| Dt: problem was noticed in 5/05 when key was turned on, no light came on regarding the stability control function. was put on diagnostics, but no error code showed. owner manual stated the light will come on briefly when starting the vehicle, then disappear. if the light does not go on, then stability control function may need service. the entire electric system failed in april, when radio, and other electric functions failed. also, the low psi light did not illuminate when the tire went flat. this happened after the repair of electric system. transmission failed, and had to be replaced. there was several bulletins regarding the stability control and electric systems, but dealer denied any problem with the stability control.*ak | |||
