I purchased the 99 Acura 3. 2tl with 105k miles. I drove to charlotte, nc when the check engine light came on. Found out it was for the transmission and later had it confirmed that the solenoid has the error. Acura says the warranty extension was their answer to the problem, which never corrected the actual defect. In my case, the car took almost thirteen years to finally get to the mileage where the transmission fails, though now Acura says its not responsible.
Weak bearing installed by manufacturer fell apart, killed shift solenoids and transmission. No warranty replacement is $6000 with labor (20% of the cost of the car new).
