NHTSA — Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Foundation Components: Master Cylinder Problems

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

Vehicle would accelerate due to gas & brake pedals too close when one or the other is in use. If foot not on brake pedal correctly it would unintentionally cause sudden acceleration in vehicle. Has happened twice. Took to dealership & mechanic could not find cause & indicated no mechanic problem. Master cylinder was replaced because of air found in the system.
