I have a 2004 TL (actually it's the wife's
) It's a 6spd/navi, Karen has about 12,000 miles on it and we have 2 problems.
The first is a really strange hesitation/bucking at low throttle. It happens in any gear, and when you punch it, it goes away. Our Acura dealer had it for a week and said, "Without another 6spd around we can't compare it, but we do feel it too". I think that was a bunch of bull. Oh well, unfortunately, my wife and I have way too busy of work schedule to be jerking around at the dealer so we have just had to live with it. At NSXPO I was speaking to one of the guys from Comptech, interestingly enough he said he likes the TL 6spd, but Acura better come up with a fix for that damn hesitation. I couldn't believe he has experienced the same issue. He went on to tell me they believe that Acura made the flywheel too heavy on the 6spds, and the excessive inertia is creating the feeling of hesitation. Hmmm, makes sense especially since when I floor it the problem goes away.
The second problem started happening about 2 weeks ago, Karen said she heard a sound while driving and she thought the tire was coming off. I immediately told her to pull over and check the lugs, everything was OK. I checked the car later that day and sure enough there is a strange noise coming from the right rear of the car, but it's not a mechanical noise. It sounds like something is loose in the door, it's rattling all over the place
If I had to guess it sounds like a clip holding the cable from the window regulator broke and the cable is flapping around.
Looks like I have to some how find the time to take it down to the dealer.
BTW....What was the problem regarding the Brembos, because when our TL was at the dealer for a week, my brakes weren't even touched
just have to sneak 1 picture in here
