It was raining during this morning's commute. All was well until a car in the oncoming lane was suddenly coming straight at me out of control. It happened so fast I don't even know how it got in my lane. To miss the oncoming out of control car I was forced to whip the steering wheel left and then back right. In my effort to miss the car I dropped my left side rear wheel off the pavement. I felt my car start to slide when all of a sudden it corrected itself without any input from me. I've never noticed VSA prior to today. Do you think the car correcting itself was VSA, or just happenstance? There was no audible or visible alert that VSA was working. All I know is I'm grateful there was NO accident!

 

the VSA light on your dash didn't start blinking? (the triangle with an exclamation point?) ... probably didnt notice anyway if it was spontaneous..

glad you're okay

 

Dont know the good thing though is your ok

 

Not that I noticed. However, I thought that light was only for traction control. I was not aware that it also blinked for vehicle stability assist. Prior to today I have seen the light activate for traction control. I'll have to check the manual.
