2001 Acura TL transmission complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 102 of 102, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Many acura 3.2 cl owners have been reporting transmission failures, as well as acura 3.2 tl owners, who have the same transmission units in their cars, and believe that this may be a safety hazard. If the transmission failure occurs while driving the vehicle, the vehicle sometimes slows down abruptly, especially when the driver is accelerating. For example, when trying to pass someone, the transmission will suddenly leave the engine revving high, but the car wont actually accelerate and actually slows down, sometimes very noticeably. This can cause someone to rear end you if theyre coming up from behind you not expecting you to suddenly come to halt for no apparent reason. Also, it seems that honda/acura may have known about this problem with its automatic transmissions since the release of the honda v6 accord, which is the platform on which the acura cl and tl models are based. The cl/tl models have increased horsepower over the accord, especially the type s models, and these transmissions may not be able to handle the extra power.
