Bad Transmission by Darius Erby

2001 Acura TL 3.2 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

I love this vehicle, but the only issue I have with this vehicle is that it has transmission issues. I knew that the Acuras and Hondas from year 98 to 04 had transmission issues, but they extended the warrany out to 100000 miles. My trans went out at 90000 miles. It had 50000 on it when I bought it. I bought it in Atlanta. My trans went out on me in the mountains in Tennessee. I was frightened because my rpm's just started going crazy, I was driving about 70 mph and then my car just stopped accelerating and it started rolling backwards down the mountain, as it was rolling back I was able to roll into the emergency lane, and I almost got hit by a few 18 wheelers.

The Acura TL is a basically a Honda Accord with more fit and trim. If that's okay with you, then you'll love this car. Personally, I think the car looks girly. I have it in white, and I'm not a huge fan of the design. I've seen it in blue and black and it looks much better. -Transmission was replaced at 56K miles. -The 3.2L is a reliable engine that has plenty of pep and a surprising amount of power down low. It won't exactly blow your hair back, but it's a quick car if/when it has to be. As per gas mileage, it's not that impressive. Edmund's says 20pmg, and they're pretty much dead on. For a V6, it isn't exactly a gas sipper.

I used to LOVE my TL until I had 4 transmissions for the car before 40,000 miles. The last time it was in the shop (8/2004) they told me come pick it up it runs beautifully. Tried to start it the next day and now the starter is out. Don't buy TL.

xI have owned this car since it was new, purchased September 2000. I had the transmission replaced at about 34,000 miles by Acura at no extra charge. Since then, I've had no issues with the transmission and mileage currently stands at 153,000 miles. The car still drives and runs beautifully. It is serviced regularly by an Acura dealership and I love their service. For a twelve years old, people who don't know too much about cars think it is just a 3 or 4 years old. Last month, I had the oil changed along with a tire rotation. When I was about to get in my car and leave after the work was done, the mechanic who did the work came outside and offered me $6500 for it! I couldn't believe it.
4 Transmissions in 4 years?

We bough the TL used from the dealer - other than the tranmissions we haven't had a lick of trouble, but 4 tranny's now in a 4 year old car with 67k miles? Acura had done the right thing by us each time - no complaints there - the warrenty has been extended on the transmission to 7 years, 100k miles, but I do not feel like I can trust this car. The service advisor tells me there are spot problem with TL transmissions that were taken care of starting in 2004. I love the car other than this and woudl buy Acura again, but just not a TL built before 2004.
Acura quality? Not in this car.

It's not a secret that Acura installed defective transmissions that blow anywhere from 50K to 100K miles. But we've had acid (yes, acid) leak from the electronic rear view mirror onto the shifter, melting the plastic overnight. Apart these unacceptable problems, you have a car that is underwhelming to drive. The engine has nice power, but it's mated to a jerky, malfunctioning transmission (manual mode doesn't cooperated either), and insensitive accelerator feel. Body roll was mentioned in the review, but this car has an absolutely laughable turning radius. If you want to drive to the other gas pump you'll end up back out in the street.

Bought new fall of 2000. New Honda transmission at 23K miles (warranty). New wheel bearing (LR) at 24K miles (warranty). Kept it up by the book with Acura doing major work. Now it time to reap the rewards of buying a very good car and keeping up with upkeep. It's still solid, peppy, handles well (I prefer modest profile tires for quietness). Sound system rivals anything on the road. Nav system is a bit long in the tooth now, but still works just fine. DVD nav system is a bit outdated and takes up a bit of trunk space. Never get over 23-24 on the highway. Now using cheapest regular gas and it's still purring along just fine.

Our particular Acura TL was actually flooded under water all but about 3 inches from the roof. It was a Florida Summer storm in 2012 that did it. My husband bought it from a co-worker and towed it home. We removed the seats and the carpet to dry them out in the sun. Steam cleaned the carpet. Of course some electronics had to be purchased like the stereo (eBay), rear view mirror, headlights, a few light bulbs behind the dash, the digital clock (some parts purchased at a salvage yard). He then drained the fuel tank and since the car was never started, the water never entered the engine. We reinstalled the carpet and seats and still put a dehumidifier in it for a week until every possible drop of water was absorbed. A/C runs great, etc. I could go on mentioning the little things we did, but this amazing car is what we call the "beater" car. My husband only runs it to work and back. He's driven about 150,000 miles since we did the work and it's still going. There's absolutely no sign of engine trouble and outside of normal use, he is simply changing the oil when it needs it. Amazing!

3 months ago, I would have told you that my Acura TL was the best, I absolutely loved it. Until recently. The newest thing in the New York area is stealing Acura TL 00'-01' xenon headlights, possibly even '02. They fit into low rider honda civics, they are very expensive so stealing them is their 2nd option. Unfortunately Acura is not standing behind there products, they know about the problem butas of yet not finding a solution. I had my car back 4 wks and they stole them again. $1000 later in insurance deductables and $350 for an alarm...I am terminating my least early! When Acuras learns to stand behind their product, maybe I will think about buying another one...

After a Camry and a Maxima which were great for over 150,000 miles, we bought our first "luxury" car. Today, after 3 years and 30,000 miles, it is getting a new transmission. As soon as we get it home, we'll trade it in for something more reliable. Otherwise, why not expect another problem at 60,000 when we are no longer under warranty? What a disappointment!

I had difficulty rating the "fun to drive statement" in this review as I don't find driving any vehicle fun. The idea is to get from A to B safely, and, economically, and in this regard the vehicle has done an excellent job. For its size, and, type I think the 29 MPG is very good. I now have 130000 miles on the car, and, aside from routine maintenance, no repairs have been necessary. In saying that the SRS system has not functioned correctly from day 1. First the car dealer told me that my cell phone was triggering the light, then putting parcels on the seat of less than 35 pounds was doing it, etc, etc. Once it went over its warranty mileage the story changed, it was defective.

I have had car only five months with 10000 miles and was told today I need a "new" rebuilt transmission. The whole reason for buying Acura is reliability, not with mine... Anyone else out there having problems with their transmission? By the way the "rebuilt" is warranted for only 36000 miles if purcahsed. Not a happy camper...

Love the car, consistent great dealer service (3 different dealers in 3 years b/c of job transfers). Only issue is a consistent trim flaw (seen on several other 00 and 01 too) The rear door trim peels/falls apart after about 8,000 miles. Actual service notice was sent by Acura to dealers. A real annoyance every 9 months to replace.
Very Dissappointed!!!!!

Have had nothing but problems with the car since the first week of ownership. Dealership and Acura Direct providing no remedy. The car has a severe engine hesitation since I purchased it. Sometimes the hesitation is very subtle other times very noticeable. Have been back numerous times without positive results.

I've driven my TL daily and put on 140,000 miles and have never had a problem with this car. I drove GM vehicles primarily prior to this and had more issues than I care to remember. Since owning this car, I'm sold on Honda quality.

For the most part I like what this car has to offer as basic features.. heated seats and mirrors, sunroof etc. I did have to have a new transmission but in after the last one almost killed me by stalling and almost stopping dead in its tracks on I-95 in Florida but overall I think it's a great car for the money and resale looks good.

2002 TL-S,10 months old, 22K miles. When driving or riding, I having pain in my hip that runs down my leg from a sciatic nerve problem that had occurred years before during the time I was driving a 1984 Honda Prelude. I can sit in other vehicles comfortably without pain. Seat bottom seems to have little padding and the lumbar support is weak. The headrest pushes my head forward uncomfortably. The overall seat design doesn't fit me. Passenger seat is worse because it can't be raised. Paint chips on the front end; no clear coat? Carpet is thin and wearing. Great gas mileage, great power, beautiful car, but it's gotta go.

The performance and styling of my 2001 Acura TL are first rate. Fit and finish are good. Excellent reliability reports for the TL were an important factor in my purchase decision so imagine my surprise when my transmission started going out on me at 19000 miles. Apparently Acura is having a problem with this year and model and has extended the transmission warranty. They even tell you what to watch for. One other thing that has gotten on my nerves is the road noise. Racing-style tires and minimal noise insulation are probable reasons.

Was continually taking it into the shop for repairs. There were 37 repairs in 7 years and this is not counting servicing, which were all done on time. Multiple attempts to fix the nav system (7 months); multiple attempts to fix handling problems on two separate occasions (23 months total); had to replace molding between doors 11 times; had to replace all four window drive units at separate times; had to replace heater system; had to replace one motor mount; had to replace windshield washer pump assembly; had to replace door latching system in passenger door and driver's door is going out also; had to replace all the brakes at 19,000 miles; and had to replace positive battery cable.

I purchased an TL after driving a 92 Accord for 10 years. What a dissappointment. The 10 year old Accord is much more fun to drive, handling is better, drivers seat much more comfortable. I am thinking about selling it and going back to an Accord. The TL is not worth the extra money. This is a subpar car with nice features at a fairly reasonalbe price.

I have been driving it for about 7 years now and had to change it's transmission once. Other than that no issues at all. I haven't changed the brakes even after driving 90k miles. I only changed battery, wipers and tires, and that's about it! Gas mileage is 29 in city which is excellent. It still drives like new and I'm planning to keep it forever or give it to my college kid in 10 years...:-))

THIS IS MY INITIAL EXPERIENCE WITH AN ACURA. IT IS A FINE AUTO IN ALL RESPECTS, VERY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION (NO SQUEAKS OR RATTLES AFTER 41K MILES), GREAT PERFORMANCE, AND EXCELLENT GAS MILEAGE. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED USED, AND I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT TOOK PREMIUM GAS WHICH I WOULD SAY IS ITS ONLY SHORTCOMING. HOLDS CURVES VERY WELL, AND I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S ONE OF THE BETTER AUTOS I'VE HAD IN OVER FIFTY YEARS OF DRIVING.

This car is excellent in every way, including fit & finish. It has all of the amenities. I especially like the manual sport-shift for a little extra excitment, once in awhile. You will not find a better car for the money, and it is built in the USA.

For a front drive automobile, the 2001 Acura TL is hard to beat. With the optional mapping system, impossible to get lost. Wife does not want another car without it as it makes getting to unknown destinations that much easier. Although others have reported transmission problems, at 53,000 miles after 30 months this car is holding up well. No repairs except for one rattle which has been resolved. The car is as troublefree as we had hoped. Highly recommended.

This car was my father's company car. Commuting from Long Island to NJ everyday, he put on about 35,000 miles per year. I have had the car for over a year, and I put on about 2K per year , used as a station car. This car is rock solid, and quality is excellent. The interior is bland, and the styling outside is also bland. The car just went through the transmission recall, and was found to be fine after 113K miles. I will keep this car for another 10 years, specifically as a station car due to its quality and reliability.

I have had this car for over 4 years. I have had warped brakes, a bad CD player and a bad blower fan. Other than that I have had no issues with this car at all. I have loved every minute of driving it. My lease expires in June (54 month lease. I would recommend this car to anyone. I am considering keeping it, but I will likely buy a new 2005 TL. It has been a great ownership experience. I have had other good reliable cars (Toyotas) but none were as fun as this TL.

My wife and I love our Acura TL. All extras come included, and because we bought our car right before the refreshed 2002's came out, we got a very good deal. All the while getting almost 30 MPG on the highway. We've had this car over a year now, and report zero defects or recalls. If I was shopping for a BMW 3 Series, or a Audi, VW Passat, etc., I would pass them all over for this vehicle. A $30,000 sticker, a transaction price of just over $26,000 and a current resale value of just over $25,000, the Acura 3.2TL might just be the steal of the century in the automotive marketplace.

Bought used off-lease with 46k miles, and love the car (w/nav). For the price you get so many features, rock- solid performance, interior "luxury," and a fun ride. Also got the GPS which, despite being 3 years behind the tech curve, still works like a charm (and is updatable whenever Acura releases the new DVD). Even with 46 k miles this car handles like a dream, the interior is still crisp and working perfectly, and everything just keeps humming. Highly recommended (I was between this and the ES 300, which has a much more luxurious interior, but far fewer features, floatier ride, and higher price).

I loved my T.L. up until last month. The transmission would not shift into 4th or 5th gear. I took it to the dealer for transmission replacement. When I picked it up, three weeks later, there was still a problem with it. Mechanics cannot seem to find the problem. Still not shifting properly and making an odd noise. Also windshield and wipers not good. Very dissappointed since I felt Acura was a very reliable car. A

Had a high speed accident driving at 72 mph on cruise control, when a large SUV crossed the highway. No time to hit brake or turn steering wheel. On impact the air bags deployed, the seat belts held, the engine crushed and dropped. The interior and exterior of the car from the front doors back were not damaged. I was the driver and walked from the accident, although hurting, and my wife in the passenger seat sustained multiple broken bone injuries, but not critical. I will buy another one soon.

While Acuras in general do not rate well with critics due to their conservative styling, a quick sample of user opinions will give you ample reasons to purchase one. They are a Honda product and are unmatched in quality and reliability. This is my second Acura over the last 12 years as I previously owned a Vigor. In that span I have had no mechanical problems other than routine maintainence. It also helps that I have had very favorable experiences with my local dealership. The service has matched the quality of the vehicle.

The TL is a very reliable vehicle. It offers loads of standard options which were unavailable on my Lexus 300 EX. Heated seats, garage remote control, and steering wheel radio controls are but a few of these features. Mileage averages 25-27 on the highway. The ride is a bit noisey-a combination of wind noise and rattle. The Lexus was a softer, more comfortable ride. All in all, a great car for the money.

Transmission stays out of gear after shifting from park 1-5 seconds. ABS & TCS Lights come on together and go off after restart. Many squeaks and rattles especially when cold. Paint quaily is very poor, finish disolves from bird droppings within 3 days. Windshield has what appears to be permanent smears. Seat belt retractor on drivers side is way too slow and can get caught in the door. Dealer charged over $300.00 for 30k service, including an unneeded Trans. fluid change.
