For a couple days my car would begin stalling while i was driving on the highway. I felt like it slowed down to shift out of gear but never completely shifted. Then, one day when i was driving, on my way home my car slipped out of gear completely and i couldn't drive forward. My car only allowed me to go in reverse. 2after allowing it to sit for a while it would drive but while trying to drive home it constantly slipped out of gear which was very dangerous especially when it happened at an intersection.

I bought a used car from chicago suburb individual owner about 15 days ago. Clean title with no accident history. The gas tank during last 15 days was never little above half tank.today i filled gas full tank and drove about 8 miles and parked in home garage. Liquid fuel leak from rear side of the tank was observed forming a puddle in garage giving strong gas smell in few minutes. When i looked under the car, i could continuous drop by drop liquid fuel leak.i confirm that i did not observe any leak in last two weeks when gas tank was less than 3/4 or less full.in last 15 daysi consider lucky that the leak did not take place over exhaust gas pipe while i was driving.i have towed my car to a repair center and will advise him to save evidence.

While driving there will be sudden accelaration without applying gas, all lights on dash board light up and vehicle will not go over 1000 rpm. Which was caused by transmission being shot.
A 2002 acura vehicle purchased for approximately $34,000 with a major failure after <30000 miles and <1year on the road. Complete disappointment at news of other owners with similar problem. With no previous warning, transmission slipping out of gear just red-lining when accelerating. Once stopped, car can no longer move and car just rev's as if in neutral.
I have had transmission problems with my 02 cl for about 4 months now.i have gone to my dealer, metro acura, several times and they have done nothing.i have even been pulled over by the police due to the fact that the car downshifts at highway speeds causing the car to immediately slow down.finally my dealer has agreed to replace the transmission with a "rebuilt" one.since this is a safety issue,i believe that acura should take this much more seriously.

From what i have seen on the internet, there are many people having this same problem, and acura insists there is no defect in the design of the transmission. There was one other cl type s at my dealer waiting for a replacement transmission as well. I am very concerned about the safety implications these failures may cause. I am on my second transmission, but there are others that are on their 3rd. Please let me know if you need any more info. Alot of info available on this at www.acura-cl.com..just do a search for "transmission tranny failure". Thanks!
My problem is the transmission issue. I have had my transmission replaced at about 12,000 miles and now agian i brought the car to a new dealer and its in for a new tranny at 36,300 miles. This is very disturbing to hear. I also have had warped rotorsat about 13,000 which i had to pay over 500 dollars in repair with acura. Which this problem is repeating.i am very disturbed because today i was on the highway and my car down shifted unexpectly and the rpms jolted up which forced my car to reacting in a unexpected speed increase which could've caused a major acident.dt
Transmission - first sign came when i was driving down the highway and the gears would begin slipping, didn't notice until i heard the engine rpm's rev high. Each day for the next two days the symptoms began to worsen. By the second day, the transmission could'nt find any gears. Window regulator - just one day, i pressed the down window button and i heard pop, and the window just slid all the way into the door.
Automatic transmission fails abruptly. Vehicle accelerates abruptly when gears shift. Potential safety hazard if failure occurs in highway.
Automatic transmission failure.cars transmissions for 6 months has been shifting erratic, hard, surging, downshifting without notice at highway speeds, and slipping.car only has 13k of miles and now is in at the dealer for a new tranny.there are many reports of this failure and a few fatalities it seems.this issue needs to be resolved fast.i plan to ditch this car in the next 6 months because it just doesn't feel safe anymore to drive.even the replacement trannys are dieing.
I own a 2002 acura cl type s.since purchasing the car i have had nothing but trouble with the transmission.after only 12,000 miles, my transmission was replaced.after the replacement, the transmission still had problems and was slipping but my dealership told me that there were no issues with it when i knew that there definitely was.after going the winter with a slipping transmission, it's now summer and it is getting worst every day.i took the car to my dealership today and once again i'm faced with first a transmission flush then another replacement transmission.i feel acura, not the dealership, has shown that a great reputation can be dissolved quickly by poor customer service, slow reaction to problems, and not fixing a clear problem.acura has extended the warranties to 100k on their transmissions but this does me no good.this is a business car and i do not have time for the headache of taking my car in constantly for service.i bought my acura because of their reputation and because of owning a great honda automobile in the past.i will now never buy another honda/acura product and they have lost a good customer.*nlm

On 25 june 2002, dealer replaced transmission, no problems so far.the vehicle would not accelerate at times when stopped at a traffic light.the transmission would go out of gear.the new transmission has noise problems.the check engine light illuminated.consumer requests that the dealer repurchase the vehicle.*jg
The transmission downshifted by itself to a lower gear,causing the vehicle to decelerate in a dangrous manner. Soon or later someone is going to get killed if this problem is not corrected.
Driving on the dan ryan expressway into the city of chicago, i experienced a sudden and non-provoked downshift in my 2002 acura cl type s transmission.i was traveling approximately 65 miles per hour when the transmission downshifted from 5th to 2nd gear.fortunately, no one plowed into the back of me, and the car was still drivable after this occurred.the car is now at the dealer, waiting for it's transmission to be replaced.i purchased the car in december 2001 and at drop-off at the dealer, the car only has 7998 miles on it.i don't care if i have a 7yr/100k warranty extension on the transmission, this type of failure is a safety hazard and something that need to be addressed by the acura.i am concerned about not only my safety, but also the safety of my wife.
Automatic transmission downshifted without warning, almost causing accidents

Car started free revving and erratically upshifting and downshifting with hard jerks.all malfunction indicators lit up.almost lost control on the freeway.was told transmission is shot on a car that is a bit over a year old and less than 000miles.poor service from dealer.
The motor mounts had become loose and transmissionhad blown up.tsscc
While driving at any speedtransmission slipped. The part was replaced three times, however the problem recurred.
Transmission problem: erratic shifting, hard downshifts, shifts from 5th gear into 2nd gear at high speed: close-to-death experience on the highway!! this has happened 3 months after the recall service was done concluding nothing wrong. From my research i have found that the recall - "band-aid fix" does not fix whats actually wrong with the transmission because it is a trick to make consumers think that the car is fine. The recall was put out but does not work!! this matter should be looked into properly and thuroughly again. I do not wish to injure or kill myself or others because my car is poorly designed. My car is out of warranty and will not be covered under recall since it was already provided. Furthermore, the symptoms of my problem are different than the recall symptoms. The honda motor co. Knows very well that all these symptoms are combined but does not want to recall the correct parts because it would cost too much and cover too many vehicles. Right now my choices are very limited but expensive: replace whole transmission with few other parts. Many consumers' transmissions fail multiple times so there is no permanent fix as the company claims with the recall service and i'm sure this is not the first complain. Please look into the problem again and make them issue a real solution to this problem or refer me somewhere that i could get help resolving this matter.
While driving the transmission light flashed on the dashboard then thedriver heard a loud poppingnoise from beneath the vehicle.the transmission down shifted on it's own.the driver took the vehicle to the dealer for analysis.the technician determined that the pinion shaft needed to be replaced.
2002 acura 3.2cl with defective transmissions.consumer states that her 1st transmission failed while driving 50 mph. Dealer informed her that they knew the transmissions were bad.the first time the transmission failed, it would not go into reverse. Now, it is 2 years later and the transmission is slipping. The dealer stated there was an internal failure.
2002 acura cl 3.2 type s transmission problem.i have about 24k miles and recently my transmission slipped.while going 30mph with the 3rd gear, if you accelerate so that the second gear kicks in, in kicks in very sharply, creating an unbearing jerk that is very obstrusive inside the cabin.honda should place a recall on this model.dealer was willing to replace it but i'm not sure if new transmission will be better than the old one.
2002 acura cl has had the transmission changed out 4 times; the car is ending it's warranty, and again the transmission is acting up.
I was on my way home from an out of town trip when the car started shifting extremely hard as i was driving.i called a local acura dealership, in augusta ga, and told them what was happening.they could not see me until the next day, which was 9/6/2002.i had to stop and get a hotel room in augusta and as i was going to the hotel the car got stuck in 5th gear.the next morning i drove the car, in 5th gear, to the local dealership so they could evaluate the car. They thought it was the transmission, which is covered under warranty, it was replaced and the car continues to get stuck.i was told, by the dealership, that it is now stuck in 2nd gear with the new transmission.i was also told they dont know what the problem is and they dont know how long they will have my car.acura claims that when something like this happens the owner of the vehicle will get a loaner car comparable to what they are driving.this is a false statement and false advertising. I am very dissatisfied with acura, the quality of its vehicles, and the false advertising about the loaner car.i have also read several other complaints, from 3.2 tl acura owners, of something similar happening after about a year of ownership.there is definitely some type of defect with their product and this issue needs to be addressed by acura.
Since the second day of having my car, my car has been continuously plagued with problems.i have taken my car in for repair over 10 times for various and sometimes repeating problems.this all has occurred within a three year period.i have never had a vehicle that has had so many problems.some of the problems have been so severe that i no longer feel safe driving my car.one of these problems was my transmission spontaneously downshifting from 5th gear to 2nd gear at highway speeds.this caused a tremendous decrease of speed.had someone been in back of me, i would have been seriously injured.the transmission was replaced, but it continues to act spontaneously.after making complaints directly to acura of america, i feel snubbed by them in that they have not sought to assist me other than warranty repairs.
Transmission failure car has only 45k on it.minor trans repair by prior owner under warranty.class action applied but past time limit. Acura offered 50% of repair cost not 100%. I believe time limit inappropriate.time does not damage trans.
Car spontaneously downshifts when not needed to and doesn't respond to the upshift.
The vehicle down shifted, which caused the transmission to slip.
Manual trans/clutch - looses hydraulic pressure in low air temps and when car is sitting on a hill. Hard to shift only in 1st into 2nd gear. There were very few acura 2002/2003 cl 3.2 type ss made, so even a couple complaints should warrant a review. I found numerous forums with owners complaining and asking for help from others on this problem. Ive driven manual trans cars and trucks for 22 yrs to include one honda that stil had the original clutch at 225k miles, so it is not a driver related problem. All the focus has been on the auto transmissions for this car...that failed. Acura has a problem that needs to be addressed before someone get seriously hurt, when they try to shift into second when crossing a busy street and cant. It has happened to me and i just got lucky.
The transmission in my acura cl-s locked up for approximately 2 seconds while traveling on the freeway.it locked up again while trying to move to the shoulder.the transmission was subsequently replaced.the replacement transmission failed approximately 800 miles later.i am now on my third, which is beginning to show signs of inevitable failure.

Rotors are warping prematurely. As a result, when applying brakes a grinding noise is produced. The dealer can't find the solution.
Steering became sluggish and very noisey in brand new vehicle.dealer stated that the seals in gearbox were defective thus allowing fluid to accumulate in gearbox and boots.dealer replaced component.
