Common problems on high-mileage TLs
- Electronic power steering (EPS) module failure (2008–2014) — owner reports between 30,700 and 109,000 miles
- Excessive engine oil consumption (2010–2014) — owner reports between 123,000 and 123,000 miles
Most-reported NHTSA complaint areas across all Acura TL model years: air bags (196), engine (133), equipment (126).
What keeps any high-mileage car going is the maintenance in its owner's manual schedule — fluids, filters and wear items — so ask for the service records of the specific car.

Sources & method
- Mileage shares: CarWhere analysis of 1,140 live US used-car listings from licensed vehicle-data providers, captured 2026-11-03. Aggregate counts only — no individual listings are stored. Listings without an odometer reading are excluded.
- “10+ years old” means model year 2016 or older. Comparing cars of similar age is the fairer test: a model with mostly new inventory will show few high-mileage examples no matter how durable it is.
- Median miles by model year: median odometer of each used model year on the market (minimum 30–40 listings per year), from CarWhere's live-listing price studies.
- Reliability: CarWhere analysis of NHTSA owner complaints (Office of Defects Investigation) and recall records. Complaint rates per 1,000 vehicles sold are shown where sales data exists.
- Listings show cars that are still on the road and for sale, so this is a survivor sample — it tells you how far these cars commonly go, not the share that were scrapped earlier.
