Consumer Description

TWO HOURS INTO A TRIP WHILE GOING 70 MPH ON STRAIGHT, FLAT DRY ROAD OUTSIDE OF SAN ANTONIO, THE VSC ALARM SOUNDED AND I SUDDENLY SEEMED TO LOSE CONTROL OF SUV AND POWER. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULLOVER ASAP AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WHICH RESET THE SYSTEM. HUSBAND TOOK OVER DRIVING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM JUST A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. SEEMED OKAY ONCE VSC SYSTEM DISENGAGED (I.E. WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON). WAS FINE DURING SHORT DRIVES ON OUR VACATION, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 2 HOURS ON OUR DRIVE HOME. HAS BEEN OKAY ON SHORT DRIVES, BUT TOOK TO DEALER TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE ANOTHER TRIP PLANNED AND ARE AFRAID -- ESPECIALLY SINCE OTHER FAMILY WILL BE JOINING US. DEALER CALLED A SHORT TIME AGO SAYING THE COMPUTER SHOWED THE INCIDENTS HAPPENED, BUT HE CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. HE SAID RESETTING THE COMPUTER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT SEEMS LIKE WITH AS MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH THIS YEAR MODEL, THERE MAY BE MORE TO IT THAN THAT. *TR
