general problems of the 2000 Acura TL

As you are driving down the road interstate or highway the car cuts off/shuts down but everything electrical stays on inside the vehicle then you have to wait 45 minutes/ an hour and a half to get it to start back up but it will turn over and continue to turn over if you try to start it before then happens a lot here lately took it to several mechanics to see what the problem was and plug it up to the computer/code reader and it will not get past 30% while hooked up trying to read/download the codes so you can’t even find out what the issue/problem is.

There is no known dealership near my location for the recall to be fixed.

At the time of this text, the car is at an Acura service center. The interior has become soaked with water affecting the battery & possibly other components. The continuous problem, creating a damp & very wet interior, has caused mold to form everywhere inside the car, I am a severe asthmatic & this has been extremely detrimental to my health. I will be providing documentation as soon as I receive it.

When it rains my car is supposed to drain water out but, the drainage hose is not long enough so the water goes on my cars carpet,I tried to install a hose but it is not long enough,I couldn't find the right size hose, the water is damaging the floor of my car.

Trasmission has had to be replaced twice. Airbag light has remained a problem since about a year after I purchased it.

I recently purchased a pre-owned 2000 Acura Tl over the summer and discovered that there was a notice to the owners of these vehicles in 2004 to have the 2nd gear of the transmission inspected for abnormalities due to lack of lubrication in all vehicles, and if abnormalities were discovered the transmission will be replaced, in all vehicles over 15000 miles. Upon reading this, and discovering my vehicle was not inspected, I made an appointment with an Acura dealer to have this issue investigated. When they looked at the transmission they were instructed to install a kit to improve the lubrication. They also informed me that because the previous owner had some work performed on the transmission, on a different part that Acura had problems with previously, that they would not inspect the 2nd gear for abnormalities, even though they found shavings in the transmission fluid. This decision to halt the inspection was made by Acura corporate despite pleas from the dealership service men, myself and family members. This vehicle has an increased chance of having a transmission lock up, potentially creating a car accident and has an increased potential of loss of life. The service I received from Acura corporate in the handling of this matter I feel was completely unsatisfactory, even though the dealership servicemen gave an excellent effort for great service.

Yesterday, 8/18/13, our auto darkening rear view mirror leaked a black liquid that melted the plastic console under it. The liquid could not have been on the console for more than 45 minutes as the rear view mirror went from being clear when we arrived to a shopping center, to a distorted view when we were leaving. Searching google, ¿2000 Acura Tl rear view mirror leak,� I found many instances of this happening to others. I also found that the substance is toxic (perhaps as many as 6 compounds including Mercury). In some cases these mirrors have exploded throwing black toxic goo on passengers and the interior. Some have reported getting ill from exposure. Needless to say, I removed the mirror. What I can¿t understand is that these mirrors have not been recalled, not just because the liquid ruins the interior of the car, but it¿s dangerous as a health hazzard well. I believe this type mirror was used for many years before and after my car was manufactured. Yes, this is a 13 year old car. We purchased it new and it remains in near perfect condition with under 30,000 miles on it. It now has partially dissolved console.

My car was parked in the sun at which time the automatic rear view mirror proceeded to leak caustic fluid from the photo cell unto the middle of my car's interior console especially all over the gear shifter area. This fluid was corrosive to the point that it melted a hole in the bottom of my rearview mirror and damaged the plastic pieces in the center of the console including the gear indicator and its trim ring. The rearview mirror is now cloudy and somewhat damaged. Some of the fluid got on the back of my hand when I put my car in gear and caused a slight burning sensation until I washed it off. I'm not sure if there's more fluid yet to leak from the damaged mirror the next time the interior of the car gets hot.

I have a problem in automatic transmission of my Acura Tl 2000 that I bought 2years ago. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd sometimes it dont change the gear. It seems like slipped. Upon search I found out that this car was recalled for fixing this problem as it is manufacturing fault. But the owner didn't take it may be because it is registered in uae and Acura don't have much appearance here. I want to know if Acura can do something now at dealership of Honda in uae.
