The Fairytale has ended
I haven't had many of the problems everyone has had--but then today it's like I got all of them at once! Today alone I noticed Flatspotting (badly), Memory settings that wouldn't remember themselves, and some rattling coming from somewhere in the back seat (rear left).
I have had the hesistation during starting that a few people have had, and I hope thats not hurting my engine. I took it to the dealer, and of course they could do nothing about it. I told the dealer that my tires are absolutely awful, and of course they could do nothing about it as well.
Other than that (and today), the car has been an absolute joy to drive. Just bought the car March 18th, have 3000 miles on it already. I love (i think) my TL!

Norse, give the kid his TL back. You should have just tried to enact the Lemon Law with your dealer. This is a dirty trick.

Karizma - You bought your car 5 days after I got mine. Unless yours is an "older" VIN that was sitting on a dealer's lot for a few weeks, it should definitely NOT have the memory problem.
Why would you just now get flatspotting, when the weather in the NE has been warm? My understanding is that flatspotting is a cold weather phenomenon. Are you sure you live in Holland, PA, or is it just Holland?
The hesitation is no big deal, unless you're experiencing it often. I've had it happen once so far in two months, some people have it once a week or so. Really not an issue.
As for the rattle in the back seat, I recommend you have sex back there to break in the seats a little. Does it work? Absolutely. Oh, it won't get rid of the rattle, but you'll feel better.

Rattling in the back door might be something rolling around, like a screw, in the back pocket. First time I checked the pocket there was nothing there, second time there was a screw (first and second time I heard the noise). It sounds stupid and simple but it is worth a look.
