2002 Acura TL review from North America
"Stay away"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the transmission changed at 30,000 miles under warranty. It is now at 129,000 and will now cost $4000 to 5000 to fix plus I'll have to rent a car for a week. Tough call whether to do or junk. It was very reliable otherwise. When first transmission was changed they changed the computer which cause my auto starter to need a new key and reprogramming. Would consider buying a new Acura if they backed this issue, but I think I will go for Lexus or BMW. Comments?
