steering wheel shakes
Is it just me or does anyone else's steering wheel shake REALLY hard when you are past 90 MPH? when you put on the brakes it is very annoying. is there something wrong with my TL or what?

if your wheel is shaking while your driving and not braking then your tires need to be rebalanced. If your wheel is shaking when you brake then your brake rotors are warped and need to be resurfaced.

our cars do have a known issue with the brake rotors. If you talk to Acura they'll tell you. Our brakes are POS, acura knows about this issue and will resurface it free if the car is still in warranty. they may even replace your pads.

Touch up paint is 4.95 here. I hope u dont got a WDP car, all it does for me is cover the scratch so it wont rust. You can still see the chips.

My front rotor and brake pads were not covered. I had the rotor re-surfaced and pads replaced at 26K miles.
Acura of Pleasanton and Steven Creek both told me that this is not part of warranty and is treated as wear and tear item.
Cost me close to $300 to get this done.

I should have not paid 300 bucks. I went in and just said my wheel shakes at 90 mph when braking. He well there is a bullitine out for that and ill take care of it. But I dont know why I got new Pads to. I have 9400 miles on my car.
