“Started up the vehicle and the ABS brake light, the vcs off light and the vcs trac light all came on simultaneously. We've had the factory recall for aog vehicle stability control system, skid control ecu update done, and now we're told it will be $500 to replace the yaw-acceleration stability control . This is a very common safety problem, and should be covered by a recall, it happens a lot!”
