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.

Yes my 1999 Acura 3.2 TL has the tcs light staying on in the vehicle I went and had it plugged into a code checker and the read out was that the wheel speed sensor was bad but before that I was driving down the road( this is just one of 5 experiences I know of) when my car just died and it didn't want to crank back. It had never happened to me before I then began reading the owners manual and had to manually reset the cars computer ( I guess is what it is called) by pushing the shift lock in manually and pulling the car down into neutral and waiting about 5-15 seconds and placing it back up into park if the D4 indicator did not light up I then had to pull it back down into neutral while pressing the shift lock switch and then place it into D4 and back up into park most of the time it would reset its self and I could crank it in neutral but sometimes it would take me 2-3 minutes and now it seems to be getting longer and longer before it will reset itself this last time it took me approximately 10-15 minutes to reset the switch to were I could turn the ignition and the car would turn over and crank.
