I was driving in Santa Barbara, I made a right turn to go up a hill. Suddenly a really loud "POP" and the car started to roll down the hill. I hit the gas to stop the car from rolling down the hill, and more nasty sounds came out of it like a grinding type of sound. So I was stuck in there for a while. I called the Acura roadside and they claimed they only cover the first $100. of the tow. So I called AAA and they showed up and no problems. So I don't know what the problem of the car is. I haven't looked at it but maybe a cv joint popped or I hope not but the transmission. I know I will look at it tomorrow and then send it back to Acura. Any ideas on what it can be?

 

Bye Bye tranny

 

timing belt snapped

 

Well I took it to Acura and they called me this morning they said because my car was lowered they wont cover the axle. He claims that it snapped inside the casing??? I don't know where he is talking about. But it's going to be 400 for the repair 199.95 for the parts and 200 for labor. Good thing that I have a 100 savings card from them and they are going to honor it and brings it down to 300. I guess it's better then a couple grand.

 

that happened to me and it was my left control arm..u may wanan get a second opinion.,..i had all the same symptoms

 

I would just replace it yourself if you can- the part is only $75

 

At the least try to get the part from somewhere else for cheaper. They will do any installation work even if you don't get the parts from them.

 

If that were the case the motor wouldnt run and would be toast.
