You can simply ask the dealer you purchased from to do a VIN check and see if there are any outstanding recalls.
I've had my TL since May of 1999 and I've never had a problem with anything.....been enjoying it for over 6 years now.

they need to do something, got 01cl-s auto, im on tranny #3, the early signs are the VSA lights flashing and staying on and the check engine light and of coarse the irratic shifting, but since they extended the warranty till 100k miles its not soo bad...but it still blows

Hello, I've 2001 tl - went to get it fix after the recall, but now it just broke down and left me on the middle of the road. Took it to the dealiership and they indicated the transmission needs to be replace. They will replace with a warranty of 3/36000. The transmission will be remanufactured, not rebuilt - is there really a difference between these two? Does anybody know what my options are at this point? I just do not feel comfortable with a remanufactured tranny. Any suggestions?

Just GREAT first Acura and a recall. Well I have the 100,000 7 year . Car has 19,000 on it. Anyone know the cost of the 20,000 mile check up? I am getting the reminder on the dash.

For those who are particularly worried about your transmission, I'd suggest the following:
Since the transmission failure is basically an overheating issue, if you drive aggressively, are seemingly prone to transmission failures, or just want peace of mind, Comptech offers a transmission cooler kit that you can buy. It's normally to be installed with their supercharger but I bet this would go along way compared to any lame oil line Acura is installing.
And fact: Honda's automatics have never been good.

2004 Tl
The road noise is getting loud enough that I may be headed toward my 4th set of tires with only 66k. Will try new struts before tires. Any info on tires cupping prematurely on 2004 TLs?
