And from the Acura TL community 2003 to 2006 have horrible transmissions. Everybody I know and talk to that have a TL that falls into those years, have had their transmissions either rebuilt or replaced. And nobody ever talks about it.

They stated it is my blue tooth, which hadn't been working, that is draining my battery and they have seen it in my model and year.

I look at the dash, I look at the cars coming from the back and side, and I slowly creep along and immediately put my hazards on. Now I have to get myself from the left lane and maneuver in to the right with people coming up that can't yet see my distress signal. …”
