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.
Subframe rusted out. $2600 to repair. Garage kept vehicle. Understand there have been similar complaints and the root cause is known. Unbelievable that such a big, supposedly reputable manufacturer, cannot accept responsibility for a known design flaw. Last Acura or Honda I ever purchase.
