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.

Honda Motors refuses to purchase the car back or the loan and will not work to equitable solution. They have closed the case and left me with no options. ****dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis****761437
