2003 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"Transmission issue diminishes the luster of this model and Acura"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the so called extended warranty runs out, Acura will really make their money replacing faulty transmissions with new faulty transmissions. Replace a transmission with another that has a design flaw. A great way for Acura to reap profits, not quantifying the disappointment and lack of repurchase from future customers.
General comments?
A safety issue should be a concern of Acura.
