So after having my first crack on the dash, I decided to go over what my car has been through regarding the most common problems for the 3rd Gen Acura TL. Knowledge of these common problems are taken from forums, social media groups, online articles, etc.
In this video, I go over what my Acura TL has been through, how I fixed those common issues, and my suggestions on what to do for having cracks on the dash...

Cracked dash, ripped seats, hanging headliner on mine lol . I bought seat covers & plan on redoing my headliner. Oh yeah I had to get both lower control arms replaced. Seems like a lot but with love & care the car is very reliable... Pearl white 07 TL Base

@@youngdex7 I got them off eBay to kinda match my seats ( beige leather). The ones I got are called 3D Luxury Car Seat Covers. I payed $83 for them also if anybody cares to know I changed the center caps too so it actually makes the TL pop more with some blacked spiked lug nuts.

The explanation I've heard of the cracked dash is that there is a metal ring around the passenger airbag. It heats up in the sun and causes the cracks.

I have an 05 TL and the lights are another common issue... if you have issues with your headlights on either side coming on and off like it’s a shortage going on please check the igniter and ballast. A lot of people would say it’s the switch or shortage in the wires. I took my car to the Acura dealership and they did the diagnostic test I replaced the ballast and igniter

I can't say unless I've seen every detail. But that sounds like a fair deal. But do expect the transmission to go out sooner, than later. And I'm guessing the 210K major service maintenance needs to be done also, considering the price

Good content CarFiend. On the synchronizer strain going into 3rd Gear, give a try with the technique of double de-clutching to match up the speeds of the two shafts in the transmission. Double de-clutching takes some learning and practice to get the timing, but when done right the gears mesh like butter. It is also good for reducing wear on the synchros and generally driving with mechanical sympathy. I have found that throttle blipping before the second de-clutching helps on my upshift 2nd to 3rd, though I've not hear anyone else calling for that blipping.

MY 2005 Acura TL Issues: -VSA/Brake Light Comes on -Headliner Falls -Cracked Dash -A/C compressor fail -A/C Condenser fail -A/C Expansion Valve fail -Control arm bushings -Automatic Transmission definitely does something weird around 3rd gear 215k Miles and she’s still going. I’ve fixed everything EXCEPT the VSA, transmission & headliner. Hopefully I can get another year or 2 out of her before I sell her and buy one of the New Acuras.

I still have my 05, not driving it much now, this generation of TL I feel isn't that reliable overall, I mean I still like it, but consider I have changed lots of things under the hood except the engine lol, let me count, transmission crap out @ 140K, there were alternator, starter, power steering pump, 2 engine mounts (this is ok, I mean all older car have mount issue), oh my passenger side engine mount bracket, the bolt stripped entirely... interior wise, sagging headliner, bluetooth parasitic drain, clock reset to 0:00, clock panel not displaying at all, dashboard crack, both tilting mirror stucked (changed 2 times already), I think that's about it LOL My plan is to wait for the right moment to get tradein credit to a plugin hybrid or EV. I think I will miss the car once I tradein... Totally personal preference, but I absolutely cannot stand dashboard cover, I honestly rather it crack slowly, I'm willing to put on the sunshade more often, or put on some UV protector, but I can't stand the look of a cover.

Dam bro. You def lucked out. Some TL's out there are in great condition still and have little/no issues. But for the majority of us, we have many of the common problems 😭

@thecarfiend11
@thecarfiend11 3 года назад
It is most definitely a TL thing. You can try to do a quick power steering flush and add OEM fluid and see if that helps, but most likely won't make steering lighter

yup, definitely some common issues. I use GM Syncromesh Friction Modified MTF to help alleviate that 3rd gear grind/pop out

If you have grinding gears, it means your synchros are worn out. Manuals from honda don't really have this issue. Probs just your car from bad shfting habit/wear.

You don’t have rear fender rust? I thought that was pretty common on the TLs
@thecarfiend11
@thecarfiend11 3 года назад
I actually do have rear fender rust. But I don't see that as a 3G TL common issue. I see that as a common issue with MANY cars, specifically if you live in the salt belt. Every single car that I have owned has fender rust issues =[
