I loooking for about 30,000 miles with a good ride.
I had a 2002 TL Type S before I purchased the 04 TL. It had a number of rattles (and a transmissin that went out) also. My opinions of Acura quality are steadily declining
One other minor thing--the tape that holds the plastic piece around the gear shift is sliding out from under the piece. Is this happeneing to anyone?
Jeff
Did you fix any rattles yourself? Thanks.
Chookalish and JJabbyTaylor: The scratches in the aluminum trim piece b/n the seat and the gear shift is likely due to carelessness when buckling the seatbelt. It's seemingly easy to dent or scratch the aluminum when buckling quickly.
Good Question. I know the self test occurs when I start in the morning and when I go home from work. I don't know (or haven't really paid attention) to whether it occurs every other time or not. It may be a time passed thing or a brake pressure thing.
Over the weekend I drove my dad's previous gen TL, a car I drove often before, but this time it did something different. From 1st gear, it appeared to overrev, and therefore shifted very abruptly to 2nd gear. The problem would appear and disappear.
Has there been a recall on the prev TL? If my dad doesn't get it serviced right away, will the engine get damaged?
Anyone with conclusive information?
3. Speeds above 40mph, regardless of whether the clutch is engaged or not. Worse above 75mph.
I'm using the Sony-Ericsson T608.

Use the right side box and search vehicle.
You can even read the official letter Honda sent to its dealers.
Surprisingly, recalls for BMW and Lexus were small stuff. Infiniti did not fare well. Audi A6 did poorly but S6 had minor recalls. So Audi still looks pretty good.
I'd like to hear everyone else's comments on this.
Acura's tend to be half red or solid red.
Everyone should also demand that Acura extend the warranty on their 04 TL trannys to 100K like they and Honda have done for other models.
I purchased this, my 4th Acura/Honda product as a replacement for my 03 Accord that had premature transmission failure during the first year (among other issues). I thought that I purchasing a car of superior quality and superior customer service that I could rely on and feel safe in. I'm having second thoughts and it is up to Acura to do the right thing - are you listening???
Too many problems... all kinds of rattles and transmision issues for 4 years in a row.
I'll never buy another Acura...nothing but an overpriced honda.
Talk to the dealer...
EL42's?
