Noticed yesterday that when I go around a curve (curving right) at speeds somewhere above 50 or so the car started jerking like the slip control was coming on. VDC was off. Felt like it was something with the left front tire. Anyone had any similar situations?

Did you try any self diagnostics.

Does it do it with the traction button off?Check tire pressure?Road conditions?Visual problems?Do you have aftermarket parts that might not be set up properly?

Then try your dealership.

Planned to take it to the dealership. Was just curious if anyone else has had the same problem.

Even if the traction control is "OFF" it is still really "ON" it just kicks in only if it feels it REALLY needs to.. Well if you have a tire size different then stock it can make it kick in. Also if it thinks that you're slipping (even if you're not) it can kick in.

It's really quite stupid and over sensitive.
