Purchased my new 2012 shawd Acura Tl advance in March of 2012. The car had less than 100 miles when purchased and currently has 5k miles (January 2013). The car vibrates when driving at speeds between 40 and 80 mph. It feels like the tires are flat spotted or wheels are out of balance. The wheels and tires have been checked and confirmed by the dealer on 2 seperate ocasions as ok. The dealer classified this vibration as a "vehicle characteristic. " I'm worried it is the sign of a major issue they dont want to deal with.

Was driving on interstate 295 at 60mph. Pushed down gas to accelerate past the car on my left and switched lanes. Car made grinding noise and then acted as if in neutral. I checked to ensure the car was still in drive. I kept trying to accelerate but the engine just revved, then the check engine light came on. The car behind me almost hit me due to the sudden lack of acceleration. I pulled to the breakdown lane and experimented with accelerating slowly. Once it shifted to 3rd gear, I lost all acceleration. I would have to turn the car off and back on to utilize 1st and 2nd gear. I had the car towed to my mechanic. The transmission had blown. I called Acura to see if they would be willing to help pay for the cost since they had extended the warranty on the transmission for several years because they must have known it was defective out of the factory. It was about 8 months past the warranty expiration. Acura would not offer to pay for the replacement cost. My mechanic rebuilt the transmission and the car now drives fine.

We own a 2001 Acura 3. 2tl, which we bought in 2006 with 43k miles on it. It currently has a little more than 91,000 miles on it. About a month ago, we started experiencing transmission trouble - very sluggish shifting, and slippage between 2nd and 3rd gears, and heavy shaking/vibration of the car (until then it has been a fantastic vehicle). I googled it and found out that it was under a recall. However, when I called the local Acura dealer, we were told we were beyond the 7 yr window, even though we have less than the 100k limit on the warranty.

Vehicle vibration at constant speeds in the range a) 30-40 mph; and b) 50-60 mph; this vibration in the vehicle creates an aversion to drive with the vibration and therefore exceed these speed limits although the local speed limits posted may be lower.
