Complaint Summary

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Owner Narrative

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2002 ACURA TL (75000 MILES) SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT 50 MPH. I NEARLY SMASHED MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS FORTUNATE TO AVOID STRIKING OTHER VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED ONE. *JB
