anyone with no problems?

I've read lots of problems in this forum, but has any one experienced no problems at all, or just me? Maybe I'm a little slow in finding out the problems my self. I bought a demo with 3057 hard driven miles on it, I've added another thousand miles but so far no problem yet (knock on wood). I'm interested to know are there more owners with no problems or is it the other way around.

Just the seat memory loss problem.

Got the steering wheel alignment problem fixed (sort of).

That is it.

Just turned 1000 miles and I have slight flat-spotting that goes away after a few minutes, had the seat memory loss once and the rear shelf is crooked. Otherwise, it has been an excellent car.

however, my TL came with 18" factory wheels with Toyo tires...maybe that's why i have no tire problems...

and they're being replaced with Pirelli Winter 240's this saturday

PERFECTO! The one annoying rattle I had turned out to be my wife's sunglasses in the little holder. The other annoying noise was my wife! (LOL)

AND - the car gets better every day. I am now at 600+ miles of careful break-in driving, and the idle is now perfectly smooth. If it weren't for the low rumble from the tailpipes, you wouldn't know the engine was on.

1900 miles and only the memory seat problem but since I'm the only driver it's not much of a problem.

Overall, I am very pleased.

I only have the memory seat problem, it also affected the memory settings of the driver. Anyone fix this?, it only happened to me once and I got like 1200 miles on it now.




Oh and I thought I had a problem with my navi screen the other day, i started the car and it was dark but after a few minutes it was bright again, then I noticed it was probably cause it was cold.

Only slight vibration when the car just starts moving , and its not all the time , it is coming from near the Nav screen. The Flat spotting is so minor , I love to drive a car that got it really bad.
(to see what all the fuss is about ) Memory seat issue I not sure bec I am the only driver..don't use that option.
Otherwise the car is mint! Love it , Love it Love it. !!!!

Only one.

I lost my memory seat once, but that is it. I will have them do the upgrade to fix at first service. I don't consider the flat spotting/vibration to be a TL issue. It is a tire issue. Common issue to high performance tires that is mentioned on tire websites.

Checked body alignments and mine are good. Great car and keeps getting better.

Nothing major. Too busy driving to notice anything bad.

Prior to delivery I was the poster boy for 6MT problems.

Since delivery, I haven't had a real problem. The headliner has a minor flaw, but thats it.

My car was delivered with Blizzak LM22s.

I think that generally "most" auto consumers do not have (or cannot identify) the problems that you are reading about in these forums. Years ago, before the internet, etc. would you really be in communication with potentially thousands of individuals chatting about various subjects? Doubt it.

The problems you’re reading about here are probably affecting a small minority of Acura TL purchasers. The beauty in today’s world is that now people can now share and compare their problems and praises.

I'll be purchasing a new TL next month. And none of these complaints will deter me from purchasing it. I'm not saying that I'll have problems, but the chances that I wont are pretty good given that its 2004 and 1974.

Every manufacturer can build a good quality car. Some with problems just slip through. Will probably always be that way till humans are out of the building process.

Just my 2 cents.

No problems found in almost 1000 miles. There is a very slight rattle in the headliner which comes and goes. Performance--engine, transmission, tires, memory--have all been flawless thus far. This is a fine vehicle!

Almost 300 miles, and no problems that I can think of - the outside temp *seems* to be off but I haven't verified that...

I'm going out to drive some more this afternoon & enjoy the ride/performance, err... look for problems to report back to you

My ambient temp reading is probably about 5 degrees too high, but that seems to be par for the course for every car I have had with an exterior temperature reading.

I think the memory issue is something EVERYONE has unless they have a VERY recent vehicle and they are putting a fixed module in...


However, I think some peole do not identify there is an actual problem, or it hasn't hapened YET as it is very infrequent.

900 miles here and no significant problems although the seat memory may be acting up. This is a superb vehicle.
