Car 1: 2004 Acura TL 6smt
Car 2: 1998 ford F150
Arrow Acura 2004 TL VSA problem

Picked the vehicle up from recall work on p/s hose and wiper. after a couple of days noticed car jerking at low speed between 30 to 40 mph (6 speed manual) a couple of days later driving at 60 mph 6th gear the car suddenly started jerking like mad i noticed VSA light and check engine light on. The car slowed to 40mph took it to the dealer and asked if they had messed anything up during work! They reset the vsa light etc and said could not find a problem. Two days later it is starting to jerk very slightly again and I'm sure the problem will take place again! I think they have messed up something in the drive by wire. Any advice?

What code did they pull from the CEL? THere has to have been somthing stored that set the light off to begin with, so I don't know how they can tell you they found nothing. I doubt its anything from the PS repair. Sounds like maybe a fuel or ignition problem. Guess #1 would be fuel pump ???

If its a VSA problem the computer could be applying the brakes causing the jerking..... I have not heard of problems like this on the Acuras but I spend alot of time on the corvette forum and I have heard of issues with the active handling system failing and causing intermitant/erratic braking. I agree with the above post in terms of finding out what the code was when the SES and VSA warning light appeared. Could be a bad wheel sensor or module causing the brakes to come on.
