    Top of the day,
    I have enjoyed the mayhem from all of you with yaw/deceleration sensor issues. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". I didn't understand all the problems until recently. A friend's' daughter called it the devil car, a 01 4Runner limited with 240k miles, so I traded her a 09 Murano straight across. I don't trust or like my local dealer much except the parts department, so l got it in good running order after repairing up some other mechanics' repairs and general maintenance. I drove 2k with out an issue then one day, the yaw/decel sensor lights and alarm started flashing and blaring, and the leftside brakes applied themselves going through a sweeping turn at 55mph. That's why she called it the devil car, but it was very intermittent so she didn't tell anyone. None of these threads say anything of the brakes applying. WTF? I checked everything from gas cap to ABS sensors, zero point recalibrated the sensors, then checked availability of a new sensor. The sensor has been discontinued and is no longer available. I think this is funny but it could be serious for some one not paying attention. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Cheers
