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.

The headlights are so bright that they blind other drivers when on the road and come over a hill. This is increasing the owner's chance of an accident because the other drivers are not able to view the road, and could cause a head on collision between two vehicles. Manufacturer has been informed by the consumer.
