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 heater no longer pushes hot air. It can hardly melt the ice off the windshield in the cold snowy days here in Iowa. Moreover, if the windshield is warm and I start driving while it is snowing, the snow will start melting on the windshield and the heater will not be powerful enough to melt it. That creates an icy windshield that makes it hard to see. I am pretty sure that replacing or flushing the heating radiator will fix the issue, but both options are very difficult to do for myself and mechanic is asking for too much money.
