2002 Acura TL review from North America
"Time to sell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After many years of good service the transmission began to buck and slam. I have less than 77000 miles on the car. My mechanic felt the cost of a new transmission was not a good investment. Everyone felt it was a waste of time to talk to the dealership. I decided to go anyway and guess what - it is covered under an extended (little known- not on the Internet) warranty! Because the poorly designed transmission is being replaced by another poorly built transmission all this does actually is buy me time and give me back some value to my present car. Will buy a new car within the next year.
