Plenty of lights will turn ON in the dash and you won't have any electronics at all interfering. (They all go back to normal once you replug the connector)

No updates as such. I was out of comission with some kind of cold most of the weekend.
The issue did occur for the first time for me on a long sweeping offramp. Previously I'd only encountered it on short, tight turns. This is getting really annoying...

Hey guys,
Whenever i'm on track and I go into a turn too hot (with VDC off), it does the same thing. In my opinion it is the VDC locking your brakes, as it has been said before, it still will act up if it feels the wheels are slipping, sometime innacurately. Also (through experience, Im not preaching) I would be careful going too fast on on-ramps to check out if the VDC is doing this, we als have a tail-happy backend!

Did you guys ever get a solution for this?
I don't think it's VDC becaue I have an 06 base model which has the same simptoms.
When taking sharp turns at speed, it feels as if the one of the wheels(fronts) skips and I feel it on the steering wheel. I have an appointment with nissan today but don't have my hoped to high after readinf this thread.

Best of luck with the dealer
I'm still planning to take mine in if I ever get around to pulling the test pipes off.

Faikius, my 2004 Touring 350 has issues with the outer axle, back ("unusal axial looseness" - basically the fixed end isn't fixed), that's a whole other story as per my other posts, anyway, this also causes it to feel like it's for a split second like the brakes are grabbing or something very similar.
I see that you feel the issue is with the front of your car, irrespective, as one of the other guys said, use your warranty. Keep us posted and don't take no for an answer. Good luck.
