Transmission Inspection Port Problem
I just had an experience this past week that kind of shocked me, but was taken care of by my Acura dealership (Falconi's in Las Vegas).
I was putting on my Full Nose Mask the other day and noticed a reddish-pink puddle under the left front area of the car. I instantly knew it was transmission fluid and I panicked. I only have 1300 miles on my new Type S. Since it was after 8 p.m. and the service department was closed, I called my salesman and he set it up for me to come in the next morning for them to look at it. Long story short, it ended up being a problem with the Transmission Inspection Port not being properly installed. A complete transmission service was performed, and it appears to have no problems.
I just wanted to put this out there so everyone might go check for puddles under their cars. Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. I really love the car and it is treating me right so far.
