I am looking for any advice or guidance about my situation!

My boyfriend and I have a 2003 Acura TL type-s we previously had received a letter about the transmission recall. We took the car in to be serviced and have the replacement done which went okay. Now a year later we started noticing a funny noise and the service lights went on. I came to the forums here and noticed all the warnings about the transmissions.... so we decided not to drive the car and take it Back to Acura where we initially bought it.

Now they are saying IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN BUT WE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY ( the 7yr 100,000miles) because our VIN number isn't listed ( which is B.S. if you ask me) So they said they will call us monday and let us know what they can do. I don't understand how if we received a recall letter how our VIN number is not included? That makes no sense and I am frustrated with this Acura dealer. I also ran our VIN on the class action website and it said we were not included but we are having the same problems if not worse!

If this is our second tranny isn't it obvious that it should be included? Also we have a lot of weird technical problems I think from the computer and they are now telling us we don't have engine diagnostic! BUT ON OUR CAR INFO OR MANUAL IT SAYS WE DO! WTF...

* NOTE THE LAST TIME THEY DID A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT THEY SAID THEY WERE BEING MORE THAN NICE TO US BECAUSE OUR WARRANTY WAS UP... WHICH IS B.S. IF THEIR IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT... THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR MISTAKE.... PLEASE HELP ME WE HAVE UNTIL MONDAY I AM GOING TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHY OUR CAR IS NOT LISTED OR INCLUDED THANKS ~KIM

 

Actually if you read around there are some people that said the same thing happened to them. So if your lucky acura might fix it anyway. I also heard that if the already replaced your tranny like they did in your case they give them a 12k/1 year warranty. Also how many miles are on your car?

 

You are correct replacement is 12k and ours was just about to be up we barely made it. We have 75,000 miles. We are now requesting our computer to be checked as well.

 

Its not a computer problem, and i dont know what you expect them to look for.
Early on acura changed the shift mapping to try to be easier on the clutch pack, but that didnt work.
