Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH ON A FLAT, EVEN SURFACE UNDER GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY ENGAGED, THE VSC TRAC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES ENGAGED, THE STEERING BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT, A GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED, AND THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE LAST TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO (ALSO HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT 65+MPH). BEFORE THAT, IT HAD BEEN A WHILE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPLETELY RANDOM OCCURRENCE. HOWEVER, THIS POSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN, IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING. BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS COMMON IN THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE. NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MADE. *TR
