Hey guys...We own a 2001 Acura CL Type S with 29,000 garaged and easy-driven miles. My family purchased the car with 13,000 several years ago. We took the car on a long drive of several hours and after driving back to home, the second gear slipped during a shift. I took it to the dealer and after a week of calls with Acura CS...the will not offer any more than 60 percent of the total repair. I need help, I am frustrated and do not feel like I should have to pay. I am five months outside of the extended warranty. I have purchased several new Acura's for me and my family in the last few years. I am a loyal customer.

Acura's offer to pay 60% on a 7 year old car is a lot better than you'd get from GM or Ford.

60% of 4k is more than the 1350 quote I just got for the job.

Take what you can get. It sucks, but it's better then paying for all of it.
Acura has been crap for service as of late. Get a Lexus next time.

What ever happened to that Class action suit warrant coverage? I had mine replaced last year at no cost w/80,000 miles.

I just got a new trans on an '01 with 108089 miles on it. Find out the date the car was first sold. Pay for a carfax to get the info. If the car is less than 7 years 9 months old, and has less than 109000 miles on it, they must replace it as per the lawsuit.

do you have an acura invoice? the in service date should be listed to the immediate right of year make model

My tranny is on its way out. I called DCH Acura in Montclair, NJ when 3rd gear was a minor slip and was told I was out of warranty because the delivery date was in Dec of 2000. Its an 01. What the F%CK!! Now the check engine light is one, it slips when I'm on the highway, then it slips and kicks into gear hard. Reverse delays before it engages....Mann i'm so pissed plus i still have payments. I have 107,XXX

Imma try another dealer. i'll keep u posted

In service date of December 00 is indeed possible for a 01 car since they were on sale starting in september of 00

warranty is 7 years 9 months from the date. December 00 to September 08 was the warranty period.......


See if acura will offer some assistance with the unit......never hurts to ask

They were on sale in March of 2000.

I should have said at least....lol

they want me tp pay $115 for a diagnosis, the want the service guy advised me was that he will check with the manager and see what they will coem up with. It shouldn't matter what the mileage is. 100k the car his just breaking in. I shouldn't have to pay fro some f'ed up designed the company wanted to try out. No matter what, the problem is still there.

took the car to the dealer, it got late so they gave me a a 09 tsx sweet little ride. i will know more info tommorow

YeuEmMaiMai

Acura of Springfiled just informed me that they are not covering my car due to high miles. I have 107, and some change and i'm 3 months out of warranty. and on top of it all i have to pay $360 tomorrow for 6 bull shit ass spark plugs and 2 hours labor. Me and my wife already started looking at new cars and it won't be another Honda/Acura product.

I'll wait to speak to them in person tomorrow to when i give them back their TSX they spoiled me with and pick up my lemon.
