Well I guess I knew it was going to happen, so thats why I bought a warranty. I've got an 01 TL that had just 36k miles when I got it and a non acura dealership. I guess why I'm posting is to mention about the outstanding customer service Acura has. I could dig deep into it, but basically the warranty company (extended-care plus) was wanting to do the bare minimum and spend as least as possible, they basically wanted to get a unknown tranny out of a junk yard and pay the Acura dealership (Acura of Peoria,AZ) next to nothing to install it (leaving me with over a $2k out of pocket difference). Well the dealership went back and forth with my warranty company and handled all the BS that I thought I was going to have to deal with. Needless to say I'm getting an fresh (yes I know rebuilt) tranny from Acura with a 3yr 36k mile warranty for under $1k, AND I get to drive around in a 2010 $50k Acrua ZDX loaner for free while the work is being done.

 

for an 01 that is incredibly low mileage

 

Previous owner was a snowbird (only lived in AZ in the winter)

 

when I first saw ur username I thought u were from sac since it had sic soul916

but anyway my tranny went b4 I bought the car it was replaced at 35k then my engine mounts were replaced at 37k.

bought the car with 70k and now I'm at 115k hoping nothing goes wrong with my tranny

 

Wow..thats low mileage... my 03-S just hit 70,000 today

 

yeah, use to live in Sac.
Second yeah, I was amazed at the low mileage too, but knew of possible (if not definite) tranny issues.
Like I said before, another blown tranny post is nothing new, I am just so impressed with Acura's customer service. I've owned a Chevy, Toyota, Subaru, and numerous other vehicles and I've never really had a bad customer service issue, but I've also never recieved customer service like Acura has provided. I guess it sounds like im brown nosing, but after this incident, I pretty sure my next vehicle will be another Acura......I do love the ZDX, but $900 a month is a little steep for me :-)

 

just hit 53k in my 03tls today!!

 

after market warranties are junk. I also had to pay $1000 without any kind of warranty

 

its all in the fine print with those warranties
take a magnifying glass when you buy a car from a dealer!
