“The vsc, traction control warning light on the dash will not go off. It continuously flashes and the check engine light starts on as well. I've done everything possible to get it to go off, including having a certified mechanic check it, to no avail. Therefore, I'm assuming I have no reaction control whatsoever as it keeps flashing traction control off .”
NHTSA complaint #11320243, filed 2020-04, 115,000 miles“The vsc light is flashing, the traction control warning light is on as well as the check engine light. The traction control button does not work either now. I plugged in an obd scanner and got a c1201 error code which we were not able to clear. I don't recall if we were moving, parked out just turned the car on when the lights started but they will not shut off when the car is running.”
NHTSA complaint #11344125, filed 2020-08, 162,000 miles“Braking sensor/skid light comes on at random, then occasionally the engine starts braking in traffic, and sometimes threatens to quit, needing to pull off of highway and keep restarting car until I get a smooth sound. (1st time light came on, I skidded on a small patch of ice, the alarm went off, the light came on, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, sure didn't need to warn me I went for a skid, already knew that, didn't like being scared to death by the noise)”

NHTSA complaint #10311632, filed 2010-02, 2,543 miles“Re: I haven't followed up on rcmn-10v017-5275 as I hadn't noticed a problem living in an area with level streets. However, when trying to park or leave a parking space on an incline or decline it is a problem. When moving in or out of a parking, I noticed that my gas pedal is very sensitive. It lurches my car quickly forward. This is not about my parking technique. Someone else familiar with parking on these streets is concerned about the car's acceleration. Is this issue related to needing a remedy to the above recall notice. …”
