doesnt vdc work through the brakes as well? so if his car is detecting brake issues with the fluids or whatever reason that could trigger a vdc failure.

anyway. i think what we all can agree on is.. go get it checked out and let us know!

im not too sure how VDC in our cars work, but if its the same as esp, then it applies individual brakes to keep you inline with your target and to maintain control depending on steering position and where it thinks u want to go. if the brake reservoirs are low it could think that applying individual brakes would be dangerous in this scenario and shut off altogether.

You might be right, it happened to me last year when I changed over the brake lines and had a small leak that tripped the light after a couple of days. Can't remember if it disabled VDC or not, but it very well could have.
