VSA malfunction

During the summer, the oddest thing happen while I was driving my TL. I was going onto the freeway, I decided to link my phone through the steering wheel bluetooth. I pushed the button and "tried" to call my sister. It didn't recognize the number but then i start hearing a buzzing noise while i accelerated so i pressed cancel on the call. So yeah I finally got onto the freeway, like 5 miles from my exit I start hearing the buzzing noise. All of a sudden when I was in the fast lane i was going like 75mph and my car starts slowing down. (no i wasnt pressing the brake) The VSA light came on and the engine light came on as well. So i started switching lanes to the furtherest right lane.. by the time i got to the right lane i was going like 45mph.. (thank god there was a slow truck in front of me.. ) i tried tapping the VSA button several times while i was changing lanes and nothing worked. So i basically kept going slow until i reached a familiar exit. I went down the exit and the car was working with me... but as soon as i got to one place.. it stopped on me..


the eerie thing is that the spot my car VSA light came on, i saw a dog got ran over on the freeway. it was still pretty much alive when my cousin was driving pass it, the day before..


anyways i got to the gas station and restarted it twice. it worked enough for me to get home. i got home and did an overview of the car. started it twice more and it was fine...

i was just wondering if this has ever happen to anyone or is it just me getting haunted by some dog on the freeway?

never heard this happen before but if the lights came on you should have some codes
go to the dealer and have it checked out
what year and how many miles is your tl

So now you think your TL is posessed by the soul of a dead dog?


Maybe the dog got hooked in through the HFL signal your were accessing.

Commence the leghumping!

But on a serious note, I'd definitely take it into the dealership and have it looked at.

Yes, take it to the dealer.

BUT, they don't do exorcisoms for Deceased Dog Demons. They don't even exorcise Gremlins - believe me, I asked.

But they can diagnose mechanical issues related to VSA.

Get a different cell phone, it's clearly infecting your car
