2010 Acura TL 4dr Sedan

| 102000 mi US $1500 |
Clutch slipping |
| 172000 mi US $3000 |
Worn cams |
| 42000 mi US $1500 |
Clutch started slipping right after I bought the car. I negotiated with the dealer that I bought the car from and had them cover as much of the cost as I could negotiate. Replacing the clutch turned out to be a $4800 (!) job, I ended up paying $1500 and the dealer covered the rest. |
| 126000 mi US $645 |
Ticking sound coming from the engine. Dealer said it was Valve Adjustments needed.50% of the noise went away (car gain more power). Still looking for the other 50% of the noise (maybe intake manifold flaps making noise) |
| 46800 mi | Rear main seal leak found. Replaced under powertrain warranty. |
| 46000 mi US $150 |
Low oil level light. Oil consumption issue (2 quarts low). Dealership claimed faulty oil sensor (per TSB). Out of warranty repair. Replaced oil sensor $150; will measure oil level in 1,000 miles at dealership to see if repairs required then. |
| 49000 mi | Unresolved oil consumption issue. Dealership refuses to examine engine without customer deposit and will not honor powertrain warranty. |
| 57000 mi | Excessive oil consumption |
| 59200 mi | New engine replacement under warranty. Rapid ticking noise upon acceleration. Persistent oil consumption. Dealership noticed computer threw cold indicative of catalytic converter failure. New catalytic converter installed. |

| 99000 mi | The car has been consuming oil (.9 quarts per 1,000 miles. It is under extended warranty, but the dealer says that up to a quart per 1,000 is considered acceptable. 4th visit for this progressively getting worse. |
| 89000 mi | Low oil light. Oil consumption test revealed car using a quart every thousand miles. Replaced all the rings, one piston rod (tech stripped screw), timing belt because service called for its replacement in 20k or so miles anyway, all gaskets. |
| 1000 mi | Three days after buying the TL I sent it to the shop for the emission system, SH-AWD system, and overall computer check. They reset the computer system. |
