2003 Acura TL 3.2 review from North America
"Unreliable and built with inferior parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission first failed at 60K miles. I was not aware of Acura's massive transmission recall on 01,02 and 03 models or would never have purchased this used car.
The transmission was rebuilt two months ago and it failed again last week and is in the shop for repairs again.
General comments?
Very unreliable and am having mechanical issues that a car should not have at under 60K miles.
I will never buy another Acura or Honda product again.
