| Description of the problem | Approx mid january 2014 while going down the hwy about 40 miles from home my vsc light came on and i lost almost all the use of my brakes, which really frighten me. I am single and have no family around to help. I got off the hwy and went very slow. The light went off before i got home and i didn't have another problem with it until dec 2014 while going to work. The light came on and off twice before i got to work and i lost brakes use. Then it happen again first week jan. 2015. It has happen twice recently and i'm getting worried about driving the car. You never know when it might happen and it is very dangerous. I looked it up on the internet and saw quite a few other people were having the same problem. I can't afford to have it fixed. I hope your investigation can help correct this problem before someone get hurt or worse killed. I has to be a defect in the vehicle if this many people are having this problem. Thank you for your time. |
