Acura TL Change Vehicle

"Master Cylinder failed during routine brake job"

"The master cylinder was fine but it had a sensor that went bad. Unfortunately, the sensor is attached to the master cylinder which required the purchase of a new unit. This was a stupid expense"

"Very slow leak"

"replaced pads with ceramic pads at the same time rotors replaced"

"I had to have the rotors, calipers ands pads replaced on all fore wheels at just over 70,000 miles. The brake pads lasted approximately 30,000 miles"

"Front pads worn out at 75000 miles"

"front brake pads needed replacement"

"Rear brake pads needed to be replaced."

"Parking brake broke, jammed/froze. Right front wheel frozen. Would not turn."

"Rear brakes only 20K miles before need to replace"

"replaced caliper"

"rotors wear out, what more is there to say"

"replaced with slotted and dross drilled rotors"

"replaced caliper"

"brake pads squeaks on cold mornings. re-lubed with correct lubricant and now is working fine"

"Required replacement"

"AC compressor stopping cooling the car. It continue to blow air, but not cool air."

"The car only has 78000 miles on it and the AC compressor needed replacing - shouldn't happen with a premium brand but this just joins a long list of failures experienced with this car."

"Cooling system continues to blow even when temperature is adjusted upward"

"This issue just occurred and has yet to be repaired."

"The blower resistor failed"

"Blower motor needed to be replaced. It wasn't blowing hot or cold air from any vents"

"Blower transistor blew out, causing blower to only run at highest speed"

"I had to replace the blower motor to fix this issue."

"Lack of cooling from air conditioner"

"Leaking valve was replaced and system recharged"

"Needed repair"

"Quite a lot of refrigerant leaking. Was fixed, but now there are other leaks. Not sure from what."

"headlight went out, cost $1,000 to replace"

"Igniter for Xeon headlamps burnt out"

"Repeated headlight burnout. Required very expensive assembly to replace. Simple lightbulb replacement not possible"

"The "clicker" stopped working to unlock the doors. The actuator had to be replaced, which was fairly expensive. Then, the trunk clicker stopped working in the same way. It is not the battery in the key fob. Very inconvenient, because there is no key entry into the trunk. You have to open the back seat passthrough and use a ski pole to reach the latch and manually push it"

"drivers door lock not working"

"The doors quite locking automatically. I could lock and unlock them manually. The fix cost about $500. I had to replace the power steering pump at 140,000 miles. Other than there have been zero reliability problems. Today the Acura is as tight and wear-freeze as when I bought it in 2004. It has been a remarkable car!"

"Key fob only works intermittently. Battery has been replaced. No help"

"The driver's door will not lock or unlock using the remote or the electronic rocker switch. We need to manually pull and push the lock post"

"Passenger side door won't unlock when unlock button is pushed."

"Passenger door will not unlock when button pushed."

"Driver Seat belt sensor light needed to be replaced"

"The air bag warning light comes on often and sometimes goes off and sometimes doesn't. The check engine light goes on, seemingly for no reason"

"water vents in skylight and around engine compartment got plugged with debris and led to leaks in passenger side of car."

"Creaking suspension only in hot weather"

"There's a nasty rattle inside the dash and a 2nd rattle on the surface of the dash -- resulting, I think, from the disparate materials used"

"There are various squeaks and rattles from the dash and have been for several years"

"Interior trim squeaks, not pervasive but have always been a nUSnce"

"Something is rattling in the dash. Also the dash is cracking and it was always garaged"

"The car makes a lot of rattling noise when in motion. It seems to be coming from the doors"

"CONSTANT squeaks from the headliner from the first day of purchase in '2004. The noise is alleviated when I keep BOTH visors DOWN"

"since about 20000 miles have had issuses with brake squeel"

"There is constant wind noise when the vehicle is in motion. I have lowered and raised the windows fully but the noise continues"

"Locks seem to automatically relock in wet weather (rare though). Windows won't go up if car is on a tilt"

"Passenger door power locks do not work. Have to use the manual button"

"Driver's side mirror and sometimes passenger side mirror are not responsive to electric controls despite replacement of faulty electronic equipment"

"Driver's rear view mirror ceased automatic operation and mechanism had to be replaced. Both rear view mirrors had to be replaced because reflective surface corroded"

"The driver side mirror turns down when backing up. Sometime it doesn't reposition when going forward"

"Right front window - when you place it in the down position - it takes about ten to fifteen tries on the button to make it go back up. Acura store in Louisville has attempted over the years to fix, but it still doesn't work"

"3 power windows have failed (and the 4th the year before). Lift cables for windows have snapped or become stuck on the plastic guide used as a pulley at top of door frame"

"driver power window mechanism suddenly broke 6 months ago with window in open position & had to be replaced. Passenger side window had done the same thing when the car was only 2 years old but that was covered under warranty."

"Passenger window no longer closes properly because of broken regulator."

"An O2 sensor failed and needed replacing"

"Both air/fuel sensors had to be replaced, fuel system cleaned including injectors"

"Replace air ratio sensor"

"My Check Engine light came on and my fuel mileage declined a bit. The car also ran a tad rough at idle. The remedy was to replace the O2 sensor."

"check engine light was on. systems Scan Check diagnostics found the oxygen sensor had failed and was replaced"

"check engine lights appears for O2 sensors"

"Transmission had all recommended maintenance done, including a recall for the 2nd gear oil problem. Still failed very early in my opinion"

"Original equipment failed at 214000 miles. Replacement required"

"Acura TLs have a known weakness with their transmissions. Many go out around 150k miles. Mine lasted until almost 200k"

"First and second gears of the automatic transmission failed. Given the cost of the transmission and the value of the car, I elected to have the dealer install a used transmission"

"Transmission stopped working"

"No problem with the rebuild."

"After accelerating with high RPMs shifting becomes difficult"

"age related seals replacement"

"Car intermittently would get stuck in third gear. Driving on freeway, slowed to stop on slight upward grade, felt like I had no power. Once car got rolling, would not shift up or down. Usually rest once engine turned off"

"This was a salvage (wreck) so I got the car for cheap. The oil leaks may just be from the jarring of the wreck. They are moderate leaks, but aren't a major issue. I just add a bit in between oil changes. Just part of owning an old car."

"Engine block started leaking; was told it was simply the car's age. Main engine gasket repairs would be very costly."

"Oil pan was leaking along with other items. Timing belt had to be removed to get to oil pan. Dual expense on top of a recent transmission replacement. The vehicle is beginning to be too expensive to maintain."

"I took the car in to investigate and address noise when steering, turning wheel to extreme position. found issue with power steering but also recommended replacing the timing belt as it was in bad condition. This ended up being a significant expense and required more down time that I had not been planning on."

"Replaced as a preventative. No problem other than age."

"Starter motor failed requiring towing and replacement"

"Failed at 75,000. Most original starters last much longer"

"Axle snapped while starting from a stopped position. Vehicle had to be towed and was out of service for two days."
