problem after problem on my TL

I have an 06 tl since march (my second ) and had nothing but problems. Let me start my story as best as possible. In november of last year I purchased an 05 for a great deal. I got it 1000 under invoice and they gave me the aspec body kit for waht you got on ebay for installed. In jan of this year I notice I had lots of scratches on the windshield. The dealer told me that the car could have been sitting on the lot since jan of 05 and that the rubber could have rottened and damaged the glass. They said they would replace it and and everything was good. When i got the car back the roof was damaged and had dents all over the car. to make a long story short they gave me an 06, this was in march of this year. Now for this car. Right now it has 6000 miles on it and already had the abs motor changed , power steering rack changed, a passanger side regulator, and now my driverside regulator is acting up. The biggest thing now is that evertime i go over a speed bump ( slow) there is a pop on the pass front side. it sounds like somthing is breaking. I know about cars, I built a 500whp integra so Its not nothing normal. And also my driverside speaker is coming apart. i got the car with 5 miles on it. So my question is what do I do. I know the lemon law will not work, Can I use anything else

What dealer you go to, sounds like they did this crap on purpose to annoy you , I never heard of a TL having issues like that.

Instead of guessing about the LL, why not look it up for your state via goggle? Also, how about higher up the chain @ the dealer or Acura Customer Relations? Sucks, sounds like you got bum cars or bum dealer.

What state are you in? Most state lemon laws say the dealer must try to fix the same problem 4 times OR the car must be out of service a total of 30 days due to repairs.

If it wont fit into the two required categories then I'd start calling Acura to get on their ass.

Yes/no. The rubber scratched the windshield. that was to 05. They gave me an 06 because of the damage that was done to the 05 when they tried to fix it. The 06 I'm having monster problems with

Being 0 for 2 on the TL sucks. With what you have had to deal with regarding the '06 I'd start hoping for more problems so you can claim your car as a lemon and be done with it. Sit down with the manager of the dealership and tell him what is going on and what you expect them to do.

Did they give you a new 06 or a used? No new car should have problems like that.

I'm glad to see that after being away for a year, that the Crapura and the TL haven't not yet to improve since my 04 debacle. Still a $35,000 bucket of lemonade for some people. I didn't say All, but still sounds like they're putting out some ripely broken models.

I only came on here to see what people were muttering about the Type-S, but figured I'd read for a while.
