Consumer Description

THE VSC TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN THE RAIN. THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND THE CAR SWERVED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER CAR IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT!!! BOTH DASH VSC DASH LIGHTS IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED INDICATING THE VEHICLE NEEDED SERVICE. THE DEALER IS NOW SAYING THAT THE ECU IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 89000 MILES ON IT, THE ECU SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE AT THIS MILEAGE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF/WHEN THE ECU DOES BECOME DEFECTIVE IT SHOULD NOT ENGAGE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CAUSING A CONDITION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
