1 Vsa Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2017

Occasionally while traveling on the highway - any speed from 50-70 mph - the electronic stability control light will flash, even though there are no adverse conditions. While the light is flashing, I can feel that my left rear brake is applied, causing me to have to correct the course of the car. I do not feel safe in this car anymore. This did not start happening until after I received the recall service associated with campaign 137 for the the yaw sensor (which describes the exact scenario I am experiencing now). This has been going on for about 6 months so far (date noted below is most recent instance). In that time period I have had to have my rear rotors replaced, and the brake pads replaced twice. The second time I replaced the brake pads, they had heated up so much from dragging that they had fused onto the rotor, and the caliper was broken.

4 Vsa Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2015

I was driving down a dry solid road with no obstructions or potholes. All of a sudden my car acted like it tried to shift gears, heard a strange noise and the car acted like it would not go faster when I stepped on the gas and felt like I lost some function control of the vehicle. It has done this before but only temporarily. Then the esc (electronic stability control) light started flashing all with in 2 seconds. When I realized that it was not changing, I turned the esc off and it went back to driving normally almost instantly. About a mile down the road I figured I would try to turn it back on because I remember being told by the dealership to leave it on. A few seconds passed and all of a sudden my wheels locked up and I lost control of the vehicle as my car started to turn sideways. I quickly turned off the esc button and it corrected immediately, however, it felt like the transmission had to readjust after having the wheels locked up. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle any longer. I have an email with many other people who have reported this same issue (some have had actual accidents) that I can send you. This is very concerning and should have a recall done on this before this kills someone.
