What owners wrote
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 severly 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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 acura tl. While driving 30 MPH, the front passenger side anti lock braking system engaged independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the yaw sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108 ,000. ...updated 03/31/16 updated 05/29/18
