VSC/TRAC LIGHTS COMES ON WHEN TAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS CAUSING COMPLETE POWER LOSS OF VEHICLE OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO GRIND VEHICLE TO A HALT. HAD A VERY SERIOUS NEAR MISS ACCIDENT WHEN TURNING AT INTERSECTION. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. I HAVE LOCATED 3 TSB'S RELATED TO THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

DT: BRAKE SYSTEM WILL GRAB AND THROW CAR INTO SKID, BUT PARTS ARE FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. THE SWITCH ON THE DASHBOARD DOES NOT SHUT IT OFF. CONSUMER HAD NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP, AND FOUND OUT STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS BAD, AND REPLACED IT. ALSO, COMPUTER WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER WAS REPLACED ALSO. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT CONFIRM WHAT FAILED FIRST, WHY EITHER FAILED, OR WHY HE COULD NOT FIND ANY TROUBLE OVER ONE YEAR AGO, WHEN CONSUMER NOTICED BLINDING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE DRIVERS DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS ACTIVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. ALSO THE DASH CONTROL WILL NOT SHUT OFF VSC (VEHICLE SKID CONTROL), NOR ANY OTHER FUSE, SWITCH, WIRE, OR OTHER VSC'S.*SB
THE VEHICLE SKID CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE RPM'S AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FLICKERED AND THE RPM'S DROPPED AND THERE WAS NO CONTROL WITH THE ACCELERATION. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB
WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/TRAC LIGHT, AND ABS BRAKING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THEN, VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE, AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER INFORMED MECHANIC THAT THIS PROBLEM RECURRED AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK
