Re: transmittion slipping in 03 acura tl [dwdraw2]
Actually, the transmissions problems began with the introduction of a new 5-speed automatic in the 2000 model year. The '99 had the older, proven 4-speed, which was generally reliable. Yours happened to fail prematurely, which is unfortunate, but one example doesn't prove the rule.

Only problem with Acura is lack of focus/marketing
We recently replaced my wife's 2000 TL with a 2012 TL. Actually, while the 2000 served us flawlessly for 12 years we were not really considering another one since there was so much noise being made by the competition like Lexus and Genesis. Still, after driving those we decided to also test drive the TL. Boy, what a wake-up call. It was so much sportier and BMW-like in its drive that ... Read More

Re: 2012 Acura TL base model lease with trade-in [dp007]
Doesn't look like a lot of miles on the Honda, why $2000 in the red? Dealer trade-in is $15.5K. Dealer retail is about $18K. Try aiming somewhere in the middle.

Re: Displacement replacements and other thoughts. . . [sweendogy]
While I agree Acura should "advance" I feel they do not need to completely change to awd. They did very well in the 90 and 2000s with a front wheel drive setup. The biggest mistake is they lost its passion and have made the car more Buick then BMW. The dropped the low cost integra that got the youth in the door. They made the tsx bloated and its best car ...

Re: 2012 TL SH-AWD [drive4show]

Re: New 3 series [sweendogy]

I say this all the time, back in 2000 when I graduated college, I ... Read More

2012 Update
My wife and I had settled on getting a new TL to replace our 2000 (other cars being considered were Genesis, Lexus ES, Honda Crosstour). We much preferred the drive of the TL versus the Genesis and Lexus and the Crosstour was really something we did not need at this point of our lives). The only problem was that we fell in love with the Mayan Bronze with Parchment interior. We ... Read More

Re: transmittion slipping in 03 acura tl [chelseafan]
Acura did extend their warranty to 100k on their lousy transmissions several years ago I also had a transmission go out on my 2000 TL last year.

Re: transmittion slipping in 03 acura tl [hpmctorque]
My 2000 TL's transmission just went out at 83,000mi. Even with the extended warrenty offered on this model year, Acura refused my request for ANY good faith assistance in replacement costs (due to age of vehicle). Frustrating to say the least, considering I'm the original owner and have purchased 4 Honda/Acura cars over the last 20+ years.

Re: 2000 Acura 3.2TL Transmission Problem [jmoney89]
I'm sorry I can't give you good advice on your first and third questions. Regarding your second question, however, the transmission in the 2000 Accord is different from the one in the 2000 Acura TL. The Accord had the old time tested 4-speed automatic, while the TL featured a new 5-speed. The latter was problematic through about '03, with many owners experiencing the symptoms you described. You didn't mention the mileage ... Read More

I bought a 2007 TL and I also noticed power steering issues from day one. In my case the issue is at idle, which makes parking a 2 hand job at times. I did some investigation by comparing it to my friend's 2006 TL and to other 2007 TLs at the dealership, and by talking to the maintenance team at Sunnyvale Acura. The 2006 model felt normal.

Potential second-time buyer in SoCal
I am back to this forum again (after a number of years) since swmbo is hankering to replace her 2000 TL. I had used this and other forums the first time around back in 1999 to research before buying our first TL. At the time these were clearly the best bang-for-the-buck for someone considering a Lexus ES. However, pricing was largely non-negotiable as they were the hot ticket and already competitively ...

Re: transmittion slipping in 03 acura tl [owenpga]
The transmission problems began with the 2000 model year, when Acura went from a 4-speed to a new 5-speed automatic. How many miles are on your car? I ask because Honda/Acura extended the warranty for your transmission to 100,000 miles for those model years. I don't know if there's a time limit, but if there is maybe your Acura dealer would give you a pricing concession to repair or replace it. ... Read More

So, do I offer $37,395 (Invoice - $2000 + $500) as a starting point? Also, if my math is correct the .00153 money factor = 3.672% interest (money factor X 2400) which seems a bit high.

Had to have it towed and the transmission replaced. Your symptoms sound a bit different, however, since it fixes the problem itself when you restart. Can only suggest you return it to the servicing dealer to check for an electrical switching/ solenoid problem ... Read More

I sold the car to a salvage yard and let the national Acura customer service dept know how dissappointed I was. A few days later I wrote to them ... Read More

I almost committed to a deal, but now am a bit turned off. I have an out the door price of 39346.80 from Springfield and 39171.43 from Open Road Acura of Wayne.

TL Deals
With the state of the economy, I'm holding out to pay no more than invoice price minus the $2000 rebate (front-wheel drive or SH-AWD TECH) and including the destination charge and the 3.9% financing for 5 years. To me, there's no reason to pay a penny more than that since I have the ability to wait a few months, if needed. Example 1: NEW 2009 Acura TL w/TECH (Front-Wheel Drive) Sticker ... Read More

Re: 2009 TL AWD without Tech
I am negotiating now. I was told that there is a $2000 rebate. It is in the form of a rebate back to the dealer, but he used that as a way to get me to a price of $35,445 for the above car with splash guards and wheel locks. This was Springfield Acura in NJ.

I am not an aggressive driver however most of my trips are short ... Read More

sup (zin0)
Relax, it seems to me you bought yourself a nice car, not a nightmare. Let us know what the Acura dealer says. Let's assume the worst, and the transmission fails. Acura has extended the warranty on the transmissions on the 2000 - 2003 model years to 100,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first. Therefore, the bottom line is that your car is still covered and will be for a while ... Read More

2002 Acura TL-S (kingkhalas)
The new-for-2000 5-speed automatic was indeed problematic, but the good news is that Acura stepped up to the plate and replaced those that went bad under warranty. From what I know, the automatic transmission on the next generation TL ('04-'08) was reliable. My wife's '99 has the older 4-speed automatic, which, at 115,000 miles, has been trouble free. We also replaced the motor mounts, though, at about the same mileage as ... Read More

2002 Acura TL-S
I've got about 90K miles on my acura. I've had to replace the transmission twice (covered under warranty) and have also had a similar problem with a 2000 Honda Odyssey. I think Honda/Acura made some poor transmissions for these cars. Also recently had to replace the engine mounts ($$$) which I was told by a few acura places is a common problem. Overall, it's been a pretty good car, but the ... Read More

Re: Acura TL: Lease Questions [privatepilot83]
Hi privatepilot83: I need your help in figuring out a lease program for a 2009 TL AWD with navigation, which comes out early November.

Cash rebate and Special financing on 2008 TL is aparantly availalble

2008 is Great
I purchased my 2008TL at the end of March and it has been a great car! I was hesitant at the time to wait for the 2009 to hit the streets, and knowing that the body style was changing sort of made me double think the car while I was shopping around. I was really close to buying the top of the line Honda Accord, but the truth is that the ... Read More

Re: Pictures [sbtatter]
Thanks for posting those pictures. What have Acura done with that big, flashy, ugly chrome beak of a front grill? Isn't that the ugliest, "look at me" monstrosity you've ever seen on a car?

Why couldn't Honda/Acura simply have evolved the TL as Porsche has ... Read More

Re: Current Acura TL Offers [kcs76]
That is really no different then any other manufacturer, most of them have the same caveat. Acura is different in some respects, you can get the cash when leasing. Infiniti is running $2000 dealer cash right now, but you cannot get it on leases.

Re: 2000 Acura TL A/C Issues? [asully1979]
I'd also check the radiator mounted electric fans to be sure they are operating to move cooling air through the radiator and A/C coils while the car is not moving. When you first start your car in the morning (before it warms) immediately turn on the A/C and be sure the electric fan motors ( I think there are 2 of them on that year) are running. If not, that will ... Read More

Re: 2000 Acura TL A/C Issues? [asully1979]
It sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere either in the vacuum reservoir that is not holding vacuum (could be something a simple as a vacuum check valve but quite often the check valve is part of the vacuum reservoir tank and not individually replaceable), a broken/leaky vaccum line or a leaking vacuum motor that works the actuator arm that opens and closes the air duct door to the heater core (when ...
