2004 Acura TL review from North America
"Lacks the quality I would expect for the price point"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Torque converter needs to be replaced at 68k.
General comments?
Very disappointed that for years Acura hasn't seemed to fix their transmission problems. It looks like for years earlier than mine, they upped the transmission warranty to 100k because of a lawsuit, and the year after mine they changed it to 70k. I guess that is what I get for buying the first new model year, as they haven't figured out they still have the same issues they had for the last model.
Someone mentioned they finally got the transmission fixed on the 04 model. Wrong. My old Pontiac I had when I was a teenager lasted longer than this car!
