rattles and creaks everywhere

I've been driving the TL for a while now and I have rattles everywehre now. the suspension creaks because of the rear comptech springs and sway bar. The seat and seatbelt rattle. The center console rattles. the passenger side door area rattles. I dont' really mind, i just turn on the radio but i'm just unhappy with the build quality.

Do what I do: take one of the service guys for a ride and point out each creak and rattle.

I agree, the dealer is a big waste of time for me too.

You know the best revenge is going to their showroom floor during the weekend, usually people are shopping for cars. Keep on f**king their service very loud to scare other customers away. Keep yelling out all the problems you have with the car, say how other brand is better than this. Criticize everything you can think of, go up to as many customer as possible. Show them your car, let them ride with you, demostrate all the noises and problems. I am sure they will be interested because they don't want to be scammed $30k by the dealer and Acura like we did. I am so fu*king angry everytime I hear the noise, I want to go to the showroom now.

noisy rear pillars

I've been to the dealer some 4 or 5 times now trying to get rid of this really nagging noise that appears intermittently around the rear c pillars. They make all these excuses, and blame in on the spoiler even though I'm convinced that it's the car itself somewhere that's making the rattles. I've even demonstrated the sound to them before during a test drive, but they can't seem to figure out how to correct it. Acura should issue bulletins to the dealers on how to fix the 101 noises that emminate from their cars.
