NHTSA — Power Train: Driveline: Constant Velocity Joint Problems

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

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.

Acura lacks in customer support for warranty claims. Acura chooses not to repair faulty front wheel bearings under warranty because owner has replaced stock wheel with custom after market wheels even though wheels meet oem specifications. No physical or technical data supports Acura's reason for claim denial.
