I think he's bringing it in today, looks like about a week till he gets the car back. With the new internals are they still likely to fail again? I reccomended that he just sell the car and get something else.

Got an update, dad brought the car in to Cerritos, Acura. They ran some tests and opened up his tranny. The fluid was still clear and no discoloration on the gears. Service manager said it's early stages and knew that it'd just get worse so basically they kept the car and drove it till something broke.

Now they're giving him a rebuilt tranny and it should take about a week.

That's a dangerous thing for something like that to happen, can be just as dangerous as a tire blowing out. Could Acura be the next Ford Exploder?

Bah my old tranny used to stick in second sometimes. Boo hoo, all I had to do was slow down, shift it into 2, then shift it up to D4 again and it'd upshift.

translation to English:

I just bought a 2000 TL, 5 months ago. the car has 60k on it. After 20k, i had the check engine light come on twice. The dealer looked at it but couldn't find a problem. Now the SRS light is on constantly. Could it be an electrical problem? Can anybody explain, maybe a similar situation?
