i have a 2003 tls and i need to get the following fixed. are these problems something the dealer will try to avoid fixing? like saying iohhh thats normal since to them its a very petty problem.


1.passenger side seat is loose. everytime i nudge it with my hands it makes a clunk sound but no noise when someone is in it.

2.driver side door handle when hot makes a crunkching noise like it has artheritis. (when opening the door.)

3.steering wheel when turned is hitting something behind it where the serial number is or whatever you call that number. that plastic tab behind the wheel with the number attched to it.

4.brake pedal makes a humm noise when depresed at certian times.

all these god damn problems seem like they will laugh at my ass if i bring it in for fixes. Or am i not the only ones with these problems?

The dealer will only laugh at you, if you're outlining a problem which is not noticeable when driving. For instance, if you have to punch your drivers seat in order to make this clunking noise, then the dealer will simply tell you to stop punching the seat.

With a problem like the squeaky sunroof, you are able to re produce the sound while driving the car, therefore they're willing to fix it.

Don't bother getting everything fixed in the car, especially when it's things you don't hear when driving. I realized after a while that there's no way to have a perfect TL all the time. There's too many little things with this car. You just have to learn to live with them, and look past these small issues, and realize there's a gorgeous car waiting to be driven on your driveway every morning.

take care, and happy driving!

Well - speaking from the other side - take it to the dealer and tell them all - they may well think you are crazy but it bears looking at if it bothers you. No disrespect meant to other opinions but I the price of the car and the reputation of Honda/Acura's Customer Service, any problem to you should be a problem to them.
