BLEXV6

Okay, my ongoing saga is that last week my tranny died and my car was towed to the dealer. It took a week, but I got my car back today and the tranny (the remanufactured unit), was noticeably moaning when downshifting, turning corners and in particular when in reverse.

Well I return to the dealer and one of their techs take a drive with me, and I can reproduce the the moan noise. He says, does it not usually make that noise and I am like NO. He then tells the service manager hes 80 % sure I need another new tranny.

The service manager says that I should drive the car on the weekend and if its does not get any better, return the car for another transmission. Its getting worse.

Well, I think I am a slow ticking time bomb that may go off the next time I am at the dealer. I know its not their fault, but I am piss-d.

I want rid of this car. It just feels like its less now. If Acura screws up the tranny again, I will be working hard for them either buying it back or helping me with a deal on a new MDX.

I will keep you posted.

BLEXV6,

Man this sux, I think you are the first one I've heard in Ontario that's needed a tranny (heck make that3rd tranny) Curious can you post your kms and the date your car was built (drivers door frame).

Also whats the deal with the ext. tranny warranty for us CAD folks... I have still not received or heard anything ... Anyone else ???

The car is a 2002 TL-P and was built in june 2001. It has 64,000 kilometers (37,000 miles), on the odometer.

I spoke to the tech and he said there have been a lot of transmissions go on this vehicle, at their dealership alone and he attributes it to cost cutting by Honda, to keep the price low.

I have heard that the Canadian warranty will be 6 years, 160,000 kilometers. Nothing in writing yet but I will be asking for it.
