Least favorite feature: |
ULEV Transmission |
Advice to buyer: |
Beware of the TRANSMISSION! |
Detailed review: |
It took nearly a year and a half (and 20,000 miles) to convince the Dealer that the transmission was not showing normal ULEV characteristics. Their fix? Replace it with a remanufactured transmission! We have gone to Arbitration for a Lemon Law Case and should know soon whether they will get their junker back. We had excellent experiences with 3 other Hondas & 'upgraded' to Acura, only to regret it. Acura has handled our situation horribly - both at the Dealer & Manufacturer levels.
Also had problems with rattles/squeaks, airbag fading, exterior door de-laminating, engine stalling, and 'new' remanufactured tranny showing the same early symptoms as the original. What's happened to Honda quality?? Did we just get a bad one? If anyone has experienced anything similar, please e-mail me. |
Also considered: |
2000 Honda Accord
2000 Acura 3.0CL
