i'm at 3100 miles and suddenly the problem lights go on and the messages "check vsa" "check tranmission" and "check system brakes" pop up. driving feels normal but sometimes when i brake i feel a little stutter with the car like it stops and goes again but happens really fast. any ideas?

 

Contact Acura dealer right away, have them tow the car and get a loaner from them. Don't drive the car if there's a check system brakes, it's your safety at stake.

 

Thats why I leased this one, after 4 transmissions in my last CL don't wanna take a chance with this TSX.. I have not heard of any BIG problems with the TSX trans, my boy had a 06 and had his replaced though so who knows!

 

Hey look on the bright side, maybee u will get a SH-AWD TL as a loaner to beat on!

 

if they tow the car would i need to pay for anything? and what if they damage anything (scrape bumper for example).

 

haha that would be sweet

 

do you guys think having hid ballasts in the foglights area and in the battery area affects this at all?

 

Not sure in US, in Canada we have Acura Care which is 24/7 roadside assistance. If your car breaks down they will tow it to the nearest Acura dealer even if it's 100 miles away and that's at no cost to the owner.

 

I talked to a buddy (Honda Tech) of mine about your hid install and he said it’s hard to tell without looking at your car but he told me that it is possible, He has seen it before several years ago but it’s not typical. Keep us posted please. I want to do the same upgrade.

 

if i bring it in as is (with the kid fogs installed) would they care much about it? and would it void warrantee at all?

 

^^ It should not matter at all. And they would have to prove that the install was the cause. With that being said it can cause you problems with the dealer if that is the route they go. He told me his advice would be to...Remove the install and see if this clears the problem and don't forget to Disconnect the BATTERY! If this does not work you need to take the care to the dealer.

 

turns out that the location of the ballast messed up the grounding and once i removed it and placed it somewhere else everything was fine. haha thanks for the help everyone.
