Owners have filed 325 complaints
about the 2000 Acura TL with NHTSA between 1999 and 2026.
The largest single group is the transmission & drivetrain.
Across this model's run it ranks 3 of 19 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 76
Against the median year of the Acura TL. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 87
16.9% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 7
4% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2000 Acura TL
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 2000 Acura TL
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 202001585,247 units in Canada
Airbag
Issue: On certain vehicles, exposure to moisture over time could cause the driver-front airbag not to inflate properly in a crash. In some cases, this could cause an airbag not to fully inflate, while in others it could cause it to deploy with more force than normal. It could also cause the inflator to rupture. If the airbag inflator ruptures, small pieces of metal could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag and prevent its proper function. Note: This recall is for airbag inflators that may have been installed when the vehicle had the steering wheel airbag replaced. Safety Risk: In a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the driver-front airbag may not inflate properly or the inflator could rupture. This could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. There may be a significant delay before replacement parts are available. The company will send you a second letter once replacement parts are available and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver-front airbag inflator. If the inflator requires replacement, a newly design part will be installed.

Recall 200414385,184 units in Canada
Powertrain
Certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or, in very rare cases, gear breakage can occur. Gear failure could result in transmission lock-up. Correction: On vehicles with 24 000 kms or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to second gear. On vehicles with more than 24 000 kms, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. If discolouration exists, the transmission will be replaced. If discolouration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line.
Recall 2002063130 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain passenger vehicles a component in the inflator of some passenger air bag modules was not welded properly. As a result, the affected air bags may not deploy correctly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to a front seat passenger. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger air bag module.
Recall 20012151,022 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
On certain 2002 Acura 3.2TL vehicles with replacement buckles installed per recall 1X-3-01 certain 2000 Acura 3.2TL vehicles with replacement buckles installed as product update repairs; and certain 2000-2002 Acura 3.2TL vehicles with replacement buckles installed as warranty or collision repairs. Repairs were made from March 9 through July 27, 2001. Honda has determined that certain vehicles were repaired with incorrect parts. Some of the noncompliant buckles were mislabeled and redistributed to Acura dealers to be used as recall repair parts. Honda also determined that incorrect front seat belt buckle replacement parts were used for some product update repairs of 2000 Acura 3.2TL vehicles, and warranty or collision repairs of 2000-2002 3.2TL vehicles. These seat belt buckles may not comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the front seat belt buckles.

TODAY JUNE 2, 2013, MY 2000 ACURA 32TL HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT RESULTED IN A CRASH WITH A PARKED VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER HITTING THE PARKED CAR, I TRIED TO PULL THE CAR FORWARD AND TRIED TO STOP. INSTEAD, IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY, EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO STOP. IT TOOK CONTROL AND STARTED MOVING FORWARD THROUGH ROAD, DRIVEWAY AND NEIGHBORING LAWN. I STEERED FOR ABOUT 100 FEET AND HIT THE CORNER OF THE NEIGHBORING HOME AND FINALLY STOPPED. IT WAS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS OF FRIGHTENING MOMENT THAT MY FAMILY AND I WENT THROUGH. IT WAS SUNNY AND 85 DEG F. THE CAR HAD SEVERE DAMAGES ON BACK AND FRONT BUMPERS. TIRE MARKS ON THE ROAD, DRIVEWAY, AND LAWN, PLUS PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE WERE SUSTAINED. FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND HIT MY WIFE AND I IN THE FACE. I AM WONDERING IF THERE ARE ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS BY NHTSA ON SIMILAR INCIDENTS. PLEASE ADVISE.

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
