Consumer Description

THE VSC/TRAC ACTIVATION AND SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE THE SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATED, LOCKING UP/LETTING GO OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WHILE ON DRY LEVEL PAVEMENT AND DRIVING FORWARD. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP, WHICH FOUND A PROBLEM IN A STEERING SENSOR, "THE COMPUTER" AND POSSIBLY A WHEEL SENSOR. THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE SYSTEM BE DISABLED UNTIL IT COULD BE TROUBLESHOOT IN MORE DETAIL. I HAD THEM DISABLE IT SO THAT IT COULD BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE DANGER OF A WHEEL LOCKING UP ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS STILL DISABLED, WITH DASH SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ON DURING OPERATION. *TR
