So, I'm looking at buying a 2012 SH AWD with 80k on it... that whole string scares me to death.
It's also a beast to try read through. Is there a cliff notes edition of what is going on here somewhere on the site? What is the solution, does it work, is Acura covering it for all, or just some owners? I had a paint issue with an Odyssey, and they only covered it if you were the original owner. I was the second.
Do I want to avoid the car altogether due to this issue? I've had to do the rings on a 3.5 in my Accord...and my 2012 Ody needs them for the second time... I'd rather not have to deal with that out of pocket again. That hurt.
Maybe I will get the GS350 after all. I'm kinda wearing thin on Honda. I've owned a LOT of their products and had great success with them up until about the 2009 model year. Then things went to pot it seems.
Are the 2012 TLs worth owning? I had an 05 TL and LOVED it until a bad transmission repair killed it off (long unrelated story) wanting to get back into the TL but maybe not if they are going to be a nightmare to own. Are there other things I should be aware of when looking at the vehicle?
