Transmission went bad today

I have 01 CL-Type S, 26000 miles.
Today on the highway car downshifted to 2 or 1 at 70 mph.
Quite an experience. Then I decided to shift to manual, but sudden downshifts continued. Anyway by the time I get home
clutch was slipping and stayed on 2 gear.
Tomorrow dealer is going to pick it up.
Shame on Acura, I think this is my last Honda vehicle.
I am so pst off on Acura because this failure is so damn
dangerous. I was lucky no one was at my rear bumper!

Anyway I will keep you guys posted.

Car was a good daily driver, quiet, comfortable and quick. I wanted to keep it as a second to my 04 M3, but after this failure I probably will sell it and find something else.
It is in showroom condition.

I had feeling that it is going to fail, I had an oil change and told dealer that I do not want to end up rear ended on a highway because of this, but they told be that I will get warning light before something similar happens. Well, even now warning light is still off.

our cars are related.

i was at the dealer the week before getting an oil change, and told them that i felt sluggish and some hesitation and something wrong, they told everything is just fine and the light will come on.

next week that shit box went out. almost got into like 3 different accidents while driving home and to the dealership.

got it fixed in only 8days, everything is fine now.
