The d5 on the transmission started blinking, the the engine light came on along with tcs light. The shift from lower to higher speeds was bit jerky or slow. I took the car to the dealer for check-up. On diagnostics, he gave me the codes p1739 and p1750. The recommendation was to replace the transmission - cost 4200$. This problem was highlighted in a 2002 memo from acura , however, in my case, the problem shows up at this mileage and I am not covered. I spoke with aamco which apparently acura does not endorse and they said that torque failure is common on honda transmissions.

2001 acura 3.2tl. Consumer states problems with vehicle transmission *tgw the consumer stated he recently noticed a juddering and slipping on d5 while shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd, especially while going on ramps, merging on to freeways and bridges. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to find a problem. Two weeks later, the check engine light illuminated and the consumer took the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer determined that there was indeed a problem with the p1750-clutch press, which was related to the automatic transmission recall. The consumer believed the replacement should be free of charge as a one time gesture.

While entering highway ga 400, I noticed that my 2001 acura 3.2 tl slammed in to first and second gear. Then, the d5 dash light began blinking, then the tcs light, then the check engine light. I drove to the nearest dealership (jackson acura), who advised me that the transmission had failed and offered 10% "help" with the $5,331.65 cost for a new transmission. I was "lucky", in that we were driving in excellent conditions. We could have been hundreds of miles from home, in the rain, in the dark, with small children... There was no warning. I consider this to be a major safety hazard.

I purchased a 2001 acura tl last week 03/09/10 fell in love ....on 03/16/10 driving down the highway at 60 MPH the check engine light comes on RPM rise when I press the gas pedal but the car doesn't speed up. And im forced to try and drift into a breakdown lane without getting hit by other cars on the highway!.so that means I've only had the car for a week and it almost killed me!

Various problems with the 2001 acura tl. Bought used and has been in shop 6 or 7 times in less than one year. Brakes, transmission replacement, master cylinder. Brakes continue to seemingly have a problem...you have to almost go to the floor to stop, but dealership says this is normal on this type of vehicle. True or not-I don't know. Also, the check engine light keeps coming on, also the ABS and tc lights keep coming on. Also, it does not make sense that my car now has 50,000 miles on it when I hardly go anywhere. It seems the odometer is very inaccurate. There is no way I have put 30,000 miles on this car since april of 2003. Could not find any other information concerning the odometer issue, but was told by a mechanic that it's possible their could be a speed sensor issue in the transmission, which would also cause the check engine light to come on.
