Does anyone have any wind noise from the front passenger area. If so is there a fix? I get it over 75 mph. Maybe it is normal?

 

Can't help on this one.

I haven't been over 75 yet. I've only had the car since April.

But, at speeds below 70, I haven't noticed any unusual wind noise. Actually, it's as quiet a car as I have ever driven.

It's so quiet, I think, that any little noise, rattle, etc. becomes very annoying. So far <knock on plood>, I don't have any.

I only heard about wind noise from the driver side, and no fix yet...

Hmm. yeah I suppose typically its the early build cars that have hit the 75mph mark by now, anything built after march is most likely still just pushing 65mph.

Eh? Did somebody say "Early Bird"? I'm there! I might even go over 70!

Oh. "Early Build". Nevermind.

Yah... early build here...

 

u mean a vauge whistling noise?
yea i think i got that...

 

My passenger side on my early build 2004 TL does the same thing. It's much louder when sitting in the passenger seat than the driver's. I noticed when my wife was driving and I was riding. I took it back to the Acura dealer (Gold Coast in Ventura, CA) and they didn't fix it.

Now with the transmission recall, I have to make another trip to the dealer and plan to have them try to fix it again. I also need to have the memory module for the seat settings replaced as well. It's never worked properly.

I also had new tires put on after the original Turanzas vibrated so badly. This is more trouble than I have had with all my other Hondas/Acuras combined. My NSX has never had anything go wrong to it and it's a 1997 that I've owned for two years.

This is the first American-built Honda that I have owned and I am questioning about the build quality. I thinkk I will stay with Japanese-built cars in the future. I am disappointed with all these problems. I was even more upset when the CEO of American Honda admitted that the TL has had quality problems. He noted that the American vendors have a much higher problem rate than the Japanese suppliers do. I think the rate was 3x higher for the American manufacturers and the TL is 85% American.

I get a very slight wind noise when approaching 80MPH. I don't think that this is a defect in the car...it's going close to 80MPH afterall.....and the car in general is so quiet, every little noise is quite apparent. I wouldn't sweat it too much. I think the build quality of my TL is excellent. I purchased the car in March, so it's not a real early build date, and so far, I've had absolutely no problems with the car...no rattles, headliner OK, drives great!!! I really feel sorry for people who have problems with their TL's...it's a great car and getting one with problems really sucks. I think most TL's are built fine...I test drove 3 before purchasing mine..and all were fine.
