Unhappy VCS light coming on pushing car off road

I have a 2003 470GX at 42K the VSC light flashed on with a loud warning sound, and it felt like the car had been hit broadside on the right side. The car has periodically done this many times since that first time, now has 92K, and has been in and out of LX dealer many times for the problem. Dealer states car is functioning as designed and since they cannot get the car to replicate the problem, they are saying the tire pressure is off causing the car to almost push me off the road, I hate driving the car now - it is scaring me to death! Anyone else experiencing this problem???

Your dealer could be right. The owners manual in my Acura says to disable VSA if I put the spare tire on saying it could trigger VSA.

I assume VSC works the same way. So if your tire pressure is off, it could throw the system off. Also are all of your tires the same size and brand? That could be a factor.
