Anybody have problem wit their T.L ??

I heard about transmission problem, leather ripping, and sqeaks in the car. Do anyone have this problem?

[IXLR8TL3.2]

yes, transmissions are really bad, i believe it is the 3rd puck clutch. anyway honda has extended the warranty on the vehicles affected, they are now 7-year 100,000 mile. many stories have surfaced about people on highways doing 80 and the tranny kicks down into 2nd gear and the shit hits the fan, no accidents yet. but yes the 99-present TL's do have extended warranties now. squeaking, yes, again, horrible the sunroof rattles badly, the lumbar support lever squeaks against the center console, a bit disappointing for such a claimed upper-luxury class automobiles <cough> glorified accord <cough>. but i still like. never heard anything about the leather ripping

i heard everything rattles in dat car. wen i was sitting in da front passenger seat, i heard da seat rattles and dash board. What is happening to HONDA?!?!?!?! Tou know wat is funny. I have heard a lot of problems with the TL , CL , and MDX but i havent heard about any problem with the RL and the RSX. WTF!!!!!!!

[IXLR8TL3.2]

Yeah it does, its not really the exterior that rattles, its not really the interior, its all the sh*t inbetween, hardware, its cheap really. Its amazing b/c i used to think so highly of them, now i think that the TL is really just a glorified honda accord, honestly. well the warranty is for the MDX, TL (including type-s), and the CL (including type-s), they all share the same transmission with the automatic/sportshift option. well there aren't many RL owners on my TL board, and i haven't heard any problems with them either, the RSX is still too new, but i think its good to go too. wanna try something, roll down your window the whole way or part of they way then close your door, not very solid (at least mine isn't), my friends nissan sentra se-r spec-v sounds solid as a rock, i couldn't believe it, and he didn't pay close to what i payed. its getting bad

The extended warranty on the transmission is nice but!!!! I lease a 01 TL for 39 months. I won't be buying the car at the end of the lease. Very disappointed.

No, i dink it is da year 99 and on. just go to www.acura-tl.com if u go to T.L Discussion, i will find about all the members there complain about the car even though some of them dont even abuse their cars and still get problems.just go to dat site and ask.

[IXLR8TL3.2]

yes, its true, seriously.. its inevitable. it has nothing to do with how you treat your car. the transmission will go on you. the 3rd puck clutch is bad, i beat the crap out of my TL and i'm doing ok at 34,000 miles, there are guys that have less than 20,000 miles and they drive it easy and they have already had their tranny die. there are some guys on the site who have there replacement tranny's giving them problems. i'm a little unimpressed for the acura price but the accord quality.. we should have just bought an accord

[JudieV]

We had our first transmission go clunk in April..........we are now on number four!!<as of yesterday> This is a bit much..........NOT!!! The car was great up to 25 thousand miles...........but since then/............one transmission after the other!

Their acting like this is new & novel..........please email if your having the same problem!

I dont know what you guys are talking about, My TL is the bomb. Its a 99 and has 72 thousand miles on it, and nothing major has happened to it. I love it. "Glorified Accord", Umm yes it does use some of the same parts, but Honda has done a fine job making the TL a Luxury car. Why do you think all the magazines, and every reviews, rate them so highly. All cars have there problems, but you are only hearing from the people that had problems and so they go on the internet and tell other people about there problems. I like telling people how great my car is. Best thing I ever bought.

[robdial1]

The 99 year wasn't a problem. It came up in 00, 01 and 02. The more miles we put on the 01 Acura TL we have the worse it feels. I just hope we make it past the lease term of 39 months. Probably will turn it in a few months before and get a Lexus.

[CaptainMatt]

Actually the 99 Tranny has been known to malfunction, Acura knows it has weak Bearings in it, and There might soon be a recall of it, if Acura can get there act together, but its highly unlikely.

My transmission blew about a month ago. I got my warranty extension on the the tranny 7 yrs 100,000miles. After getting it fixed I'm still havin problems with it. Thank God my lease is up in 4months. Also my engine block broke, TCS had to be replaced, and passenger side airbag was had to be fixed because the light kept goin on. After everything was fixed I'm still havin problems with each of em.
