If your vehicle is affected, Acura will contact you and schedule you an appointment to fix or replace your airbag...you don't give your car back to Acura.

Recall on my car?
I just called Honda and they said I was still under recall for my 2001 Acura 3.2TL because my car has a slight transmission problem. What does that mean? Does it mean they'll fix it for FREE, no charge at all costs?
admin answers:
Yes they will fix it for free.
Check www.totalrecallinfo.com to see if there are other recalls.
Take care.
Remedy:
ON VEHICLES WITH 15,000 MILES OR LESS, THE DEALER WILL UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A SIMPLE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE TO INCREASE LUBRICATION TO THE SECOND GEAR. ON VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 15,000 MILES, THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO IDENTIFY GEARS THAT HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING. IF DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED IF DISCOLORATION IS NOT PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL PERFORM THE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 21, 2004, FOR PILOT, ODYSSEY, AND MDX OWNERS. OWNERS OF THE ACCORD VEHICLES WILL START RECEIVING LETTERS ON JUNE 28, 2004, AND ON JUNE 29, 2004, FOR OWNERS OF THE TL AND CL VEHICLES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
Lisa asks…
Is it possible to trade in a lemon to a dealership?
I ask this question not b/c I am trying to be sneaky or grimey, but I am curious and this is why. I have a neighbor who is selling his 2000 Ford Focus. My wife spoke with him and he indicated he is leaving and selling a few of his cars. He is a mechanic if that matters. The car has 50,000 miles on it. Clutch and breaks just replaced along with a pump {not sure which one}. This will be my first car {if i purchase it} and I have been doing a lot of searches for used cars. I am only interested in Acura, Honda, Nissan or Toyota because of reliability.
The reviews for the 2000 Focus on Edmunds.com were horrible. From recalls, to untimely repairs, and keys sticking in the ignition it was just crazy. Anyway knowing that he is a mechanic I am still going to have it inspecting by a mechanic of my choice. My question however is if I purchase it and it is just too costly to keep b/c of repairs, and I decide to trade in or sell to a dealership will they accept it with all the issues these cars have? Or will they decline? By the way he is selling for $2,200. KBB is $3-$4.5k i think. Some dealers are selling these for $5.5-$7.5k.
admin answers:
Certainly, a dealer will take it in on trade. They'll do their own inspecting once it's taken in, and will probably wholesale it off to another dealer, anyway (it'll probably end up on a "buy-here, pay-here" lot). If you do trade it, I wouldn't expect much in resale value on the car.
If it was legally determined to be a "lemon", you wouldn't have it, anyway as the manufacturer would've already taken it back.
Advice? Skip this car. You already KNOW it has issues, and you're taking a huge risk purchasing it. The 2000 Focus models were the first model year, and they had many issues, as you've read. He's selling it on-the-cheap as he knows it's trouble.
Donald asks…
Acura extended warranty.?
I bought a 2003 Acura TL last summer from the original owner. One year later the transmission seems to being going out. The original owner said that there was a recall on the transmission and she had it replaced under warranty. I did some research online and found out the Honda had extended the warranty to 100K miles for our car model for the transmission.
My question is this, does the original warranty go with the original owner or the car? Also, if she had already replaced the faulty transmission under the original warranty will it cover again if still bad?
*Car had 70K miles when I bought and now it has just over 90K.
