My "D" indicator light is blinking no matter changing the transmission fluid, cleaning the solenoids, etc. the car is not overheating, there are no apparent electrical problems and I do not even have any check engine lights or other codes. The light comes on blinking when I drive for a little while then goes off when I turn the car off and is fine. Then when I start it up it doesn't blink anymore. But then when I drive again for a while it blinks again. I've had transmission shuddering, jerky shifting, delayed shifting, etc.

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 acura tl. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the dashboard was cracked around the passenger side air bag. The contact also stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle decelerated as the check engine warning light flashed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
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 not codes deciphered by the diagnostics that should cause that can be fixed to relieve this condition. The dealer said that the codes are erased once the car is turned off then back on, and the dealers that say they see the codes say the codes does illustrate a problem.
I was driving on the highway doing about 65mph and my vehicle just went into a complete stop and it will not exceed 50mph immediately my check engine light came on and when I brought it to the dealer they reported that the throttle was loose and that there is nothing else wrong and that is when they informed me that the engine that my vehicle has is not the vehicles original which I was not very happy about because I should have been told this before I bought the vehicle. Not to mention the fact that I could have got into a serious accident when this incident occurred.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 acura tl. The contact stated that the check engine indicator light illuminated which indicated that the knock sensor failed. The vehicle hesitated while accelerating and the exhaust fumes had a strong aroma. The contact stated that the vehicle has a decreased in gas mileage. The contact will bring the vehicle to a dealer for a diagnosis. The current mileage was 56,829, and failure mileage was 56,200.
The knock sensor wire sends emission from the engine. If there is a problem with emission the sensor is suppose to adjust the fuel. However, the check engine light illuminates. Took vehicle to the dealer. However, the problem had not been resolved. *ak
