who drives with the vdc off daily and did you have any problems by doing so?
 
Been driving my g35 for about 2 weeks now and I anxious to turn my vdc off and see what she's made of, but before I do so I was wondering who drives with it off daily and will it eventually harm your car.

It will not harm your car at all... unless you get sideways, lose control of your car and wreck.

i only switch it off in residential areas, in front of elementary schools, and near nursing homes.

every minute i drive my car since i have owned it i drive with it off.. does not hurt the car what so ever...when it's on, it turns on at the most random times and the sudden joltz toss me around in the car causing me to turn the steering wheel and almost crash.. happens when taking a corner..

^ Sometimes, when I know that corner will activate my VDC, I will turn it off prior t o entering the turn...

Got tired of new rears every 10k so my VDC stays on now :)

I don't think I've ever turned off VDC. But then again I drive like a grandma so it has never even come on before.

I turn it off sometimes. I hate when it kicks in sometimes. The car just jolts and wheels and it wheels spins just a bit.

Mine is always off. First thing I do after starting the car is hit that button.

There is no need to turn it off unless you are at the track. It shouldn't kick in, on pavement, if you are driving responsibly on our streets. The only time I have ever felt it engage is in the winter and I don't drive like a grandmother either.
If you want to turn it off its your choice but I don't see the point.

my vdc is permanently off.

irishsig Aug 11, 2010 02:18 PM

It's second nature for me to automatically turn it off when I get in the car.
Haven't had any issues by turning it off for daily driving.
I prefer to have the most control over the car that I can.
I drive aggressively but not like an A-hole.
Can't stand when the VDC diminishes the power on me when I'm going into a corner
