Tl* the contact owns a 2002 acura tl. The contact stated that the gears had been slipping and slow to change over with a sudden jerk or lunge. The rpms would race intermittently once the gears changed and the engine and emissions warning indicators illuminated. The dealer (rivertown honda, 4260 kenowa ave sw, grandville, mi 49418, (616) 667-4500) cleared the codes, but the codes returned on the instrument panel within 48 hrs. The contact was uncertain if the dealer could provide a solution after taking the vehicle back again with no specific repair solution.

Takata recall my acura tl was driving fine and all of a sudden, the transmission started to slip and jerk while on the highway I-25 in colorado, putting my life in grave danger. I tried pulling over in castle rock colorado at an auto zone to see if stop slip fluid in the transmission but that did no justice. As I was looking to get it fixed, I seen in the internet that there was a recall on this vehicles transmission. So I hope I can get this fixed and back running soon. Otherwise I may never get another acura model car in my lifetime.

I was in heavy stop and go traffic in dallas, texas, when my car car started jolting foward during initial acceleration. I took it in to the honda dealer in my hometown since there is not an acura dealership there. They told me it was transmission slippage after they took it for a test drive. They performed a transmission service, and I was informed they found burned fluid. I have since investigated this transmission problem online and have found that there are still hundreds of thousands of acuras and hondas with transmission problems like this and worse that are still on our highways.acura knew the transmissions in these 1999-2003 cars were flawed from the time they left the factory, and acura has paid for some repairs outside of the extended warranty. I have been told by the honda mechanic that the problem will only get worse. Acura USA doesn't want to discuss the problem with customers outside the extended warranty anymore, however I can assure you this is a safety issue especially in city traffic. These cars are a real safety problem.

I am the first owner of this car (from 3.5 miles on the odo) and my 2002 acura tl-s has the original defective transmission (according to acura service department) and started slipping at 75,000 miles about 4 years ago. The acura service department tested the car during an airbag recall at that time and was not able to replicate the problem even though it was clear to me that the transmission was slipping slightly between 2nd and 3rd gear. Now, 4 years later and at 166,500 miles, the transmission is slipping more noticeably and more frequently (once in about every 3 times). Acura carland of duluth, ga had me take off work early and drive one hour to see them and check out what's going on. Once I drove across town in severe rain and brought it in, they dismissed me within 5 minutes without even testing or driving my car because "it had too many miles." they could have easily told me that over the phone. I commute to work 120 miles roundtrip each day and I felt I didn't get the time and respect that I deserve. I am concerned about my safety because this is my only car and they didn't even tell me if I should replace this right away or if I have enough time to save up for this $4000 repair of a transmission that several acura service and sales departments have told me had flawed design and parts which were somewhat modified in future transmissions which I feel I am either entitled to even if I have to bear some portion but not all of the cost.

Transmission started slipping between 2 and 3 gear contacted acura dealer they told me that they can't help me because my car was out of warranty and I have to pay full price to get fixed. Really unhappy with acura. Always was a acura person until now when I bought acura tl 2002 one year ago. Have 125000 on it and never had any idea that transmission will go out. I was reading and notice even after dealer changing transmission they still go out.
