I got a TL 04 with 210,0000 miles and it runs great 👍

I've dealt with almost every issue here except the rust and clogged EGR valve. Like the guy says, don't bother replacing the hands free link and just disconnect it. It's very simple. After 190k miles it's still a great running car.

Sadly (?) I had the Hands Free unplugged for my '06 TL. I don't make phone calls while driving, and it was dragging the battery down whenever the car sat for more than a week, so I just had it unplugged.

There was a class action lawsuit where Acura is now replacing the Bluetooth unit in the MDX and TL. Check with your dealer. I personally can't be bothered to replace it. I never used it once in 14 years of driving it.

Had my Acura for 2 years, passed it on to sister ( for a few months) and now my 16 year older brother owns. Such a nice reliable car

The 07 to 08 models Honda fixed the automatic transmission problems and the type S was the only car to have a manual transmission during those years 2 years and they are EXTREMELY rare

This video was really really helpful, I was looking for videos about the Acura TL and couldn’t find anything but this video answered all my questions👍🏽👍🏽

Had mine 17 years. 2004. Great car, still running strong. 👍

The automatic transmission problems were resolved in 2007 with the introduction of the transmission from the RL. I have an 2008 automatic with over 200,000 miles on it and the transmission works very smoothly. You just have to make sure you do the regular maintenance of replacing the transmission fluid and you shouldn't have any problem with an '07 or '08. Also, keeping the lip on the wheel well free of dirt that retains moisture should take care of your rust issues there. I take a firm toothbrush and clean up underneath there.

'07 Type S, 6MT, Morrocan Red Pearl. 170k mi. Replaced MT (60k mi, under warranty), water pump (130k mi), front brake calipers (frozen) and rotors (160k mi). BT module a continual problem, I replaced original ($450 with dealer reprogramming) but ended up pulling it and putting in an aftermarket unit. Nav unit not glitzy but works fine. An awesome daily driver. Hope you love yours as much as I do mine. Thanks for the video.

For the transmission the '04 to '06 models used the same automatic transmission from the '99 to 2003 TL same with the 99 to 2004 Honda Odyssey those automatic transmissions never failed to fail If you're going to buy one with an automatic look at the '07 to '08 model because for 07 to 08 Acura did a refresh And they Got rid of the TL's automatic transmission entirely and plopped in the Acura RL's automatic transmission That's also why the Acura RL's 3.5 l V6 also got plopped in to the TL thus we got the Type-S model The RL's automatic transmission is leagues better due to the fact that it's a much beefier transmission and is much better engineered 07 to 08 hadn't significantly less automatic transmission failures

I’m not sure why people hate on the automatics, I’ve had mine since 2009 and while my dash has cracks, I’ve had to replace sensors, and even had issues with the radio. My automatic transmission has been solid. Car has over 240,000 miles and keeping up with fluids and filters has kept it out of the shops and on the roads. But over all good video. Edit: I wrote the above over a year ago. Since then I've fully upgraded my suspensions (original owner had Tien front and rears) but didnt bother with any camber kits. So I invested in Skunk2 upper wis

I have this car and it’s been 7 years. To be honest it’s definitely got it’s troubles but if you do all the engine maintainer properly it runs smooth. I replace almost everything major all at once, put some koni struts, Tesla style Navi, and I drive it calmly with quiet continental DSW tires. The car runs amazing and so quietly.

With the Tesla style navi do you lose the steering wheel controls or how has it held up over time?

I’ve had my 04 going on 8 years. I’ve done power steering pump/ o rings and have the notorious cracked dash of course. Only other thing so far I’ve fixed is the A/C quit and was a simple relay under the hood. I’m a little over 252k miles now in a automatic and can say I trust it to go across the country anytime. Never had a check engine light. I will say I’ve had the transmission do the “flutter” which only happens in overdrive (shift completely out) at speeds of 45-55. Knowing the car, I keep enough foot on the pedal to keep it out of overdrive at that speed but if it does, simply let off then accelerate again. LOVE my quirky car. My brother has the best kept Acura secret most don’t know about. The 06 Acura RL AWD with 430k on it. Every light you can think of is on the dash lol but I want his car too

There is actually a fix for the vibration in 5th gear. Lookup acura service bulletin 05-017, it involves installing a dampner on the underbody.

Interesting review! I continue to love my 2006 Acura TL with 6-speed manual transmission. Since it has been garaged 100% of the time, the paint, headlights, taillights, dash, etc. remain PERFECT. With fewer than 100,000 miles, I believe I can go _ANOTHER_ 100k with this car. Your problems and solutions seem logical; thanks for the vid.

I have a 2004 Acura TL automatic with 275k miles and still drives like new, I did get the dash crack issues and the handsfree system also was causing a battery drain.. other then that car has been super reliable and good.. perfect daily car.

READ THIS FIRST!! Updates: *Power Steering Pump @ 1:40 I forgot to describe which pump. There are actually 6 mounts, but the 6th mount that wasn’t shown doesn’t typically go bad as often as the other 5, just wanted to clarify that. The HP changed from 270 to 258 because Acura decided to change the way they rated the HP. Regarding the transmission issue, the 07-08 TLs aren't nearly as bad. However, many owners who have the 07-08 models report/complain about Trans failure. Which is mainly happens if the owner fails to replace the pressure sensors (there are three) when they are experiencing transmissions symptoms, then that could destroy your transmission. If I missed an issue, post them below!

Wow, I have been the original owner for my 06 and haven't had most of those issues. Only dashboard which I did the mat first then got coverlay which work out much better. Also the Bluetooth. Yes, get a stick shift! So much faster too, smoke all tl including type s auto.

Have you replaced your pressure switches yet? Might not be a bad idea!

My 08 Type-S I got 2 years ago has a massive habit of burning through mounts.. think I'm on the 3rd set with it knocking around again.. I've tried finding upgraded options but still can't seem to find a good set. Only other thing is the ventilated seats in mine that aren't built strong enough to withstand normal things like leaning on the seat to reach something in the back quickly or a knee to the bottom of the front seat to grab something from the passenger seat. Had I known before I wouldn't have the holes I do. Otherwise though, this car is so damn reliable and I can always drive with confidence and have a hell of a time whether a quick trip down the street or heading further out. I'll even find myself taking long ways regularly to get more drive time! I also personally like the simplicity of it. I have a late gen smartphone I have connected through AUX that takes care of anything the car can't. The sound is okay enough not to have to get things aftermarket for improvement and getting back to the driving. It is incredible how hard this car hits 2nd. I got it with some cheap wheels and they didn't even last 10k.. so that was where I put more money next time (get the warranty! I've saved myself $$$$s) Due to some city dings and dents I'll probably be selling mine only to get the next best silver and untouched one I find. These are for sure one the forgotten timeless cars that will build value very soon.

Car is still running and driving today by a friend of a friend as a daily driver. Maintain them and if will live up to the honda name (in my opinion)

Another thing to note is in the 2004 all the way up to the 2008s is the a/c water drain tube up under the dash slowly disconnects over time and drips water onto the ecu when using a/c

You’re on point on all of them except the trans part. Firstly, the manual version of TL is a rarity to even find. It’s uncommon to find a decent auto version for sale, yet alone a manual one. second, the auto trans from 07-08 TLs uses the RL’s 5 speed auto and its a complete upgrade from the 04-06 year trans. Their failure rate is rare compared to 04-06, and they’re much more reliable therefore they shouldn’t be lumped in the same as the TL trans of 2004-2006.

@@DanielSagun That should be normal practice for ANY AT. Anyone that tells you a transmission never needs its fluid changed is full of shit and should never work on a car again. I started following a regimen of changing my trans fluid every other oil change since I go 6-7500 miles between, so every 15K I replace a good portion of fluid. It's close enough to a 30K full replacement that my fluid stays nice and red, and the only real shavings are on the bolt magnet!

Need a new transmission for mine. Please share me the details on your upgraded transmission (price, place of purchase, etc).

btw guys the 3.2 TL did not have 270hp like acura claimed originally. actually 258

My friend has a 2004 TL with the automatic, the 04 model year was the worst for this generation of TL, but his car has 190k miles and the Transmission is finally starting to slip in 1st. Not bad for the transmission being the weak point.

06 160K just replaced transmission to a JDM one with 63K miles. Drives fine now.

Other problems the leather seats are prone to cracking and ripping extremely common problem another thing headliners like to fall due to age and mainly heat Also that check gas cap light constantly pops up That's due to the evap purge solenoid on the side of the intake manifold going bad The fix go to a junkyard and find a Denzo purge solenoid that was made in Japan The ones that were made in Mexico were the ones that failed The Japanese ones rarely failed

275k miles automatic transmission, acura TL 2004.. the transmissions are fine as long as you do the transmission fluid changes...

Where is the link for the HFL?

I have a vhs and e brake light on at all times. Any ideas?

Does the tsx have the same issues ?

Just got a 08 TLS auto I hope everything goes well

Check the radiator, under the car there are 2 transmission lines that go into the bottom of the radiator. If there’s rust replace the radiator.

I just bought an 2006 auto, it’s my first car.

I like the gen before 04

I'm thinking about buying a automatic 2005 Acura TL

If I have 101k miles on the car is it worth to get a manual swap?

I drive a auto 05 tl with 250k miles haven’t messed up yet given I do take care of her

did u ever change trans fluid

_thank youuuuuu_

So I’m up in the air about purchasing a 2008 TL 3.2 or a 2010 Honda Accord EX-L v6 sedan. Both are close to 140k and both 2 owner cars. Which do you think would be more reliable and Last longer engine and Trans wise. I maintain Repairs by the user manual. Routine maintenance if you will.

What did you decide on?

I’m thinking of getting an ‘06 TL. The fully loaded one with the touchscreen inside. It’s got 110k miles and the owner changed out the trans fluid 30k miles ago. I’m really nervous about the transmission lasting. I want a car that will last me at least 5 years, without having to put in too much money aside from regular maintenance. Would this be a good buy?

How much should a very good condition manual type s with 238k miles go for? I see one for sale going for $6800. Seems a lot even for an acura. Was thinking about persuading the seller to lower it to $6k-5500. What yall think?

At the very least, that more than half its life. Depending where you are located, I think that sounds like what people are pricing them at.

I really want a 2008 Acura TL for my first car but the prices.

Just like any kind of vehicle if you don't maintain it there will be problems . Alot of the problems can be found on a ton of different cars .
