My TSX going into Operation Room

Just got a call from dealer that my new AT tranny will be in tomorrow.
(Mine is one of those unfortunate TSB Out-of-Spec ones).

I asked if I can bring car in Friday.
Service advisor told me the new tranny has to go in in 5 days after DOA
or Acura/Honda won't pay.

Can anyone confirm this ? or is she BS-ing me.

And no they're even fecking out of loaners !
boy do I like to go postal on them.

I have really not much experience with Dealer Srervice.
This will definitely be the biggest job I've ever had with them.
I will try to get "Extended Warranty" out of this sorry business.

Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Maybe it's more appropriate to post this Q at 2G TL forum. Some ppl there could know more about this. ???

We have a few, I only remember 5 cases so far. Some of them are discovering it before/right after the delivery.

I'll move your thread to 2G TL now. Good luck.

Ofcourse I did.

This is NOT TSX-specific.
I am asking about general Acura Dealer service.

The two transmissions are TOTALLY different. The TSX has so far had reliable AT's.

I guess this guy is only questioning if this is true or not...

"Service advisor told me the new tranny has to go in in 5 days after DOA or Acura/Honda won't pay."
