“Tranmission failures: 2003 Acura CL. 1st incident was at 3,000 miles. Car stalled and was acting up on a very busy freeway in ca (405 freeway). I wasn't in a familiar area when I pulled over. Acura roadside assistance said to drive to the nearest dealership when I didn't even know where one was. It was dangerous but I ended up making it to dealership. Replaced transmission and some other fluids after 1 week of being in the shop. 2nd incident was at 25k miles and not even 2 yrs old. Car was pulling I slowed down and had a blow out on another freeway. It is in the shop as we speak. …”
