Has anyone’s transmission failed yet? Car was moving forward whilst in reverse but not doing anything now even if i press the n button then hold it for 2 seconds it does not move (yes ebrake was disengaged) im sending it to the dealership in the morning but has it happened to anyone yet and what was your experience like?

Dealer said that transmission was blown charged me almost 250 just for the diagnosis they sold me the car with 158,xxxkm and gave me a warranty of 160,000 km/3months anyway when i was leaving the dealer (with tow truck) the salesman were asking the tow truck driver where is my car going (has nothing to do with them) they quoted me 4000 for a used transmission with 98,000km and 2000 for labor i got everything done at a reputable transmission shop for 4000 but anyways i got my baby back today 😁

Very cheap compared to the dealer that was charging 4500 for a used tranny with 96,000km and another 2500 for labor to install they charge $190/hr

I am surprised Acura dealers even offer used transmissions, they are supposed to offer remanufactured transmission. Strange
