2002 Acura TL review from North America
"Too bad Acura will not stand behind their product - tranny: ("
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I heard others complain about the 2002 TL transmission problem, but I never had any problems. Then at 50,000 miles mine went out and with no real warning. The dealer replaced it at no charge.
General comments?
Based on my experience and tales I have heard from others - - my confidence is shaken in Acura. I was thinking of trading my 2002 for a new TL, but am rethinking that now and will likely replace my 2002 TL with a Lexus or an Infiniti. Too bad for Acura because they generally have good products, but if they don't stand behind their products completely with good service and follow up on identified problems, then I don't have much use for them.
