Description of the problem	After starting my car and driving it two blocks, the vsc light and audible warning buzzer went on at the same time my car lost tracking and started veering to the left. I was able to get the car home, but the same thing happened as soon as i drove it 3 blocks to a service station. Diagnostics discovered the steering angle sensor was defective. The part was replaced for $630. 11. I see this as extremely dangerous as it could have potentially resulted in a car accident.
