Help I'm getting the run around with my 2002 3.2TL
Here's the skinny... I am the only owner of this car and am now on the 3rd transmission with this recall nonsense going on. Up until last week I was very happy with the car despite the tranny issues because the dealership really went above and beyond.
About a month ago I got a notice that the transmission was formally recalled so I called my dealership and was told that this did not apply to me now because I had already had the recall work done. So I went on my merry way. On Tuesday I am haulin' ass down Interstate 95 in Philadelphia when Bam - the tranny locks up. I hit my head on the steering wheel it was so violent. Lost control of the car and basically am lucky to be alive right now. So I drive the car in second gear to a dealership in Philly where I have been given nothing but a hard time ever since. They are telling me that they don't have to fix it, there is no recall and that I have two broken motor mounts that can not be attributed to the transmission going. So I contacted Acura corporate - the tranny is covered but they won't fix the motor mounts because they could have been broken for a long time. Now I am not stupid and drive my car for a living putting nearly 50,000 miles a year on it. I know those mounts were not broken. They broke from the bucking bronco act that the car went into when it went from 80mph to 20mph when the stupid car locked up. The dealership then tells me that they will give me the "employee discount rate" of $375 to fix the mounts too. The dealership is also telling me that there is no warranty on the replacement parts because my car has 127,000 miles on it. Can anyone offer me some advise?
