What owners wrote
While driving 70 MPH and without warning speed of vehicle dropped from 70MPH to 10 MPH. Driver suffered minor injuries.
My acura 3.2 tl transmission has failed for the second time in 5 years. I replaced the transmission for the first time 2 years after I bought it. After another 70,000 miles, it has failed again and replacing the transmission costs approximately $5000.00. As a consumer of a supposedly high quality vehicle, this is just wrong.
