I HAVE READ FURTHER ABOUT RECALL PROCESSES AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP CAN STATE THE RECALL WAS REMEDIED. I HAVE AN INFANT AND THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A 4 DOOR. I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME SCENERIO IN WHICH THEY HAVE SERVICED THE RECALL AND THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN ONLY TO BE TOLD IT IS A 2K FIX THAT MAY NOT FIX THE P...

TWO DAYS AGO, MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ABOUT 45MPH ON A SIDESTREET. AN UNEXPECTED BRAKING WAS EXPERIENCED WITHOUT ME APPLYING THE BRAKE, VSA LIGHT WENT ON. I HAD EXPERENCED 3 TIMES OF UNEXPECTED BRAKING, VSA LIGHT COMING - FOR THE SAME DAY. SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE INSPECT THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE STILL GOOD BUT I DECIDED TO CHANGE THEM ANYWAY. (FRONT: BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, REAR: BRAKE PADS ONLY TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY JUST BEFORE 7AM, WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 65MPH, SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE MADE AN EXPECTED BRAKING WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE ALMOST WENT OUT OF CONTROL FOR A SECOND BUT I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE IT. I NOTICED THAT VSA LIGHT WENT ON - BUT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR, NO BUMPS, NO DEBRIS, JUST PLAIN ROAD.
