Consumer Description

THE CAR'S VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM) WILL ENGAGE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY YAW RATE SENSOR. UPON INVESTIGATION, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2005 MODEL. MY CAR'S VSA (BRAKES) WERE ENGAGED ON MULTIPLE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NO REASON. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IF I MANUALLY DISENGAGED THE VSA SYSTEM (THE PILOT HAS AN ON/OFF SWITCH), I EXPERIENCE NO SUCH ERRONEOUS BRAKING INCIDENTS.
