Hey guys how are you ? Ok I'm a long time reader post very rarely to ask questions...Ok here is the deal my moms car 04 TL ( didn't feel like driving mine lol ) was started the car and the check engine light had came on before even moving the car from the driveway I turned it off right away thinking it was a loose gas cap started the car again after tighting up the gas cap...then the car began to shake as in a exhaust wasnt leaving the car properly sort of way...So I had called DCH acura and they said just have the car towed there...So my mom gets a call saying the computer had went bad in the car...My question how rare is it to have a car with 30k miles only 3.5 years old need a new computer I'm guessing it's the ECU.. Thanx in advance

 

it's under warranty right?

 

yes....it should be under warrenty as I have an 04 TL with 30k and it is warrentied. SOmetimes the ECU can go bad if water hits it or a wire is loose of comes out.

 

Parts fail at unknown times for no appearant reason-
the space station computers are running on a jumper wire to power them so it doesnt careen into Earth- this week.

So figure your cars computer may go- or the window switch- or the radio- or
Be glad for warranty and loaner cars- and for YOU finding the prob-
not.... Mom got stuck somewhere!

 

Yeah thank god for the warranty & loaner cars lol...I just wanted to make sure this wasnt something she should be concerned about later on down the road...thanks for the quick responses.
