I need a little input

Juso · 11-10-2017, 08:41 PM

So, the other day it was raining and i spun out and went up a curb at 5mph or so which was just enough to get past my front passenger side tire. The car yanked pretty hard back one way and after spinning and while going towards the curb, to avoid going up the curb too far, I stood on the brakes. There is no damage or and noticeable damage besides the plastic under carriage having minor scratches, but i do have some lights coming up on the dash. The lights coming up are my e-brake light which is just for a sec after a little acceleration and it goes away. The other light that comes on is this one http://prntscr.com/h8yaol which im not 100% sure if its vdc or what it is because I'm seeing that 370s have a few different iterations of warning lights. Anyways, this light will normally come on in conjunction with the e-brake light, but not as frequent as the ebrake light this one seems to appear at random, and unlike the e-brake, it will stay on until i turn the car off and back on, although it didn't come on in the video i got.

thanks in advance!

I'm guessing those lights are unrelated to your incident other than causing the brake fluid to slosh around. Topping off your brake fluid should take care of both lights.

What JARblue said - top off your brake fluid and see if that helps.

The different dash lights are explained in the Owner's Manual. If you don't have one, see link in my sig.

Possibly. If topping off the brake fluid doesn't solve it, you will need to replace the hub that hit the curb. It's not hard to do if you are mechanically inclined. Amazon has the Beck-Arnley part for about $96.

Pretty much guaranteed. The symptoms he describes are a dead giveaway.

That was the first thing I checked when mine did that. (Search is a great tool, BTW

) Unfortunately, mine turned out to be a hub.

More information is always good...

Well it fixed the problem just thought I'd make this thread in case this happens to anyone else. Now we have a definitive answer for people who search for this.
