2003 Acura TL review from North America
"Lousy Deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission pump installation
Transmission Failure at 28000 miles
Transmission Failure at 39000 miles.
General comments?
Absolute waste of money, Honda needs to get it's act together rather than haste into the luxury segment. maybe if they can't get reliable automatic transmission, better keep building gas sippers.
