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.

FLUSH!!!!!!!!!!!! that's the sound of the value of my car going down the toilet when it only has 58 k miles on it and now a branded title because the odometer quit. odometer stopped registering miles at exactly 58k. Had the Dealer repair it for $900 and that shows on the Carfax report and I am now forced to mark NOT ACTUAL MILES on the Bill of Sale when I sell the car.
