I always turn VDC off. Why? Because I know how to drive a rwd, fwd, awd, 4x4Hi, 4x4Lo and my JD lawnmower. VDC wasn't around back in the day and guess what? Everyone drove around going about their business and there were accidents. For all you pro VDC on folks I have a revelation for you - there will always be accidents with or without VDC on or off. Now get over it and face the reality that VDC on is not a guaranteed accident prevention device that will save your a$$ no matter what.

After thinking about your wreck: VDC "would not" have prevented your wreck. The tires have, to have, traction for VDC to be effective!
"He did a 360 spin, there is no traction", even if VDC had been on, it wouldn't have helped!
"I would like to apologize for my previous snap post"!

Where in Orlando did this happen? What body shop did you take it to?

Airbags come out? and I think you guys should cut him a break he said he made a mistake turning the VDC off. Regardless, I never drive with it on. There's been too many times when I tried to pull out quickly and it slows the car, putting you in even more danger because your car isn't accelerating like it should be.

+1 sometimes the vdc bogs the car for a split second when you smash the pedal.

Don't think what you guys described is VDC fault. It sounds like the car is trying to adjust from being driven passive to aggressive.
