00TL lemon gone with happy ending
well late 2k3 i bought an 00 white TL with 44k and pretty much the year and a half i owned it was nothin but headaches, tranny went, climate control went, axel went, windshield stripping came off, radio went and last but not least the engine while still driveable had major problems, dealers suspected a bad rod or some other internal damage, so after complaining my ass off i made the dealership i got the car at take my car back for almost 14 grand as opposed to the 11,800 it was appraised at, now with 65k on it. i got a 2k2 WDP Type S and lets hope this one has much better luck 
good things happen as long as you fight for your rights and dont take no for an answer.

WOW you'll love the improvement from the TLP to the TLS!! lucky man.. my freakin 99 is giving me some headaches too. as soon as i bought it, the pads were down to nothing and since that stuff was all gone, it started chewing up the rotors, then the freakin EGR gives me annoying check engine light, the 99-01 factory 16's are so scratched up and crazy ugly, the OEM tires were balding, the paint is chipping all around, because acura uses some low quality thin ass paint, and now because of the cold weather its giving me weird starts and higher idles.. also the gas mileage is killing me. probably just gonna sell it once the spring rolls around. only reason im keeping it is because it handles so nicely in the snow
good luck with the S

man I admire this person's faith in a product.. Most people just go running.. I would not buy another 2G S model on a bet. I have seen too many problems with them to make the gamble. I know people are impressed with the product's performance and feature price point, but I want something that is going to last longer. I would not mind so much if at 110,000 miles the product fell apart, but that was far from reality...
Even 110K is too early.
My GF has a 3G model and she has had issues with it as well. I went with the G and even though I did not get the premium for 2k more and gave up a few options, I have had better luck than she has had with her tl.
