Default Finally got the call back from Acura...

A couple weeks ago I posted about my tranny going on me and it being at Acura. I was 3 months out of warantee and pissed because it was rebuilt by Acura about 4 months prior. So I bitched and bitched and the guy said he will see what he can do.
Got the call today and Acura is going to put a Brand new tranny, new flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and starter on for free. Also, they are giving me a car till it is all done. Just wanted to say how pleased I am with acura, being I am out of Warantee. They kept a customer that was going to switch.

Anyway, I guess there is no point the the thread accept Acura is a great company.

Ive worked for Acura for 8 years and not once have they ever told us to "re-build" a tranny. Just replace them. Why was yours re-built to start with?

Metro Acura in Montclair is an awesome place too. They replaced my tranny case/clutch/synchros/pressure plate and flywheel on my R with no questions asked. !

Wheres the picture of the keyboard and the caps lock button.

Glad to hear that they are fixing it for free. You seem to be one of the lucky ones.

THEY REBUILT MINE, BUT MINE WAS IN THERE FOR MONTHS AND THEY HAD ME IN A RENT CAR AND IT WOULD OF BEEN A FEW MORE MONTHS TILL THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED OFF OF BACKORDER. I'M SURE THEY WERE LOOSING THEIR ***, BUT THEY FINALLY GET A FROM ME FOR TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY HAVE BEEN RELEASED OFF OF BACKORDER YET???

I thought there was a caps-lock filter on H-T?

I the stories I hear on H-T about Acura keeping your car for months for tranny work scared me. But when it came time to rebuild my tranny, the local Acura dealer had it done in 2 days; brought it in Wednesday morning, picked it up Thursday afternoon.

IT ONLY SEEMS TO DO IT WHEN YOU TRY AND POST A NEW TOPIC.

But on to topic, Acura seems to have its good blood and bad blood. I've heard of some bastard *** dealerships, and then I've heard stories like yours.

to Acura

to bastards

Yeah, like someone said up top, the first time they had my car for a month. Then they said it would be 6 months till they get a new tranny and they were paying for my rental. Thats why they rebuilt it. I am very pleased with Acuras service right now

How long is the wait on a new tranny. My understanding is there is no ETA.

I wish my initial experience with Acura Customer Support had been as good when i was having clutch problems a couple of months ago. The first dealership I went to was no help and Acura Customer Support didn't even want to create a case for me. The only good sugestion I got out of them was to try another dealership, which I did and what a difference. They took care of everything under warranty. Basically if I hadn't found a good dealer like Mike Harvey in Burlingame, I'd probably be out a bunch of money.
