squeaky brakes
Hey Everyone,
I have an 2005 TL with about 30k miles on it. From the time I got the car I have had squeaky brakes. Each time that I have had the car serviced I told the dealer about the problem and they say that they will take care of it. After each service appointment it does seem to go away only to come back after a short amount of time. The squeaking seems to occur in any kind of temperature pretty consistently whether I apply my foot to the brake hard/soft. Does anyone have a suggestion to get rid of this problem. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks,
Derek

My 04 when I come to a soft stop.. (Most stop signs) I have squeaking, which drives me nuts. I have told them about it at Acura, they did something, blew off the dust/crap that get inside the brake pads or something..
Went away for a bit, but then came back.
My solution now, keep volume at 30...

I just replaced my pads with the Akebono ProACT pads from tirerack. My squeeking went away. They seem to bite better than the stock pads too... They are supposed to dust less too, so it's win-win to me....

Proper bedding in of new brakes and occassional deglazing of older brakes needs to be done if you drive the car gently- as in spouse or kids in car most of the time.
These are sports cars at heart and its a fun simple process to deglaze the brakes

And if we cross paths on the freeway on the way home, she always tries to beat me off the freeway, etc...
One time she was screwing around with me on the freeway, and one of my coworkers called my cell... She was so close to me, my phone automatically paired with her TL, and she answered my phone even tho the phone was in my pocket... You should've heard my coworker... He couldn't understand how I had my phone, but she answered it, but I wasn't in the car with her.

If you can prove to the dealer that you have the problem described, then they should perform the TSB free of charge with no issue, since you are still under warranty at 30K.

if the dealer can' reproduce the problem they are not obligated to do anything but smile and wave as you leave with your squeeky brakes. TSB are to help them better diagnose the problem. A recall is the only reason they would fix it no question.
good luck i have it as well.

Thanks for the TSB. I have this problem and brought it up the last time I was in for an oil change...they told me they could put something on the brakes but it would wear off in a short period of time (I'm guessing what some of these other dealers were doing). The TSB wasn't out then, so if they don't bring it up (they are good about that at my dealer), I'll mention it. Thanks again.

Never expect the Service Writer/Advisor to actually be a "car person."
Some are former mechanics while many others are simply salesmen
who go to a special Acura school.
Thats why its so important to write down all symptoms and leave
a copy in the car for the tech.
What you say to the Writer is not going to go directly in the ear of the person looking at your car.
You cannot expect them to know TSB for every car, BUT when they enter your vin in their computer- one would hope it knows about your car.
If they are not helping you- call acura care!
Another good reason to register at acura.com ownership experience
AND call 1-800-382-2238 x5 6a-5p pacific time and register there. They have the books to look up anythng on your car
Get those brake pads replaced under warranty and the rotors turned, not bad for free1

I will say, that G barely inches out my TL in a drag race. It's really, really close - much more so than I expected - and my wife CAN drive a stick with the best of 'em, so it ain't the driver. I was really, really shocked to find out that her G coupe outweighs the 6spd TL by nearly 200lbs!
Sounds nice But doesn't negate Crapura's handling of service issues. A good starter car don't expect anything else. I'm thinking other brands now and I've had mine for about a year.
