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
