Hey guys, I just have a quick question you all may be able to help me with. We bought our TL new in 2007. It's a base. It has been treated with respect, and adult driven from day 1. Most of its life has been garage kept. It now has 79,000 miles on the clock, and still looks nearly brand new.
Here's the problem...
- lower control arm bushings bad @ 67,000 miles
- oil leak (timing belt tensioner) @ 69,000 miles
- power steering pump replacement @ 69,000 miles
- a/c compressor going out @ 78,000 miles
- alternator replaced @ 79,000 miles
This is all within 12,000 miles.
Does this seem excessive to you all, or is this par for the course with a $37,000 luxury car? I honestly feel that if I had purchased an IS300 I would not be having these issues.
I have been in contact with the service manager at the dealership where we purchased the car, and I'm currently compiling information for him, and all previous Acura/Honda vehicles we have owned (brand loyalty) to see if I can get something done about the LCA and A/C compressor. If not, I'm moving to Lexus.
So, your thoughts, are these issues reasonable for this type of car, with this miles?
