2003 Acura TL 3.2 review from North America
"Not looking so good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just got a call from the Acura dealer saying the P0740 code came up in on my car's computer. I bought this car used from the same dealer less than 16 months ago and have driven less than 16k miles. I was not aware of the transmission problems at the time and am wondering what recourse I have. They obviously knew of the recall and supposedly checked this car during the recall. The car is experiencing all of the problems (not switching gears, stalling, etc) that other buyers have seen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
General comments?
Until now this was a great car. I just had the 60,000 mile tune-up (at 56,000 miles) I am very concerned with the P0740 code.
