My transmission failed after only 4 weeks I purchase the car. My car's vin no. is not on the recall list so I'm on my own. Getting a remanufactured transmission. Will get rid of the car soon.
The car is fast, but expect the transmission to fail.
The VIN number is not an issue. If you have had multiple repairs, you may be protected under lemon laws. I had the same problem with my Acura and turned it in and received a repurchase check, after 5 transmissions & multiple attempted repairs. One of the replaced transmissions only lasted 1 day.
If you own a TL and have had transmission issues, most likely you can prevail in a lemon law suit. If you are experiencing the standard run around from Acura service, call a lemon law attorney immediately. Most likely you will have a case due to the nature of the recall and Acura's inability to resolve the defect.
