My TL has too many issues!!

I hate to start posting here complaining about my car, but this is the only place that i may get help without being fooked for a diagnostic
Here are the issues I am refering to;

1. Under 1/2 or + acceleration, I hear these noises coming from the passengers front side, like as if the engine is struggling to accelerate. Its not detonation, I know how that sounds. When the engine is cool or I just start the car it wont do this, but then after a few minutes it will start. Any help??

2. When driving on the freeway, if I accelerate to 70+ even under light throttle, poppin sounds are heard from the drivers/ middle part of the front. It sounds as if theres a loose metal banging against something. Again this is only at high speeds.

3. When pressing the brake pedal to deccelerate, if pressed hard enough, my tranny downshifts prematurely and my rpms shoot up to about 3500, then as I slow down more it upshifts again??? WTF

4. Finally, when going over a ramp of turning left, my suspension makes noises from the front passenger wheel/suspenion parts, like small popping or bending???


Any response to any of these will be great. I just bought my car in July, wanted to fix it up real nice but these issues have me feeling like I made a mistake



BTW, bought it owner to owner so no warranty

Specs:
2004 TL
AT Tranny
75K miles
All stock

An 04 with 75K is bound to have more issues than a brand new car.

#3 is Honda's grade logic kicking in.

#2 might be a misadjusted heat shield (under the floor pan, above the catalytic converter)- there was a TSB out for it starting in '04, IIRC.

wheel bearing possibly. Try this, in an empty lot. drive straight to about 20-25 mph. turn slightly to the right the sharp to the left. this will put all the load on the right side. noise? wheel bearing
