Anyways, the G's VDC went on the fritz during yesterday's snowing commute. It turned itself off!? And wouldn't turn back on until the car was restarted. It couldn't have been because it was trying to save itself (the brakes) from being over-worked, could it?

I'd get the dealer to run a diagnostic on it.
It should have thrown some code.

Did you have the slip light appear too?
Took it to the dealership and it's been fine since, they said it was part of a recall that was sent out. I think it was the Brake Sensor Recall.

Thanks for the input. I'll get them to look into it at the next oil change. The car is pretty well behaved when going slowly, so I'm not too concerned.

Thanks for the link Msm. Wow, that thread dates back to '03. You'd think they would've fixed the problem for the later cars.
Hehe, "mysterious snow crop circles appear at Finch subway commuter parking lot..."
