Consumer Description

IT WAS NIGHT, AND MY GIRLFRIEND AND I JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY, WE JUST TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND MADE IT 100 YARDS WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE MY LEFT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT OR I HIT SOMETHING AND IT DRAGGED, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO INSPECT, AND FOUND NOTHING. I DID NOTICE THE VSA AND VSA ACTIVATION INDICATORS ON, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN RESET THE INDICATORS. ODDLY CONCERNED WE CIRCLED BACK TO CHECK FOR ANYTHING IN THE ROAD, THERE WAS NOTHING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST A FEW MINUTES LATER, AND THE INDICATORS CAME BACK ON. IT REPEATED ITSELF A THIRD TIME, AND I DROVE HOME VERY WORRIED IT WOULD HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY. EACH INSTANCE WAS MOMENTARY AND IT PULLED HARD LEFT EACH TIME WITH A LOAD ANTILOCK BRAKE TYPE JARRING VIBRATION. FROM READING OTHER STORIES I CAN SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM ISN'T ONE OF A KIND, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE POST A FIX FOR IT. *TR
