I understand the 500 mile drive-in period, but I got myself almost killed today cruising at normal speeds on twisty back roads when the VDC started to kick in. The car feels like I'm driving on ice. Did some research and found out that this apparently is/was an issue with G35 and 350Zs as well. Anyone else had similar experiences? The car now is basically not safe to drive IMO.
I also had this Problem when new tires were installed on my G35c. Back end was wild. After the break in period the tires "reacted" normally and this "problem" was not an issue. Give it time it will go away once they break it and make sure the air pressure is correct.
