CarComplaints.com Notes: The 1999-2003 Acura TL has a known & widespread defect with the transmission.
Honda fixed some vehicles with a recall in 2004 by changing the oil cooler return line. To settle a class action lawsuit in 2006, Honda extended the transmission warranty on some of these Acura TL's to 93 months / 109,000 miles.
Now these vehicles are past the warranty limit, so buyer beware.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

Was driving when panel lights started to blink off/on. Then vehicle shut down on its own. Took to dealership 3 times. Had ignition lock, relay & harness switch replaced. Problem keeps coming back.
Consumer states the instrument panel lcd's are of a poor design, they are unreadable in the daylight because of the sun, this causes the consumer to take eyes off the road while trying to read the displays.
