Re: Check CR Reliability History Charts [ivan_99]
Written by: 2233 on Aug 23, 2010 11:32:51 AM
Our 3 transmissions that failed were automatic. I don't know about the 2006s though. I agree with the poster who said that all brands have their problems, quirks and nuances. How the manufacturer resolves these problems is what is crucial. I complained for 5 years about the transmission in my TL, Acura only performed a jet kit quick service of some sort. That's it. Complained constantly about the other 2 also ... Read More

Trust me, I've had much better customer service with Infiniti. I guess it comes down to the individual dealership so this can vary from city to city. All I know is that we had 3 Acuras and all 3 had the transmissions go out. That's my experience. Around 2003, my brother and I went shopping for an MDX for him. We asked about the reported transmission problems in the TLs from ... Read More

Get your facts straight before you go bad mouthing an entire brand. To anyone else, if you get an Acura model 2006+, you'll have little to no worry about transmission issues. Very very reliable vehicles. I just turned 100K miles on my '05 TL and the only repair other than routine stuff was a recall for a temperature sensor. No other problems.

I guess you neglected to check the Acura transmission problem section on Edmunds. There are many posts about transmission and clutch problems in 2006 vehicles, not just 2005 and prior models. Remember, it took several years before the transmission problems surfaced regarding the transmission failures of TLs from 1999-2005. Now the problems with the 2006 transmissions are surfacing. Next year we may hear about problems from 2007. Acura's customer service and ... Read More

Check CR Reliability History Charts
Written by: smarty666 on Aug 23, 2010 4:47:49 AM
The major/widespread transmission issues with Acura vehicles ended in either 2005 or the 2004 model year. People with 2006+ model years are not running into transmission issues like you guys are trying to imply. Go and check CR's reliability history charts for all the Acura models and you'll see that. Starting with the 2006 model years, the transmissions got above avg or much above avg ratings. If you look at the ... Read More

Re: How much would I save in next year? [lax29]
Written by: thelinux on Nov 5, 2008 3:02:18 PM
I bought my 2006 accord about $4000 off from MSRP when they had 2007 model in the market. Can I expect about the same price drop with 2009 TL next year? Or is it a whole different story with Acura?

Written by: unipure on Oct 21, 2008 1:48:01 PM
This is what I got from a Dealer in N. California. The saving should atleast double by Thanksgiving if you want 2009. I had purchased 2006 TL in Nov 2005. It was same story. I test drove both 2008 S & 2009 and my preference is 2009. My 2006 got totaled, so I am in market for a new one. 2009 Acura TL Base $35,715.00 MSRP (Window Sticker Price) $34,145.00* Sale ...

Yes, that was for a new 2008. I'm shopping both Stevens Creek and Sunnyvale. You are thinking along the same lines as me. If a new 08' goes for $28k and change why can't I get a 2007 with less than 20k miles for $25K or less (or at least one with NAV)? I took a test drive last night at Sunnyvale and asked what about an 07' and the sales ... Read More
