general problems of the 2004 Acura TL

Car stopped working three days after I purchased it.

16 y/o driving and stopped at a traffic light. He attempted to go when the light turned green, heard a pop, engine was revving but the car was not moving. It was acting as if it was in neutral. Luckily a police car was right there and they helped him push it to a parking lot. This car has 99k miles on it. He almost got hammered by the car behind him. This is a transmission issue and we had absolutely no warning and has been driving and servicing this car with no issues. There are a lot of info online with transmission issues in these year/model cars. This put my son in extreme danger.

I have a defective dashboard in my Acura Tl. The dashboard is cracking. One of the crack pieces popped out and flew into my eye while driving. I almost rear-ended someone. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. There needs to be a recall on all dashboards. 2. I can not see through my review mirror. The top half is light grey and the lower half is blacked out/tinted. A rearview mirror is needed to drive safely and I can not see out of mine. It is very difficult to use. I am unsafe trying to use it. 3. Cracked seats. The cracked seats are cutting my legs and my passenger's legs. With the way the world is today, we can not drive around in cars with cracked seats. This is hazardous to our health. There heighten the chances of spreading diseases by exchanging blood and body fluids through the cuts. The cracking of the seats is not safe.

The dashboard on 3rd generation Acura Tl has a design defect to where they will crack all over. In the event of a crash which results in a passenger-side dashboard airbag deployment, the dashboard can rip uncontrollably and send shards of rubber flying at everyone's face in the car and prevent the airbag from deploying properly. This is a very well known problem with this generation of Acura Tl and the dealership refuses to address as a warrantied safety concern.

Transmission is going out an a lot of people say after 200,000 miles Acura Tl the 2004 transmissions start to go out which mines is doing now what can I do this is a know problem with 2004-2006 Acura Tl.

There is a very common issues going on with these Acura from 2000 up to 2008. With transmission going bad. I research it and found out with every shop and people online having transmission break down with those Acura Tl 2000 up to 2005. Please can someone investigate this. There should be a recall for this at some point. The stop accelerating while I was driving it on the highway. That was a very big safety issue for me.

Car turned off and would not start back. Security light flashes. Will not change our of park. Engineers turns over but will not fire. Fuel pump will not come on.

Brake pedal feels spongy and reduces stopping power due to air in the brake lines requiring replacement of the vsa modulator. (2004-06). I researched this online, after noticing my breaks were soft and less effective over the past few times I drove. They want to charge 2. 6k to repair the module, despite them clearly having issues in the past. I'm hoping you will issue a recall so we can get reimbursed for this defective product which is a safety issue few can afford.

There was no accident, my dashboard split where one of the airbags is located.

Rear view mirror began to discolor, changes colors, and continues to make various formations within the glass. Additionally, the mirror has clouded. In researching the issue, internet articles and the dealers indicate that the mirror contains gas and fluids that diminish glare at night, but fails due to heat within the vehicle. If I do not remove and replace the mirrror, the mirror supposedly will start to leak corrosive fluids onto the interior portions of the vehicle and the mirror itself has the potential to explode. So, we have a known issue; a non-functioning rear view mirror; and a part that has the potential to injure vehicle occupants. . .

My 2004 Acura Tl was parked during an ice storm in raleigh, nc, last week. When I returned to my car and started it on Wednesday, January 12, 2011, the windshield wipers would not come on. I checked the fuses and did not find a problem there. I brought my car to the dealer for oil change, brake pads, and to check the wipers this morning. I looked on this website and found out there had been a recall in 2008 of the windshield wiper motor. When I called the dealer, they informed me that the recall service had already been performed on my vehicle in 2008. It seems to me that something else is wrong if the motor has failed again. This is costing me about $380 and am wondering if there is anything I can do to recoup the money for this repair. Is it not likely that this problem is related to the previous problem for which the car was recalled? there was no problem with the windshield wipers prior to my trip, and the car sat in the same spot from Saturday night until Wednesday morning.

The problem started with one split line on the left middle side of my dashboard. I thought nothing of it, because it looked like part of the unit. However, as time went by, more splits occurred in similar areas and is still continuing to spread across the whole dash . It has gotten progressively worse and when I contacted the dealer, because of the expired warranty, they want me to shell out over $300. 00 for repairs. I have gone to other websites where consumers with my car had similar issues with their dashboard. I believe this to be a defect in the plastic which appears over time. My vehicle is garage kept and the dash is covered when parked in the sun. Although, this is not a serious priority, Acura should readdress the issue in good faith with it's customers. I know there must be many more consumers out there with the same problem. As a matter of fact, my neighbor has the same car and told me he has also acquired splits on his dashboard.
