| My trans. was replaced in 2003 because of a shifting problem. my car was still under warranty, however, i was told that i would have to pay for the repair. i paid for the repair and in 2006 i had the same problem. i was told that it was a recall, but when i informed mcgrath acura that i should be reimbursed, it was denied. i also complained of a clicking noise in the radio that was never looked in to when i took my car in for trans., apparently this is a common defect where the pins within the 6cd changer go bad, but i have yet to see a recall. i have also experienced problems with the bubbling michelins. i have had three blowouts and have finally replaced the tires with a different brand, which i think is unfair. i have also had problems with the brakes. i have had to replace original rotors for warping. my paint seems to be chipping really bad and it has been since original purchase. i also have had problems with the seat belt not retracting. *tr | |||

| Cracked driver's side fog lense on 2002 tl (light still works). dealer will only replace entire unit instead of lense at a cost of over $220 - ridiculous! other problems that have been fixed under warranty - cup holder lid would not operate correctly, bad shudder when applying brakes, loose sunroof. *la | |||
