Warning!!! Acura TL/CL owners & potential owners
See my post under classifieds. Bad 00Acura TL...I've only owned this heap of junk for 3 weeks, only has 52,000miles, has had all scheduled maintenance done at my local Acura dealership, and is presently there for a new transaxle and a new ENGINE as well. My wife has a 94 Accord and now has about 110,000 miles but at 60,000 the motor developped a crack near the exhaust manifold and was rebuilt under warranty. Other than that it's been very good. Honda/Acura built in north America simply are not as good as when they came from Japan.

I agree, you only drove it for 3 weeks and got it used. How do you know if the previous owner was the cause of these problems? He/she could've been harsh on the vehicle and/or beat it to death everyday? I've had my TL since 1999 and I've never had a problem with it.
