Mileage: 16,200 (approx.)
Problems: Nothing major...had a solenoid go bad but that's getting replaced under warrenty and did not effect the car at all except for an annoying ticking sound at idle. Other than that...no problems...knock on wood.

I got mine 4/24/01. I now have about 43,500 miles on it. I've really slowed down (only about 1000 miles in the past couple of months) and have taken a new job that is only 2 miles from my house so it looks like I'll no longer be the mileage leader.

2002 DEP TLS w/ Navi
22053
Major problems I ever had stemmed from after market comptech spring and anti sway bars install.
- slipped CV joint ball bearing - fixed by dealer ( replaced cv
joint).
- Sqeaky anti sway bar bushing - fixed by dealer.
Just had my 15000 mile check up....
- replaced front rotor (which were warped, expected since I drive pretty hard...)
- Lubed every thing...
I have had no problems that originated from faulty Acura factory work.
I LOVE MY CAR...
BTW, gonna use that spring FAQ to do my own koni yellow shock install, for my birthday, should be fun...

12500 miles
Problems: center console won't stay closed; moonroof squeaking; steering slightly vague periodically, all to be fixed/looked at by dealer on 7/9
I love my TL, I look forward to driving it every day, and I often try to find excuses to get behind the wheel or look at it.
