2000 Acura TL review from North America
"Acura TL electical nightmare!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is the worst; it has some weird electrical issue. It loses power when you drive it some times and the light on the dashboard comes on intermittently when it is losing power.
I always heard that Acura are good cars, but I will have to go back to the Nissan.
I took it to a mechanic, and since it is fine sometimes and only flashes and loses power, they cannot pinpoint the problem.
My friend who owns a small dealership has the same problem, and he is having the hardest time figuring it out. I see that many other people have the same problem with the electrical parts of TL.
Also, the SRS light will not go off. I need to fix this car I just bought it, and it is a piece. Does anyone know where the electrical problem is. Please email me, at insherah1437@yahoo.com
I will not buy another Acura... these cars have very hard problems to fix.
