2001 ACURA 3.2TL User Comment / Complaint

I am writing to you to get some assistance on the problem i am having with honda/acura of usa. according class action settlement case no: rg 03099677, acura settled with all claimants to provide an extended warranty on transmissions on all class vehicles up to 109,000 miles. i own an acura tl 2001 . my car currently has 103k miles on it. i am perhaps the second or third owner of this vehicle. i recently experienced transmission problems related to the car's manufactured defect, namely with the faulty transmission. here is the nhtsa recall# and report below on the recall. nhtsa campaign id number : 04v176000 mfr's report date : apr 13, 2004 component: power train:automatic transmission potential number of units affected : 1099796 i got in touch with a local acura client services and took it to a local dealer. they looked at the car and the next day informed me that the extended warranty would not be covered since the car had been fixed previously at a repair shop and not by acura. according to their own records, my car has had the transmission fixed by acura in 2004. they refused to fix it despite the class action settlement that they agreed to in december of 2006. according to the independent repair shop i took my car to, the car had an original replaced transmission in it and not an aftermarket part. even by acura's own records, this car had the transmission replaced in 2004 at one of their dealerships and this is the transmission that failed. based on the lawsuit settlement therefore, they are responsible for fixing this transmission again since it is still under the extended warranty. the refused to assist me and i had no choice to get the car fixed by a local repair shop. i paid $2,292.47 to a local repair shop to get my car fixed that acura should have fixed under wrty.
