I love my 06 Acura TL, it drives like a dream.
This is my first new purchase and I could not have made a better choice. The interior and exterior fit and finish is tight, very pleasing. Great quality.
The dealership treated me like family and completed follow ups to ensure I was happy. Thanks!
I recently purchased a 06TL. It has 3500K and I have found the fender, both right and left, have chips in the same location. The chips are above the mudguards. I cannot believe it would chip that easily, already. The car has not been driven hard or on an unpaved road, just general driving. Has anyone else noticed this???
I bought my 05 TL in Oct04. I had tire problems right from the start. The car would pull to the right. The dealer replaced the two front Tires and Rims. Since then, I have to constantly take it back because the alignment is always off. Other than that it has been a great car. FS.
I bought a new Acura TL in September 05. I have not had any major mechanical problems. However I have had too replace three tires in a span of a year. Something is definitely up with this car with the front tires. I have also had some paint chip problems too.
I too have had problems with the tires on the TL. All 4 needed to be replaced within less than 30,000 kilometers.
Purchased my 2004 TL in March 2004. Tires have been a problem ever since. I have had the original Turanzas (14,000) a replacement set of Turanzas that cost me a 4 wheel alignment (17,000) and a new set of Avon Tech 550's that are now gone after 20,000 miles. Car has 56,000 miles and will be on it's 4th set of tires. Trust me, I am not a hard driver either. So after 4 sets of tires, 3 four wheel alignments and tire rotations every 5,000 miles, I doubt I will be buying another one of these.
Acura 2004 TL - it is nice to drive, but we have had problems like many of the above. The tires replaced at 16k (Acura paid for it) and brakes (they still can't get this right)
However, last night, the car was parked, but running when all the sudden it WENT INTO REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING and almost killed us because we didn't even realize it had happened until it hit the garage (it was dark). At least a thousand dollars in damage.
Has anyone else had this happen to them.
Did the shifter even move? Did it move without the shifter moving? Was the car in gear and you did not know it? My dad has left his car in gear and gotten out of the vehicle to find it driving a way. Could this have happened?
I am sure an Acura owner knows if he left it in gear. Get it to the dealer right away!
Its so incredible that everytime I make a search that of course is to buy a broken something for my 04 TL, all I see is negative comments about this 3rd Generation TL. Mines an 04. and well read my problems below.
1. Tire issues wearing out issue of course.
2. CD changer broken again. scratches my CDs, does not play CD2 CD3 etc. Ejects when it wants.
3. If the car is parked and off for a while when I start it and pull off you hear a weird noise on the driver side while slowly turning the steering wheel.
4. Acc bulbs for heated seat and shift...GONE..
5. Speakers center and left rear...DONE, DEAD.
6. Break issue of course. SUCKS.
Most of my friends are changing cars I let them drive mines and make sure they stay away from Acura. I'm so upset with this company. Biggest mistake ever. nice looks that's about it. Get a hundai probably gives less problems. O and I'm not done yet, but lets save web space...

I have 44,000 miles on my 2004 TL. At 12,000 miles, I was told I needed new tires, which I bought. Then at 27,000 miles I was told the same thing, and purchased my 2nd set of new tires. Just this week, and 44,000 miles, was told my tires were bald, and I purchased 3rd set. I rotate every 6,000 miles, and do not drive on any rough roads, peel out, etc. Just your average driver. Does anyone else have problem with having to replace tires so often?
My '04 has a lot of the typical things people are talking about:
All new tires after 20K miles.
Horn replaced twice.
Rattling parts (dash speakers, plastic around seat heater switches) constantly being replaced - the latest is center console.
Moonroof visor slides at will.
I'm looking forward to '09 design changes, but not the kinks the will have to be worked out.
Horn?? I have never heard of that? Although my 97 Accord sounds only one of the two horns.
I bought my 04 TL in may of 04 it has 47k miles and has had 4 sets of tires. The last set has lasted for 6k miles and they need replaced.3 alignments all different specs.,and acura continues to blame the tires. The tire dealers blame the car and I am frustrated. I also have a 02 RL, it is a simple, but very dependable car and we love it. I WILL REPLACE THE 04 tl, but not with another acura.
But not another RL? You make no sense.
