Consumer Description

I'M DRIVING NORMAL ON THE ROAD WITH NO CONDENSATION ON ROADWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE "VDC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR LOOSES SPEED AND JERKS. I PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF. WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO TURN CAR BACK ON. CAR MAY OPERATE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN AGAIN THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT IS BACK ALONG WITH THE JERKING. I CAN BE EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) OR DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR EVEN BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE "VDC OFF". WHEN I AM STATIONARY AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, SOMETIME IT IS STILL ON AND THECRPM IS REVVING UP AND DOWN. MY FOOT IS NEITHER ON THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. THIS LAST TIME 3/11/2019. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON STARTING SINCE JANUARY 2019.
