We purchased this car and indicated that Acura/Honda has changed the transmission at 109,000 and we trusted Acura based on our experience with Honda Cars. To our surprise the transmission that Acura had replaced has failed again and after much negotiations through the dealer they have agreed to pay 33% of the cost and we are left with $2000 to pay. We have owned several Honda cars, but this Acura is the worst. Acura knows their transmissions suck and I am not sure why the government has not issued a recall. After doing Google search I would say STAY away from Acura TL.
Excellent Car Bad Transmission. I would not buy it even if Acura offered a life-time guarantee.
I experienced a similar situation. After several transmission replacements and several good faith efforts to resolve the issue with Acura, I consulted an attorney. It appears to be the only equitable avenue.
I am on my third transmission with my 2003 3.2 TL and I am not pleased. This transmission is not acting right either. It's a shame to pay that much for a car and have it drive like that.
The reason I have the third transmission, my husband and I were on a trip when the second transmission blew. Left us stranded on the interstate!! An Acura! I couldn't believe it! Although I love the car, I have lost confidence in it.
