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.
At varying times, when accelerating at a slow speed it feels like the engine is missing, passenger can feel it shaking. Speeding up makes it stop. Fuel injector cleaner helps for a few tanks of gas for a while, that no longer helps. This only happens at lower speeds when slowly accelerating. Any suggestions?
