Alright friends I encountered my first big problem (at least to me it's big) on my TT. Saturday
night my friend and I went for a canyon run, as I was taking a sharp turn to the left my brake & gas pedal felt like it vibrated and made a weird noise. So I tried it again and it did it again. I pulled of the road and checked the front of my wheels and under the car and couldn't see anything. Oh and everytime it did this my ESP light came on. So I decided to turn my ESP off, and to my surprise it didn't do it anymore. So my question to you is what's going on? Is it one of my sensors, and is that covered under my warranty? Thanks for your help.
OBTW good morning to all ! !

Good morning Dave......Yeah it's weird, this car has been really good to me for the past year. I'm
so confused right now. I don't know what to do. If I take it to the dealer I don't know if they will honor my warranty with all my mods. This happened after I installed my front sway bar, I'm wondering if maybe in the process of my sway bar being installed they maybe knocked one of the senosors loose or something. I am hoping is that.

But it never never has done that before, and I have taken many sharp turns b4. This started
happening after my front sway was installed, could it be maybe one of my sensors was knocked loose? Are the gas & brake pedal suppose to vibrate like that as well? HELP! !

just sounds like a fluke...
if you've never gotten it to kick in before, you haven't been driving very hard! 
I always turn mine off during spirited drives or at the track because it's quite intrusive. Alternatively, you could have a lateral acceleration sensor failing.

I'd have a read through the terms and conditions of the warranty first. I'll
keep my fingers crossed that it's okay, and hopefully like the other's have put - it's just the ESP doing it's job. ;-)
Strange how you haven't noticed it before though ?
I'm having a funny spell with the Lexus at the mo - I have this strange kinda gassy sound coming from the front driver's side wheel area everytime I head sharply around a left bend (that's right bend to you guys..hehe...I really gotta think on this site).
I'm kinda just thinking off ignoring it for the time being, as I don't do many miles, plus this time next Monday I'll be sat on that plane heading for Florida.....yeeeeeehaaah.
