Just called Acura

My dealership is gonna look at my car for...

-weak braking/vibration in steering wheel braking,
-hesistation with gear shifting (I have an auto 03),
-cracking paint on the hood,
-moonroof rattle.

hope nothing major is wrong, and i hope i am not out of the car for too long. i am getting a loaner (maybe an 04 TL i hope i hope i hope, sure in my dreams)

if i am coasting on the freeway about 40 mph (i drive through a lot of traffic) and i want to slow down or speed up the car will hesistate before anything happens, I have never experienced that with any other car that i have had. It just feels weird

well if u hit the gas, the hesistation is called downshifting.

I know that renegade, i might be over-reacting about it but like i said it just doesn't feel like the normal downshift time. I don't know how to explain it any better.

and also it's not like flooring it when traffic clears (cause traffic never clears over here) so it's not hard accelleration. It's more like applying light-moderate pressure on the gas pedal...no response...then it goes. I would understand if i were going from coasting around 35-40 mph to WOT then slight hesistation to downshifting

I hope they don't dick me around with the paint. I know acura/honda has shitty paint to begin with.

I wish i had a digicam to post what it looks like.

I called acura of scottsdale and am taking my 99 TL in for hesitation shifting. It has started shifting weird. My brake lights also don't work so it might be electrical...
