My guess is that since that article came out, alot of car owners are probably bringing in their cars to the dealership for potential bad trannys and the dealerships probably did find alot of bad trannys, hence, the back order.

I appreciate your looking into the back-order fiasco. I'm not sure if anyone out there knows any of the specifics of the tranny problem. As I was driving, my check engine, VSA light and the explination point light all went on and stayed on. Is this normal??!?!?

Ok there is no national back order. Sometimes they may be short on transmissions as they are rebuilt units. Yes sometimes it may take 2-3 weeks, but ACURA takes care of its car better than any other maker out there. It also shows they are willing to take care of us becuase of the voluntary extending of warranties. I think this shows that even if you have a transmission issue, You have nothing to worry about as it will get repaired for free. Keep in mind you should not ignore your transmission by never gettting it serviced.

Just a little update on my issue. Somehow, they managed to get a tranny yesterday and had my car done this morning. I guess if they want to, they can do this A.S.A.P. The service department at my dealer was awesome to deal with. Thanks for all your responses.

1.6% shouldn't get the average driver worried, but it does mean that thousands of cars could potentially be affected.
