CarComplaints.com Notes: The 1999-2003 Acura TL has a known & widespread defect with the transmission.

Honda fixed some vehicles with a recall in 2004 by changing the oil cooler return line. To settle a class action lawsuit in 2006, Honda extended the transmission warranty on some of these Acura TL's to 93 months / 109,000 miles.

Now these vehicles are past the warranty limit, so buyer beware.

The sub frame assy is rusted through on the passenger side this subframe supports the engine and trans axle assy. This is a defect the subframes are rusting on Honda and Acura cars... same as Hyundai did and those were all recalled. This is the same defect and needs a national recall for repairs asap before somebody gets killed.
