??

 

I say go to acura I mean they will know whats wrong and if its the tranny. They will repalce if you have the warranty if they wont do anything then back to honda.

 

go to acura. you should get a new tranny. you have three days from date of purchase to return the car. honda dealer should take care of you if it is not covered by acura.
