Ok, just bought an 05 Acura RL w/111K from Acura of Brookfield, WI and owned the car for a little over a month now. Absolutely love the car I think the best car I owned so far but any who I hear like a metal clinging sound from the rear end on rough roads. The sound doesn't sound major more like something needs to be tighten up. I took the car to the dealership two or three times and they couldn't find the issue. The mgr was giving me shit about were chasing a sound and may fix something and doesn't resolve the problem. I took it to a side shop and the gentlemen was adament about replcing the brake hardware, he said that is all it could be. Please help if it's the brake hardware that's an easy fix but if anybody has suggestions feel free I'm all ears.

But it seems every post you make is an attempt to dump your issues on other owners. We all gripe and rant, but your pattern is sour and bitter with each post. Must everyone suffer with you?
It sucks you are having a bad experience. Is your goal to assure no one else can have an enjoyable experience with the RL? That is a lot of energy to spend making the world spin your way. It seems misdirected and misguided. That energy might be better spent repairing your vehicle and sharing your success and insight. Or, maybe that energy is better spent selling your vehicle, and buying one that may make you happy.
It's just a theory, but I do not think even a perfect vehicle will cure your ails.

What value does this statement have to the forum? I am sorry if you are having issues with your car. You bought a used car and certified or not, you add further risk of defects and issues. Name any car with the most perfect reputation and you fill find a lemon or problem child out there.

Anyway, the OP stated that a car he just purchased is the best one he ever had, but he has a problem already. Don't see a logistical issue with that statement? Fine, I do. Anyway, remember we had this conversation, you'll be seeing a lot more of the OP down the road......... The 05 RL is far more unreliable than you realize. Ask Acura about that, I already did.

Dang, are we attracting people from the VW Vortex site now? Never was this catty 3 years ago...
Yes, the '05 has its issues. Yes, they can/will be annoying...BUT, they are easily remedied! So, take off the $hit weighters and RELAX!

For the record I've owned 02 TL, 01CL 94 Vigor and 04 RL and by far my 05 RL is the best out the bunch I am sorry I have to clarify this for you but I don't want you to get side tracked thinking this is the only Acura I've owned. I just wanted a little insight with the metal tingling sound from the passenger rear wheel when driven on rougher roads than usual. I expect to have problems in the future it's a used car but just trying to locate problem my minor issue.
