What owners wrote
While traveling on highway, the automatic transmission became locked in fourth gear, check engine light came on, and the d4 indicator on dash began to blink. Dealer says cause was rusted internal valves in the transmission.
My transmission on my acura 3.0 failed after only 68,000 miles. The dealer and acura headquarters refuse to handle the issue.
