2004 Acura TL Electronic stability control 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???”

“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.

“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.”

“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. …”
