TL problems/questions and introduction.
Hello, this is my first post here so I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Andrew, nice to meet you all.
Now I have a few questions... I’m not currently a TL owner but would like to get a 2014 TL Advance SH-AWD with the 3.7 V6 soon.
1.) I know Acura has extended the warranty on their 3.7 equipped vehicles, how common is the oil consumption problem?
I currently have a 2010 Altima that I drive daily that’s been nothing but transmission problems so I’d like to steer clear of any future problems in my next vehicle. I also have a 2010 RDX AWD that’s been highly reliable.
2.) I know in the AWD models of the TL, there was an issue with the propeller shaft/bearing... was the 2014 model updated with the higher quality bearing?
Thank you!

Welcome to Acurazine.
1. Some cars use oil, some don't. Of those that do, some use more than others. As to how common the issue is among all 3.7s, who knows? You won't know until you own one if yours uses oil, and how much.
2. AFAIK only the replacement prop shafts have the newer model number bearing.
