Electrical brake signal came on and emission light

Filed Jan 28, 2025 · Brakes, Electrical · SC

The car is constantly throwing codes for faulty emissions system problem and parking brake problem but the car runs fine. The dealership will not do anything unless I pay them a fee to diagnose it and then they suggest replacing the catalytic converter even though it’s very likely a faulty fuel hose or faulty sensor. This needs to be recalled and fixed immediately

I recently got my rotors replaced and the car stutter while braking. Also, this happened before I replaced rotors.. the transmission is slow and won't shift to merge highways. I don't know if its the transmission or the brake lines.. I guess it's the transmission trying to drop gears for engine braking and it starts stuttering.

Several times, all of the lights would flash on the car to check all of the systems and then the car would shut off while I was mid drive mostly while in a residential neighborhood but sometimes on a major parkway. After about an hour the car would start back up. I would not be able to start the car or change gear while it was shut off. I had the battery and alternator checked and that was not the problem. I took it to the repair shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I researched online and saw several 2015 acuras were recalled with this issue but not my VIN number. I have pictures that I took when it was last flashing if that would be helpful.
