Warranty problem
2003 Acura TL 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 127000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have had my transmission worked on four times by the same transmission shop over the course of the last 9 months and I just got it back from the shop. I have put about 30 miles on it since I got it back and it has already started to break down again. They have been helpful at the shop and have admitted fault on previous work done, but I cannot keep running back and forth to the shop every couple of months. The shop's warranty on the transmission is for one year. I would just like to have a working transmission(FYI-I drive a 2003 Acura TL Type S). My question is, at what point do I have a legitimate claim to ask for my money back so I can take it to someone who can fix it? Thanks!

Not sure if you were aware but in apr 15,2004 acura had a recall on all automatic transmissions for the 3.2tl, I would check with the dealership to see if still cover under factory warranty. a link to see is

just cut and past on your brower! Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately my tranny went down after the warrantied mileage.

Depending on which state you live in, I would check out what the lemon laws you have and since you have been trying to repair 4 times, you may have a strong case,but i would advise to consult a lawyer.
