Electronic Stability Control
Vsa system constantly going on is a safety concern.

Electronic Stability Control
The vsa light comes on and the anti-lock brakes activate unexpectedly. This happens on dry roads, while accelerating, or maintaining speed, even with cruise on at 70+ mph. It caused a sudden loss of speed, and had caused the vehicle to veer in a different direction. This is ongoing, not an isolated occurrence and began within 2 weeks after we purchased the vehicle used.

The vsa, abs and vtm-4 lights on the vehicle come on and off and the car will stop or drive erratically. It also makes a grinding noise. I've taken it in and no one can tell me why this is happening. This has been going on since october of 2015. I'm afraid it will cause an accident.
