2005 Acura TL review from North America
"Until this happened - I loved it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At approximately 3650 miles the transmission would not go into reverse. I had it towed to the local dealer who sold me the car. They had it for a week and could not duplicate the problem.
The factory recommended replacement of a couple of solenoid valves, so the dealer did so and I picked up the car on May 31.
The very next day the exact same problem happened.
The car is now back at the dealer - and they are now saying that they once again cannot duplicate the problem and want to replace the transmission.
I told them I do not want the car back, and have filed a case with American Honda - who have yet to call me back to discuss this matter.
I will post the results for all to see.
General comments?
I am extremely unimpressed with American Honda's lack of any sense of urgency.
Apparently once you experience problems such as this you become an adversary instead of a customer.
If our company treated its customers like this we would be out of business in about 2 months.
