ABS, TCS and exclamation lights on the dash.

Anyone else had this problem? I went to a car wash that is drive thru where they put your car in neutral and it goes along the rail through the wash. However, when the car wash was done and I was driving away, I noticed that the ABS, TSC and the exclamation mark the dash came on and stayed on. I then tried to shut off the engine and restart the car but those lights are still on.

I dropped my car off at the local Acura dealership last monday(10/3/2005) and they have yet to fix the problem eventhough they had the car for 7 days now.

To add insult to injury, they didn't have any loaners available for me to drive on monday so I had to bum a ride from my friends for 2 days. And after complaining to Acura for two days, they caved in and contacted a local car rental agency and got me a car. But a freaking Ford Focus...Yuck!!!

So I've been driving this nasty ass Ford Focus for 6 days now.

Thanks a lot Acura!! You sure know how to treat your customers...I hope someone from Acura is reading this.

Sounds like something hit a wheel sensor, or got it wet. The wheel sensor was the cause of previous problems like this, and I am sure your dealer knows enough to check them out, but you can always ask them to be sure.

Same thing happenned to me. I had to quickly slam on the brakes to avoid an accident and all 3 of those lights came on instantly and would not turn off.
I took the car in the following mornig and got it back at the end of the day. It was a sensor. I got a tsx loaner btw.

First thing to do is check the fuses......then have the car checked by your dealer.
