Is there a way i can get Acura to extend my warranty to 7yr/107k miles like everyone else? I have an 03 5AT that wasn't recalled for the tranny, however i just had the tranny replaced with the same issues everyone else has had numerous times... it is very unfair that I have to sell my car before 50k miles (for fear of the tranny crapping out afterwards) just because acura "thought" they fixed a problem that they really didn't... by the way i am putting on the chrome rims and posting pics by the weekend, i decided to put the rims on because i got another car for when its unacceptable chrome weather http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...059199398&rd=1, Now i can sell my 16" CL-p wheels...anyone interested in a winter set? abt 65-75% tread... stock michelins... GOT ME A PS3 TODAY!!!!

 

I would call Acura & explain it to them. Have the paperwork from the dealer to show you've had a problem.

 

What's your current mileage? You have until 56K to purchase an extended warranty. At least that was when I got mine.

My car has 32k and i dont see why when my car obviously has the same problem as all the others, i get a 50k warranty and they get 100k... even if they just cover the tranny til 100k that would at least be acceptable... my car looks so sweet now (silver with the OEM spoiler and the chrome 02 TLs wheels), and to have to give up at 50k, that would be no fun... but hey maybe something else will catch my eye by then, maybe with a little better tranny...

 

Just so you guys don't think I'm totally retarded, I put the chromes on to sell the CLp 16's to someone hopefully as a winter set...i don't feel like switching back and forth every winter, and besides i just picked up an "extra" car for everyday driving, as i now see the acura may better hold up not being used as such...it was an insane deal...look... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9199398&rd=1,1

Yeah but acura redesigned the tranny so it wont fail anymore. Anyone had a tranny installed since 02/05 hasnt had a singal failure yet. Acuras are great cars and are known to last for a long time the only thing before was to worry about the tranny and now that thats fixed your good to go. I mean think about when have you ever heard someone say there VTEC has failed?

 

There have been plenty of faild replacements.


Search IMRC. It's not Vtec but it fails causing a huge loss in power at Vtec engagement in the J32A2.

 

Yeah I understand that a lot of replacements have failed but from what i understand anyone having a replacement after 02/05 has been good to go and nobody with that tranny has a had a failure yet.

 

Where are you getting this information? I'd like to read it.

 

Well I myself has a TL and pretty much everyone on that forum said acura redid the tranny in 02/05 and they have all been good there was recenently a thread about it and here is the link for it.

Well, maybe it is fixed but I'm not sold yet. Maybe the horror stories have left me with a bad taste.

 

Remember it's 4 year/50K miles. You may be at 4 years sooner then 50K miles.

 

The powertrain warranty is until 7years/100,000 miles. The bumper to bumper is until 4 years/50,000 miles.

The transmission is covered by the powertrain warranty.

 

 

Right, I was pointing out he said after 50K he's going to need to dump it, He's likely closer to the 4 year mark then 50K miles.

 

the I30 looks good for the most part. this has the then Maxima engine, right? buy some Plastix and hit those headlights up and you're set.

 

7years/100k powertrain? Is this standard on all 2003 CLs?

 

Except for the diminished value at resale time.

 

The extended warranty is only for certain range of VIN for 2k3. I am pretty sure that if you are nice to Acura customer service and have complete maint records, you may get repalcement even if your VIN is not on the list.....

 

Is there a website where I can find out if my VIN is one of those covered through 7 years?

 

It's in the FAQ
