Guage Cluster Lit Up Like An Xmas Tree!!!
Okay so my 02 ABP TL-S passed 30k and it was infected with the tranny bug. So they gave me a new Tranny, Torque converter and Computer.
Last Night I am driving and all of sudden my gauge cluster lights up. The following was lit up:
VSA TRIANGLE
VSA LIGHT
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
D5 WAS FLASHING
The serious issue is that when I was in D5 I could floor the gas and the car would not go faster than 25 mph. i had to shift it myself using D1-D4 to make it go faster and could not use D5.
Anyone had this problem?

I would say you either have some serious mechanical issue, or you got another infected tranny. I would definitely have the car checked out immediately. If you bring the car into the dealer without a scheduled appointment, they should take your car and give you a loaner car. I would probably say you shouldn't drive the car passed 25 MPH if that's what it's limiting you too. These computers are pretty advanced, and if it detects a serious issue, it will disable the ability to go over 25 MPH. I've heard a lot of stories about ppl's trannies locking up, and throwing them nearly through the windshield. Chances are, the car limits you to only 1st gear for that reason.
Get this issue checked out immediately.

If it's the tranny the dealer won't give you a loaner car they will rent you one (thats what my dealer does anyway)
Definately sounds like something is farked up with the new tranny. It wouldn't surprise me if its another messed up one.

Okay so I took it in. Had it towed. They ran out of loaners and rented me a Pontiac Grand Prix from Hertz. They said it is going to take awhile to diagnose it. I think it is funny that my car is ****ing up right aeound the time when the 2004 TL is coming out in a manual. Considering A manual TL would not have this problem. Its a sign.
