So here's an update on the heater issue for all you who are interested.
I took my car to the dealer on Monday. They kept it for a couple of days and told me there was nothing wrong with the climate system and advised the technician to show me how to work the climate system. I sat down with the technician and showed him exactly what was going on and he agreed that there was a problem. There's basically a problem with the "air flapper" mechanism that flaps in either direction to blend the hot and cold air. The flapper adjusts according to the temperature set by the user. So I told the Service guy (the guy that writes you up and puts stuff in the computer) that even his technician agreed there was a problem. The service guy told me that they have 3 other TLs with the same problem and that they have actually called someone from Acura to come and take a look at the problem. I told him that it seems like a recall and he said that they won't treat it as a recall until they get enough people complaining about it (isn't 4 cars with the same problem at one dealership enough???). Anyways, my car's been there for 4 days now and I'm still waiting on it. At least they've given me a 2008 TSX as a loaner so I'm not complaining. But I miss my TL and I hope they figure this thing out soon cause according to the dealership, there's no fix for the problem yet. It's all up to the Acura guy. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.
On a side note, the 2008 TSX is a lot of fun to drive. It's got decent power, GREAT handling and I feel like the bass from the stereo is much deeper than the TL.
