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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
High beams reflect light to vertical objects at the side of the road, such as trees, structure, etc, causing distracting flashes of light, and momentary diversion of driver's attention. Low beams do now seem to go out far enough to give a good view of the darkened road without using high beams. The headlights on 2001 and earlier models were excellent and did/do not present the same problems. I do not know of headlights used on 2002 models were the same as mine. Dealer states problems not correctable in that lights operate as designed by manufacturer. There was a rattle in the front seat belt housing, the center console was hard to open, and the sill plate was loose.
