Just about 13k miles.
Purchased Sept '01. Lets see...

Sunroof rattle -> tape fixed
Rear seat missing button -> replaced entire rear seat
In the process two large scratches to paint -> touched up
touch up paint -> :yack: doesn't match getting panel factory re-painted
Driver's seat buckle rattle -> bolt lubricated, fixed
Mystery rattle on left/rear interior -> still mystery
I think it is where the passenger front seat belt is adjustable on the side of the car. I really don't know yet, have to take a friend driving to borrow their ears It isn't the headliner, noise is lower than that. Don't think it's the seat belt itself, I taped that down as a test. Not the headrest, I removed that as a test.
Paint peel on muffler -> getting repainted
Click noise when rear defroster turned on -> getting looked at next service

I think that's it...

About 34500 miles, purchased 4/24

1) Water leaking in from behind driver's side dash -- noticed first time I washed the car. Fixed by some water leak guru.

2) Sqeaking sunroof -- fixed w/ tape

3) Failed tranny at 8500 miles. Replaced.

4) Warped rotors at about 20000 miles. Resurfaced free of charge.

5) Failed tranny at 26500 miles. Replaced.

6) Too many other squeaks and rattles (all the common ones + some) to worry about fixing.

Even after all of this, there isn't another car out there (for the money) that I would rather drive.

- Intermittent problem with front passenger window - won't roll up once all the way down... Anybody else encounter this problem ?
- Noise coming from inside front driver side door when driving over 100 mph, still investigating the source.
- Some squeaking with seat and belt buckle.

Question Squeaks / rattles and failed trannies ?

Why is it that the newer models of the TL have so many squeaks, rattles and tranny problems. Its getting more and more ridiculous after every year. I have a 99 TL and I havent had even one squeak, rattle and at 74500 miles my transmission is smoother than ever.

The reason of my concern is that I am planning to trade in my car for the 2004 redesigned TL when it comes out and if the quality control is as bad as it is now ... i need to re-think the choice of what my next car ought to be. :yack:

~8,500 miles since May, 2001.
Fixed: sunroof, driver's seatbelt squeak (they replaced the whole belt, but messed up that little tab that covers the screw holding the seat down, which they WILL fix ).
I'm still in love.

2500+ miles since 1/24/02
(the 60 mile round trip to work really adds up, but I've gotta pay for the car somehow)

No major prob's to report.

Sunroof does rattle when the moonroof cover is open... quiet when closed... is this the sunroof prob ppl have been talking about? or does it make noise when closed? Yea, yea flame me, I'm too lazy to do a search right now...

Other than the poor quality audio, I love the car.

My dealer replaced the seatbelt buckles and that eliminated the problem...I suggest you have them do the same for you.

So...13,500 miles, roof rattle fixed easily, rotors resurfaced and everything else is fvcking amazing!

I'd be careful about getting the first year of the new model TL...maybe wait til 2005 comes out in early 2004(?).

~7800 miles - purchased 5/11/01 (how do you guys get so many miles on your cars?)

Problems:

Uneven exhaust tips -> Dealer replaced entire exhaust assembly
Fuzzy stuff coming out of perforated seats -> "Normal"
Lurching at stop light (only in warm weather) -> Dealer didn't find the problem, will have to see if it comes back in the summer

Everywhere....twice....and back! Actually I travel throughout VA, NC, SC and sometimes to GA and KY (as in the state, not the jelly ). I'd probably have at least another 5000 if the car hadn't been in the shop so much
