problem #2

TL 6-cyl

Car family owned since new and serviced. The front right subframe (rear side of the two parts of the subframe cradle) rotted completely thru (passenger side) leaving hole thru and leaving control arms, steering rack detached. The rest of the frame is rot free, just this one area which is completely rotted away. A google search shows that this is not uncommon with this model Acura TL and some Honda Accord.

problem #1

TL 6-cyl

The front right side of the sub frame has excessive corrosion (rot) and needed to be replaced. I am the original owner and the car has been entirely dealer maintained and thoroughly inspected frequently. I discovered the corrosion while changing the front right tire. Dealer informed me the car was unsafe to drive as the front right tire would eventually collapse or fall off. The problem was reported to Acura and Acura would not provide assistance due to the age of the vehicle. The car was repaired and I am in possession of the rotted sub-frame. Other than the rotted sub-frame, the car does not exhibit any rust or corrosion.
