“The anti skid control light comes on from time to time when I am driving, especially on the highway. In addition to the light, there is warning beeping, as if I'm sliding on ice. At the same time, I completely lose control of the acceleration and braking. It's very scary, and I am concerned for my safety and my family's. This has happened multiple times on clear, dry days, so it's definitely not caused by the road being wet or icy.”
NHTSA complaint #11192282, filed 2019-03, 207,000 miles“For no reason the vsc and traction alarm goes off the vehicle brakes on its own dangerously. It is happening daily. Usually when going high speed and around a left bend. I went and had the system reset as is called for after alignment. That didn't fix it. I had the steering angle sensor replaced and that didn't fix it. The yaw replaced and that didn't fix it. So now what? This is dangerous for my family.”

NHTSA complaint #11123020, filed 2018-08, 87,000 miles“When driving under normal conditions the vehicles' vsc will engage. The dashboard lights go off, there is a loud interior beeping sound, the ABS engages, the car slows down drastically at once. The roads are dry. At first this happened while driving normal speed exiting or entering an hwy off/on ramp. Then happened yesterday as I was driving on neighborhood streets at about 25-30 MPH. I could hear a rubbing on the back tires as if the brakes were on.”
NHTSA complaint #11256542, filed 2019-09, 95,000 miles“Every time the speed of the car reached 33 MPH, the vehicle skid control light would start flashing with a continuous beeping sound. When I continued to drive it and took a turn, the car braked and the steering wheel was not responsive. A very dangerous feeling on the windy roads I live on.”
