I don't feel comfortable betraying any confidences by saying anything more, but lets just say I had a meeting with someone pretty high up from Acura Corporate in Carson today, and these issues have both been identified (you already know about the service bulletin for the memory seats).

My stupid dealer just gave me another ignorant answer to my subtle tremble at 1500 RPM/5th gear. He said Acura will never fix this problem due to its dual closed-to-engine converters.
What an answer!...
I hope Acura would address this soon and give him a shock.

It has been nearly two months since this thread started. Does anyone have any new information from Acura Corporate (as opposed to certain friendly dealers who will swap tires)?

Geez....I'm glad I got the summer tires. I hope they're not a POS like the all season tires. Is summer ever comming? I dunno about you guys, but I'm sick of this winter. Here in PA...they don't know how to plow snow, all they do is dump salt and that crappy crushed stone all over the roads...and you know what that does to the beautifull paint....UGH!!!!!!.......dammm....winter sucks!!!

I get the distinct feeling that there is a structural cause for the vibration and that it won't be addressed until the 2005 models roll out. I still don't have vibrations, but feel for those of you who do.

I've had my TL for a week now (built 2/9). I've experienced the 50mph rattle but very sporatic and usually when cold. Haven't got the tire vibration because I had them replace the tires with the Pierelli PZERO NEROs before I took delivery. Haven't experienced the seat memory problem. Maybe they have addressed it on recently built TLs.

I've had the tires of my 2004 Acura TL replaced courtesy of Acura of America with Bridgestone EL2's. The vibration is still there, however. I've been reading the threads and everyone refers to it as "vibration"....mine feels more like a "resonating noise." The car does vibrate when cold (in the mornings) and I think that is from the tires. The resonating noise is at 1500 RPM in high gear at any speed. Worse at 55 MPH... The car currently has 2500 miles on it with only about 50 miles on the new tires. I've contacted Acura of America again. They are suppose to e-mail the service manager of my dealership and get back to me. Also, if any of you get your tires replaced, ask them not to damage your wheels in the changeover as they did mine!

Joeytl-two different things. The vibration at 1500 rpm in 5th gear, which is the rpm anywhere from 45-60 (check your tach if you are doubtful) will not be acknowledged by Acura. They say this is "normal" and they will not be doing anything about it. If enough of us complain, maybe we can make them change their minds.

My '04 TL is at dealer today for the replacement tires and Memory issue - I will let you know what the outcome is...after reading all the tire posts you know I will be checking my rims - with only 300 miles on it - they were clean and perfect when I dropped it off...anything less than that and the dealer will get :ar15:

Well, my Acura dealer replaced the damaged rims on my TL and gave me 4 new tires....however, the vibration (or resonance) is still there. I am happy that my damaged wheels have been replaced....thanks to Acura! My Acura Rep is going to call me when he gathers more information about the problem we are all experiencing....we'll see! They do appear to be trying their best to make me a satisfied customer. Also, today I got a customer satisfaction questionnaire that I have yet to fill out and send back. Have any of you had any luck? :tflamer:

I have had the flatspotting (here in cold Cincy this winter) about 90% of the time I drive the car. Acura Corporate (ACS) replaced my tires for me in Mid-March but the only difference I can tell is that, when warm, the tires seem to have a bit better ride. But, when cold, they are no better than the originals. I jump on the freeway within 5 minutes of leaving my house, which exacerbates the issue. I just wrote a 1 1/2 page letter to ACS and faxed it to them (see the contact info on Owner's Link on acura.com) two days ago asking for new Michie Pilot A/S Sports FREE. We'll see what happens. No response yet, although "ED" at ACS was the one who got me the replacements last month.
My dealer has been really no help - cordial but "this is an ACS issue". I think there is a little resonance around 1500 RPMs at 50 mph, but I honestly don't think it is that big a deal. I'm way more concerned with the flatspotting and want it corrected - now.
Anyone else had luck with ACS via letter or otherwise getting anything other than the recompounded EL42s?

Fellow TL owners,
This is my first reply to this issue. I just recently joined this web group and I have to say it is a great F*#k'n relief to hear that I am not the only one having a problem with the memory function on the TL. Since October when I first bough the car I've had problems with this. It even caused a little tension between me and my girl. She thought I was deleting her seating arrangements to end her interest in driving this fine vehicle. I've taken my car to the dealer and the lame ass tech said, "Oh well you did not program the remote correctly!" I told the genius that I wasn't born yesterday and that I was educated enough to read the manual. But of course like many dealers I got the idiotic look of confusion. As if it was my fault! I too will go back and make an issue about the vibration/resonating noise coming from my wheels.
