What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 acura tl. While driving 55 MPH, an abnormal noise was heard coming from the front of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fourth and fifth clutch plates failed and needed to be replaced. Another independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
My 2004 acura tl has a consistent vibration problem when the car is running between 50 and 60 MPH. The vibration seems to come from the front of the car, and it is not present when the car is running at speeds less than 50 MPH or greater than 60 MPH. I reported the problem to my dealer and they assured me that it was a problem with the tires. They replaced the tires, but the problem persists.
