I was cruising down Hwy 94 past Defiance with a buddy of mine enjoying a night off and this happened.





Now I'll give you my story . I never much liked the Brake assisted stability control on this car it just never felt safe or right to me so i always turned it off. That night I had driven over 30 miles up and down this common twisty area to me. I decided to slow down considerably and turn on the traction control and just get used to driving with it on so i knew what it felt like.

It must of malfunctioned. The first turn i went around it caused the accident. I braked pretty hard before the turn so i would enter it at slower speed than i normally would have. It was actually only 5mph above the posted speed of the turn. The car made a unnatural jerk and then continued into a forward slide. I made a last effort to keep the car on the road by turning hard on the wheel and tapping the brake, which had no affect. When i applied the brake i felt the car was already braking! I realized at that point my braking and steering meant nothing to this vehicle and it had a mind of its own.

I will be taking pictures of the tear down and progress at the body shop Monday and let you guys know what was damaged.

Also I spoke with a lead mechanic at king dodge/Chrysler and he told me that this is not even close to how the stability control is suppose to work and wouldn't mind checking on the vehicle after it gets out the shop and tearing down the car to figure out whats wrong.
