Interior Light Blinks and Beeps On Sharp Turns

I have a 2007 TL and when I make a sharp turn or hard turn the front console lights blink 2-3 times. Has anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Vsa Is Probably What It Is

That's what I'd think.

BUT if he means backlights or ambient lights, then it is not normal and is probably a loose connection somewhere that the dealer would fix under warranty.

Actually to make it clear... it's the DOME light and no VSA. It also beeps like the door is open on sharp curve or turns.

oh... well then possibly a bad door switch; could be shorting out or may not be tight and it might be completing the circuit so the car thinks the door is ajar..

do you notice if it happens when you turn to the left or right ?

I have posted about this a while ago too, someone told me to check the fuses.
I checked, fuses are fine. And I have recently found out which door it was. (front passenger door)
Not only on sharp turns, if I nudge the door alittle from the inside, with the door closed, it interior dome light comes on and dash beeps too.

theres a little sensor in the door jamb that may be bend. It sticks out about an inch and has a ribbed black plastic covering on it. Open the door and push it, the door open light should go off. If it is not making proper contact or is bent, it will set off the lights.

I have the same problem. Acura has made two attempts to fix it, both unsuccessful. I my case it is the front passenger door sensor (I get the impression that it is something like a Hall sensor).
