2000 Acura TL 3.2 with 3 transmission replacements since purchase. Acura has admitted they do not understand wy the failures continue and that is why the have extended the warantee to 100,000 miles. Problems still exist due to them replacing transmissions every 30,000 miles or so. Now, at 119,000 miles, transmission problems are resurfacing again. May other Honda made products such as Odyssey, MDX, have already been recalled for same problems. These vehicles use the same transmissions as the TL's in question.

The transmission needs replacement on my 2000 Acura TL at 93000 miles. Fortunately, Acura extended the warranty to 100000 miles, but from what I've read, the replacement transmissions are no better and the transmission can go out at any time, causing the car to be completely unsafe. Honda has issued a recall on other models using the same transmission, but not the TL. I think this is gross negligence and is putting the public in danger.

I was driving around 70 mph on the highway in my 2000 Acura 3.2tl when the car suddenly down shifted from 5th gear to 2nd. It sent passengers and cargo flying forward and I almost lost control of the vehicle. I regained control of the car and coasted to the shoulder of the road. I found a trail of transmission fluid behind and under the car. After that, the car would not go over2500 rpms and the check engine and tcs lights lit up. Up until this point of failure, there were no warning signs.

I purchased this vehicle as new in April 2000. In November 2001, the transmission failed, and I was thrown forward at a high rate of speed as though rear-ended. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt transmission at the dealer in temecula, California, and covered under recall or warranty (I think it was warranty, and that the recall was made after the fact.) well, now it has been a little over 2 years, and the same thing has happened again. While traveling on an interstate, my transmission failed, throwing me forward, and rapidly decelerating the vehicle. I was quite fortunate to have not been rear-ended! my neck and back hurt, and my dealer has charged me nearly $6000 for the repairs. A failure of this sort must be investigated before people are injured or killed.

Transmission in 2000 3.2 TL is very dangerous. Going 65 mph and dropped to 2nd gear and transmission is gone. It seems there is a ton of people out there with this problem. Car is not under warraty and they wont sell the parts to fix it B/C they can't make enough for Acura to replace eveyone elses. They now want $6000 to fix. They can't make enough parts to supply for themselves? seems like a bunch of problems. Please recall transmission on 2000 Acura TL before people get hurt.

'00 Acura TL, car transmission failure.

- Hollywood, FL, USA

My 2000 Acura TL is on it's 3rd transmission. The last one started slipping, then downshifted while I was on the freeway and I almost lost control of the car.

- Laguna Niguel, CA, USA

My transmission failed at approximately 92,000 miles. This seems to be a common event for Acura TL owners. The car slipped out of gear on the road and I was forced to coast the car off to the side of the road. Luckily, my transmission did not lock up as others have experienced, but the problem with these vehicles is more prevalent than the NHTSA may be aware. Just do a search at any of the various Acura owners' websites and you will see instances of up to 5 replaced transmissions on individual cars.

- Kennesaw, GA, USA

Faulty transmission on my 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. Grinding sound. Car surges when stopped. Stalls out when stopped. Makes vibrating noise upon acceleration. Down shifts by itself. Sounds like their is a broken part moving around inside the transmission.

- Lilburn, GA, USA

While driving on city streets, the traffic in front of the consumer came to a stop, when the consumer applied the brakes the vehicle did not shift to a lower gear and the vehicle finally fish tailed to a stop.

- Glendale, CA, USA

The transmission in my 2000 Acura TL is potentially affected. I would hate to have my transmission lock up the front wheels while traveling 70 mph on the interstate.

- Racine, LA, USA

While driving, the vehicle's transmission down shifted without warning causing the vehicle to come to a rapid stop. The dealer diagnosed a transmission problem and performed maintenance.

Between 20 and 40 miles per hour the transmission started to slip at about 40,000 miles. I took it into the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem on call. They told me to replace the transmission fluid. This seemed to make the problem better for a while. Finally it got worse and worse. At 69,000 miles I took the car into a different dealer. They will replace the transmission with a re-manufactured one from Acura.

- Santa Cruz, CA, USA

On my 2000 Acura 3.2tl is slipping at 2nd to 3rd gear. This occurs only at low speeds. The transmisson has no failures at any other speeds or gears.

- Orlando, FL, USA

We have been experiencing transmission problems since 15,000 miles and have taken the vehicle into the dealership a number of times to fix the problem, only to hear they could not duplicate the problem. The hesitation or slipping when stepping on the gas, has gotten so bad, we are afraid to jump out in traffic. On two occasions the transmission has locked up in second gear causing us to pull over, put it in park prior to proceeding. A fair amount of internet research has revealed the a large number of TL & cl owners have experienced transmission failures. This is not acceptable for a $32, 000 car.
