I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON A BUSY STREET. WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY DIRECTION FROM ME, THE CARS RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ENGAGED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (SECONDS) AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT. THE INCIDENT CORRECTED ITSELF QUICKLY AND THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. IT IS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. IN THE BEGINNING, IT ONLY OCCURRED ONCE EVERY WEEK OR TWO. THE FREQUENCY HAS STEADILY INCREASED OVER THE PAST YEAR. AT THIS TIME, IT OCCURS ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
