Faults:

Transmission has had to be replaced twice.

General Comments:

I am very concerned about this transmission problem. This is the second time I've had a new transmission installed. The car is at the dealer being repaired with the second transmission as I write this. There are numerous complaints about this very problem on the National Highway Safety and Transportation Board website. Many people have narrowly missed accidents because of this problem which increases my concern.

My lease is up in December, but we have gone over our mileage so we were going to buy the vehicle, but now I think we should be let out of our lease since this seems to be a recurring problem and also a safety issue. I've also read that the value has significantly decreased on this car because of this problem.

Faults:

The transmission hesitates when going from 3rd to 2nd at 30 miles per hour.

The tires wear unusually fast.

The leather seats are already cracking.

General Comments:

I like the overall performance and comfort, but Honda made some serious mistakes on the transmission.

Faults:

Really, nothing. One tire leaked a bit of air and I have had to keep an eye on it. Other than scheduled maintenance, I have not put a dollar into this car in 3 years and 60000 miles.

General Comments:

The car was dependable, but boring. I have zero complaints about the vehicle from a repair standpoint. It started every time I turned the key. It has excellent power (I have the "S" which is no longer available). It just was not that much fun to drive.

Faults:

Rotors replaced.

Moon Roof repaired for noise.

Control Arm replaced.

Leather is cracking.

External temperature gage gets stuck.

Front bearings replaced.

General Comments:

Before my TL-S, I owned at $16,000 Civic which was traded in at 50 K and never gave me one problem. Considering I doubled the price paid on my TL-S, I would have expected absolutely no issues from a car manufactured by...Honda. I am immensely disappointed with the never-ending issues I have had with this car. I am more dissatisfied with the fact that considering all of my negative experiences have been prior to the expiration of my warranty, not all have been covered under it.

Faults:

The cars transmission went out about 30,000 miles. Has more road noise than I would expect for a upscale sedan. I did not like the Michelin tires.

General Comments:

This car over-all was very good. Even though the transmission went out at 30,000 miles, there were no other problems. Acura took car of the transmission and it did not cost me a dime. They also extended the warranty on the transmission to 75,000 miles. The car's performance is very good. The internals are still like new (no rattles, etc). Leaving out the transmission issue, my over-all satisfaction of this car was very good and better than the previous cars I've owned.
