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.

I own a 2002 Acura TL type S with only 80,000 miles on it. The drivers seat has become loose from the mounts and rocks like it loose from the supports. I have looked at the frame of the seat and it appears the welded frame has come loose on one of the corners. I have some experience as a welder and can see that the welded area was not very good causing it to separate...
