2002 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"This car has been very reliable and will keep it for a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission needed replacement at 75,000 miles. I now have 91,000 miles and the trans fluid is darker than normal. I brought it in to the dealer and they are going to replace the transmission again, along with a new computer. The service manager, at the Acura dealership in Westmont, IL, said the problems which have accured with the transmissions is actually caused by a bad computer. They will be replacing both my trans and computer this time, while still under my extended warranty.
General comments?
The performance of this car has been remarkable.
It has been very reliable with the exeption of the trans problem, which was replaced under warranty.
