[QUOTE="low03tb, post: 13283800, member: 57294"] The TL's are nice outside, but holy moly they've got a load of problems that are manufacturing errors. These are problems I've had [I][U]just with mine[/U][/I]: Complete tranny failure at 110,xxx miles Dashboard cracking horribly Navigation failure 3rd/4th Gear Pressure switch failure APP sensor failure O-ring failure All engine mounts were completely busted at 103,xxx ...and the list goes on. Sure some of these can happen to any vehicle, but the number of transmission failures is crazy. Dash cracking due to incorrect airbag design. Navigation failure due to the disk becoming scratched (...and then they want $100+ for a new disk EACH YEAR). Many of these Acura has even admitted they messed up and will pay for some of the repair, but there are ridiculous terms and they'll only pay a VERY small amount I hope you have better luck than I have. I doubt you're aware of what maintenance the previous owner did, but I HIGHLY suggest changing your 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches (unless you've got really low mileage) and changing the ATF.
