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.

There were no special events leading up to failure, the rear view mirror in my Acura 99 TL started leaking fluid and no longer works as it should. The liquid could be hazardous and the mirrors no longer up to the same standard as when the vehicle was released. Acura is unwilling to replace the mirror free of charge, in fact they are charging exorbitantly for it. Magna donnelly the manufacturer of the mirror was replacing these to affected consumers but was instructed by Acura/Honda to stop - incredible they can do such a thing given their product stopped working and just want to charge more money to customers.
