I turned on my car on Memorial Day and it seemed to be driving very sluggishly. That's when I noticed the VDC light was lit on the dashboard. I pulled into a parking lot, turned off the car, and pulled out the driver's manual. That's when I learned that the VDC module could be reset just be turning off the car and restarting it. I did this and had no problems with driving. However, it seemed like the transmission was hesitating fairly regularly. I took it to our local autoport (the only one on island) and the tech couldn't find anything wrong. He cleared the code from the computer and I picked up the car. It was driving fantastic. No hesitation.
Just two weeks later, the car was hesitating again. And then the VDC light came on again. It happened while I was doing some combat parking (parking the Cube nose out instead of nose in) to a parking space. Since I knew how to reset this, I wasn't worried, but the service engine light is on again, and that's another $75 to have the mechanic clear the light and probably tell me he can't find anything wrong with it again.
I have to get this car to stay alive for another year, because I'm stuck on Guantanamo Bay, and I don't want to drive one of the island beaters.
