Hey i just had a quick question if you all could help me out. I have my 05 tl for about year and a half and about 8000 miles on it. Yesterday when i was taking her out for a cruise i start noticing that my brakes were starting to sqeak. Should I take it into my Acura dealer to have it checked out and would this steal be under my warranty? if you could please help me out. Thanks.

 

is it a squeak or a metal on metal sound? you have 6spd or an auto?

 

i think its a sqeaky sounds and i have a auto.

 

hey man i have an auto 05 TL as well, exactly had it for a year and a half but damn only 8000 miles? lol holy crap ive put up 32,000 on mine..wow you must not drive that much. anyways thats besides the point..my brakes have been screeching like shit as well, its annoying as crap! and im scared to take it to the dealer bc acura dealers are assholes with my car since i have an aftermarket intake and 2 aftermarket mufflers and all this junk, but i heard u can go to midas and just get them redone? thats all they really need..

 

yea i dont drive her too much, still kinda babying her until i can afford to pay for my aftermarket parts. right now tuition is wooping my but plus trying to afford my monthly payments. but as of right now since i dont have that much aftermarket parts on it i might bring it to the dealer and see what they can do since i barely drive it and it is starting to screech because i should still be under warranty. anybody else have problems with screeching brakes?

 

I have the same problem. Look at the rotors on the front, do you notice pronounced grooves?

I've heard people do a few emergency stops, but that only works if your rotors are glass smooth and the pads are chattering against the rotor (happens with a lot of in town driving and light brake usage).

 

Its your age...not necessarily the mods. I dont get that type of crap at my age....they know better....and my car screams mods from the word go.

 

Gee...I might go and check the ACura dealer first? YOu only have 8000 miles for gods sake. As for "steal" being under your warrantee....4 year 50000miles...BUT...fact is...brakes are a wear and tear item...BUT...8000miles is a bit on the wrong side of the fence as far as milage goes...should have gotten WAY more. This is most likely gonna be a regional manager call on that one. Depends on the dealer. Technically...you are NOT under warrantee and are past the time they would have covered the bumper to bumper....(I think) but sometimes they make good faith decisions to make right where something has a shortcoming....and this seems that it might fit that bill....but again...kind of up to your local dealer.

 

hey thanks for you help, yea i probably would take it to the dealer. It wouldn't hurt to try and get it fix under warranty. hey michael i was wondering if you got your 07key fob made already? and also i love the mods you have done to your car also. iwhere did you get a carbon fiber hood?

 

No...I sure dont. I got the CF hood off of ebay....but its a double sided Versus Motorsports hood. Thanks for the compliments!
