Background:

A few days ago I noticed a high pitched whine coming from the front left side of my engine when decelerating. I took it in to the dealer today for service and mentioned it and they confirmed the tranny was dying....again. I had the tranny replaced about 4 years ago and was told that the warranty on the replacement tranny was only for 3 years.

Question:

1) If the tranny was replaced when the car had ~60k miles, does that void the 109,000 VIN warranty extension? I ask because my car has ~105k miles on it right now and I feel like even if the 2nd tranny failed it should still be replaced under the 109,000 warrany extension.

Thoughts?

 

my tranny whines a bit when im driving as well..took it to the dealer they said my tranny was fine. blah. good luck..this tranny shit is bs

 

What year is the car? Under 8 you might get lucky with a tranny replacement.

 

the warranty is 7 years 9 months or 109k. Which ever comes first.

 

I would surely plead my case for goodwill help with that mileage esp. if you have proof of maintenance such as fluid changes. Year model?

 

You are still under the mileage limit. What year is it? If your car is within time limits too then you should have no problem getting the transmission replaced free. If you're over on time you still might get covered. It just all depends on the service manager's willingness to go to bat for you. My car got covered even though I was over the time limit. I was still way under the mileage limit so they were able to get me a goodwill transmission.

 

It is a 2000 TL-P. Dealer is now saying they will do nothing for me . I was just quoted $3100 plus tax too. I am not sure what to do. Who has that kind of money laying around?

Sadly, this will be my last car from Acura.

 

Who at the dealer? Did you call Acura cust. care & ask them? If not, spend a little time & read on this forum for advice before you call.
You might get partial coverage.
