| Description of the problem | 2004 nissan quest le has had the "vdc off" warning light come on periodically while driving for the past 2 months, with increasing frequency. Vdc is the vehicle dynamic control system designed to assist driver with control and stability of vehicle during slips or swerves while driving. Dealer had difficulty diagnosing the problem but a recent visit on 7/28/08 presented me with an expensive replacement of the abs actuator. Dealer surmised that when i said we were being followed in traffic last week and were told we had no brake lights, that was a result of the vdc off indicator light coming on. Although i am not yet aware of additional safety hazards, the lack of brake lights seems significant. Consultation to the owners manual for advice on vdc off warning light gave absolutely no indication of the brake light failure as a result. |
