What does this mean?
I wanted to know if anyone else here has had the same symptoms that I have had the past couple of days. Here it goes.
While driving to work in the morning the car is running fine and shifting fine, no vibrations no abnormal sounds. I am on a back road with lots of zig zag turns and the car is running fine and handling fine, I am not going fast enough for the car to slide or skid and no hard braking. After the strech of zig zags, the road straightens out and becomes boring again. About a mile into the boring part I look at the dash and both the VSA light and the orange triangle light are both solid lit. I press the VSA button, but it did not shut off the lights. I pull over and shut off the car and restart it. The lights are off and the car acts normal. Another 2-3 miles down the road the light comes on again solid. I pull in to work and forget about it. Then driving to work again this morning the lights come on again solid.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Is it the tranny going bad? It feels fine
My car is an '01 cl-s fully stock with 26000 miles on it

VSA module was replaced and the car was returned to me. The transmission was still slipping so the tranny was replaced. Overall it took about a week and a half from the first visit to completion. It took them 3 visits before actually fixing the problem. Oh yeah, the guy at Ardmore Acura actually said that acura transmissions are pretty good and hardly ever fail. Well I think he is a liar!

Depends... Maybe he came from Peugeot (my sister's 504 needed 5 trannies before they gave up)…

Man, there has really been a lot of dead trannies over the past week or two! Maybe it's just because mine died and I've been paying more attention.

Your tranny is going, mine started this at 800 miles and I was babying the car, I never took it over 4000RPM. I took mine in to the dealer and was told it had codes from the tranny but nothing they could fix. Next it will start to slip.
