Seven problems related to manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe have been reported for the 1998 Acura TL. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own an Acura 2. 5 Tl model year 1998. I was informed by dealer last year that there was an exhaust manifold leak in the engine. The dealer quoted $2000 to fix the problem. I have not had it fixed so far, but I fear that the exhaust fumes were infiltrating the cabin, and we were breathing exhaust fumes when in the car. Upon further investigation I found that this problem was also reported widely in earlier model years.
Auto technician has determined that 1998 Acura 2. 5 Tl has a cracked manifold. Same vehicle from 1995-97 has been mandated by NHTSA to have this repaired by manufacturer. I would like my vehicle year to be included in this mandate.
Part b to odi# 10106272 forgot to note that exhaust comes into the vehicle from the fresh air intake and gives me headaches on long trips.
Exhaust system on my 1998 Acura 2. 5 Tl has a crack in the exhaust manifold. I've been told the manufacturer replaced this on the 96 & 97 Tl's but will not for the 1998. I understand from research there were no changes to the body style or engine between the 96 -98 so why won't they cover the 98?.
Engine manifold developed a crack. As a result, vehicle produced an extreme loud noise. Manifold replaced. Trunk leaks when it rains.
Exhaust system on the 1998 Acura 2. 5 Tl. I have had to have the O2 sensor replaced and now as told the exhaust manifold is cracked. I was aldo told by the dealer that there have been a number of cases were the manifold cracked. If this is a problem that you see repeated in a particular vehicle is it not fairly safe to say there is a problem from the manufacture? what can be done to save consumers the expense of about $1200. 00 to repair what seems obvious to be a manufacturer defect with the exhaust system?.
Crack in exhaust manifold.
