My TL loaner

Hi all,

Anyway....

They gave me a 04 TL loaner AUTO. It hasthe vibration problem as well. both issues 50-55 and the 80 mph one.

Wait until I have to turn it in.

If I don't hold their car hostage until they fix my vibration issue.

My 6MT has no vibration, rattles or flatspotting. The EL42's which I originally was disappointed in getting when I found out it cam with them (ordered it in August) I dont think the tires are all that bad. I drove through 3 snow storms here already and a few rainy days and they grip better then I ever thought. But the thread depth seems shallow. As soon as they wear out I guess I'll get the Michelins Piolet a/s or any other better rated tires then the EL42s. I have been inspecting it for 600 miles listening carefully and it seems perfect. The only sound I hear is the motor "roar" when accelerating hard. It drives good smooth and fast. The only problem I found so far is that 3 panels are slighty out of "align" the trunk is about 1/4" more gap on one side then the other and the front drivers side fender has a 1/4" gap above the headlamp housing while the other side is flush; and the rear pass side door is about 1/4" pertruding as compared to the rear quarter panel. The other thing is the gas mileage on the last 3 tanks showed 16 on the MID, maybe its still breaking in but & I drive in Manhattan NYC which has alot of traffic.

The first car I test-drove was Auto TL by Acura Manhattan. It had unbelievable vibration from everywhere. It's the worst vehicle I ever drove. After posting experiences, ppl suggested me to try others. I'm lucky to get vibration-free experiences in my 2nd car and 3rd one. Fortunately, my 04TL is also vibration free.
