It first started when I stepped on the brake, it felt like the anti-lock brakes were kicking in but felt weaker. I was stopping from like 20mph and was not loosing traction whatsoever so there is no reason why the antilock brakes would be kicking in. I thought hmmm weird but thought nothing of it. But then when I started to accelerate, theres this horrible rattling noise in the front (like grinding rocks), doesnt seem to be coming from engine. VSA light blinks on and off. I was very worried and was about to pull over but then it stopped, and so far it hasnt started back up, yet. Hopefully doesnt start up again, but in any case should I go see the dealer about this. I really dont have the time nor money. But Im afraid if I ignore it, it might come back and bite me in ass. Has any had this problem?

it appears that one of the capilers may have locked up after a VSA activation. I would put the car up on jacks, put the car in neutral and see if you can rotate the tires, the one you can'[t move around has the locked brake. I would take it to acura under warranty as this could be a saftey hazzard.

Thanks so much for your reply. Yeah that makes sense. Well the problem stopped so you think I'm good? If it happens again, I'll take it down to the dealer for sure, but I'd rather not deal with it if I dont have to.

a sticky brake piston is never a good thing and can cause fatal injuries. If you are on the highway and brake slightly and the Front passenger one sticks, then you car will be thrown into the next lane and into either a concrete barrier or ditch. I would go ASAP to get it fixed and checked out.
