The transmission hesitates when going from 3rd to 2nd at 30 miles per hour.
The tires wear unusually fast.
The leather seats are already cracking.
I like the overall performance and comfort, but Honda made some serious mistakes on the transmission.
The Acura TL seems to have consistent transmission issues. Apparently there is a recall on 1999-2003 models. Not sure how Acura is taking care of customers with defective transmissions.
