TL problems?
Hi guys, looking at getting a 05-07 TL. I currently drive an 04 SRT-4, and am tired of getting tickets just because my cars so loud, and has dark tint. I just started the police academy, and the tickets I've been getting for exhaust, and window tint, and minor speeding citations aren't helping! I feel like Police are just sitting back, and letting every other car drive down the road but when my they see my car they start .
I really enjoy having my car, and suprising people with it, but its not worth the hassle or the money... and possibly sacrificing my career.
Ive thought long & hard about what to get and have basically narrowed it down to an Acura TL. Ive always loved em, and I guess its time to get out of the racing stage, and get something thats nice, comfortable, reliable, and slap some double 5% tint on it and call it a day
How long have you guys had your TL's? What normallu goes wrong with them? Were there any re calls or anything I should look out for when driving/purchasing?
Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys & gals!

Good luck with the car and the Academy, but don't fool yourself you will not be able to get a car once you start.

Well, you could try posting in the main 3G (2004-2008) TL forum instead of in the "problems" section for a little more input-- it's also a holiday weekend.
See https://acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=93 for the main 3G section.
You can do a search on buying a 3G TL, or look at the most recent thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/tl-shopping-734104/
Welcome to AZ and good luck on your search.
Oh, no problems with mine since new. 2 universal concurrent recalls (wiper motor and PS hose) in 2008; some manuals have a 3d gear reluctance issue resolved with new trans fluid.
Get a Navi model for better dash and better voice control integration.
Treat buying a TL like you would any other used car before buying.

I have had my TL for 3 years and not one issue and I am boosted. Try to find a 6 speed if you can and navi is very much worth it. The Academy is brutal try to find the car before it starts. I hope you are running alot, I finished a little over a year ago and wow it was quite an experance.
Good luck with the car and the Academy, but don't fool yourself you will not be able to get a car once you start.

Ryan's loving his ATLP TL
I'd say. Watch the front end on dips. Horrible Turning radius. Rattles. Paint is extremely THIN and easy to chip. Besides that, not really any problems. If you can deal with those minor things, expect to have a great car! Though if I had my own choice on any brand. I'd go for Lexus. I own an 05 TL Auto. Fast and Luxurious. Just my style. And thats why I bought my TL. DEFINITELY get the Navi.. That thing comes in handy.

The 3G garage may help answer some questions, and perhaps open new ones.

You could probably deal with the front end on dips then. You'll love the TL, and you better make sure youve got an extra couple grand for mods, because you WILL get the mod bug. You just will. No matter how broke you are, you will modify it any way you can, so save up.
You'll like the TL, but its gonna really be a change of pace.
