I have had this vehicle now for only three weeks and I have had the most problems out of the transmission. It shifts hard to the point that it almost stops while driving in traffic. It drives smooth while getting to a higher speed however this IS not safe for anyone. The transmission in these vehicles apparently have been problematic as I have been finding out and no one wants to own up to it, or even replace with a non faulty transmission. I drive a total of a 100 plus miles per morning and evening sitting in traffic and driving at at least 75 miles per hour when on the highway. The hardshifts start when I am driving around town, or driving at speeds under 35. I have to drive in drive 3 gear just for a smoother ride. if my vehicle was to all of a sudden not shift I would be in an accident. All these transmissions should be on a recall list. Yes it may be expensive but what will be more expensive IS someone suing the car manufacturer for making faulty car transmissions and not recalling them or compensating owners no matter if it IS brand new or used. This cars are causing accidents, lives possibly taken, taking hard earn money from people's pockets, and so much more. Im a honda girl and I am disappointed in honda/acura.some one needs to get in touch with their soul and dig deep down inside and ask would you want your loved one going through this or losing their life over a faulty car. IS it worth it!!!!! Fix our cars no matter if under warranty or not..... Something needs to be done now!!!!

This complaint IS about my 1999 acura cl 3.0 with automatic transmission. as I was driving on the highway the vehicle, with an automatic transmission, downshifted causing the rpm's to redline and the vehicle to slow down rapidly. the tires spun at this time. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle but ever since the vehicle has lost use of all but one gear, 2ND gear. reverse IS not working as well. I have read that this IS a very common with this vehicle as well as its honda counterparts. all I want IS the problem repaired and a vehicle to drive while it IS being fixed. thanks.
