Guess the problem / cost vTLX
|
|
TLX lit up like a Christmas tree on the way home yesterday ...
- Drove about 100km, 10 mins from home, doing 30km/h on a turn and the car lights up like xmas tree. - Steering feels wonky, all of a sudden having to keep the wheel at 1 o'clock to drive straight. - Error codes rotate thru the screen: Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Hill Assist System Problem, Lane Keep Assist Problem, Power Steering Problem , Lane Departure Problem, VSA problem : - Visual inspection nothing dangling from underneath, tires still inflated, wheels still on the car.
My guess: seized front driver brake caliper, ~$500 wallet mechanic job.
Will get CAA to tow it either to dealer or a small shop we know.

Battery. Both of my TLX's had basically the same problem. Pretty common with these cars actually, the battery is only good for about 2 years lol. But mine was covered under the cars warranty.
