2002 Acura RL review from North America
"Rip Off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two times I have had the transmission replaced. I never had this problem with my previous Integra - maybe because it had a manual transmission. The third one does not shift and the dealership where I bought the car is not helping. Even a Kia or Hyundai does not have problems this excessive.
General comments?
Should have bought a Kia or Hyundai for 1/3rd the price, having a better warranty, greater dealership service and no history of transmission issues to the extent Acura has.
