2004 ACURA TL Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

CAR RUNS GREAT BUT WILL SKIP OUT OF GEAR AND NOT MOVE. CHANGED TRANNY FLUID AND FILTERS AND IT WAS GOOD FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO PICK ME UP ON THE BUSY FREEWAY. NOW CAR WILL NOT EVEN SHIFT FROM PARK AND WHEN I USE THE SIDE RELEASE BUTTON AND PUT CAR IN R IT ROLLED FORWARD. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT THERE IS IN OTHERS LIKE MINE AND SAME PROBLEMS. 3000 DOLLAR TRANSMISSION AND IT'S TO MUCH TO FIX SO IT'S SCRAP METAL???

BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY AND REDUCES STOPPING POWER DUE TO AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE VSA MODULATOR. (2004-06). I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, AFTER NOTICING MY BREAKS WERE SOFT AND LESS EFFECTIVE OVER THE PAST FEW TIMES I DROVE. THEY WANT TO CHARGE 2.6K TO REPAIR THE MODULE, DESPITE THEM CLEARLY HAVING ISSUES IN THE PAST. I'M HOPING YOU WILL ISSUE A RECALL SO WE CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE FEW CAN AFFORD.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS TAKATA ISSUE AS WELL! OR DUE TO DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD MATERIALS WHICH HAVE CRACKED SEVERELY BAD! WHEN IT STARTED THEY WERE LINES HARDLY NOTICEABLE! NOW DUE TO NEGLEGANCE OF THE COMPANY THE PRIMARY CRACKS ARE OVER THE AIRBAG AREA & HAVE CREVICES ACROSS TOP AND THEY ARE ACROSS ENTIRE DASHBOARD? THE LIGHT FOR AIRBAGS COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES? THE SEAT BELT BEEPING INDICATOR IS NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME ANYMORE! MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2004 IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FROM WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME! THAT IS OF COURSE UNTIL THEY SEE THE CRATERS IN THE DASH OF WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A HIGHER END NICE MODEL CAR THAT SHOULD HOLD UP BETTER THAN???? THIS IS NOT TO MENTION THE FACT OF SAFETY? IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THE AIRBAGS HAVE DRIED OUT OR BECAME EFFECTED DUE TO...

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45-50 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES SUDDENLY CAME ON VERY HARD WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND THE CAR SLOWED VERY RAPIDLY (IN A STRAIGHT LINE) ALMOST TO A STOP. THE BRAKES WERE THEN RELEASED AS SUDDENLY AS THEY HAD BEEN APPLIED BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE PULSES FROM THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) DURING THE BRAKING PERIOD INDICATED THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED RATHER THAN A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL FUNCTIONAL AND THAT NO UNUSUAL FAULT LIGHTS WERE BEING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. SINCE EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL I RESUMED MY JOURNEY ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME SPONTANEOUS BRAKING PHENOMENON OCCUR FIVE OR SIX TIMES OVER THE NEXT 2-3 MILES. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO AN ACURA DEALER SO I DROVE THE CAR AT 40 MPH WITH EMERGENCY...

SEVERAL TIME MY RIGHT BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY LOCKED UP FOR A FEW SECONDS WITH NO WARNING. THIS CAUSE CAR TO VEER OFF TO THE RIGHT NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN BE RECREATED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 ACURA TL THAT I PURCHASED IN APRIL 2013. AFTER I HAD THE CAR A MONTH IT BEGAN TO RIDE ROUGH WHERE THE DRIVE IS NORMALLY SMOOTH FOR ABOUT A DAY. AFTER A DAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ABOUT AM HOUR LATER THE VSA AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE IGNITED, THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY MORE. THE MANUAL INFORMED ME TO RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER TO CLEAR THIS CONDITION, AND IT NORMALLY WORKS ONLY TEMPORARILY. THIS SAME PROBLEM MAY OCCUR AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, COUPLE OF DAYS OR A WEEK, BUT IT IS AN CONTINUOUS PROBLEM THAT OFTEN PUTS ME IN COMPROMISED AND DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AT SEVERAL DEALERS AND OTHER MECHANICS TRYING TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER THAT THEY CAN NOT DETECT A PROBLEM WITH THE CARE OR THEY ARE...

THE VSA (STABILITY CONTROL) SYSTEM ON MY 2004 ACURA TL MALFUNCTIONED. THE SYSTEM WOULD CAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE TO ACTIVATE BY ITSELF, CAUSING THE CAR TO SEVERELY SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. AFTER A HALF-SECOND OR SO, THE VSA WOULD DISENGAGE AND THE FAULT INDICATOR WOULD LITE UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ACURA DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE VSA FAULT CODES ARE NOT STORED IN THE VEHICLE'S MEMORY AFTER THE CAR IS RESTARTED AND THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY RESETS. THIS RESULTED IN HAVING TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE FAULT RE-OCCURRED. EVENTUALLY, WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR DIRECTLY TO DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR (BECAUSE WE LEFT IT RUNNING SO AS NOT TO CLEAR THE CODE). THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO A YAW RATE SENSOR IN THE VSA SYSTEM. ACURA SHOULD MAKE THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO...
