1. A stabilizer system for a vehicle comprising:

  • a pair of stabilizer apparatus one of which is provided for a front-wheel side of the vehicle while the other of which is provided for a rear-wheel side of the vehicle and each of which includes;

    a stabilizer bar connected at opposite ends thereof to respective wheel holding members which respectively support left and right wheels of the vehicle;

    an actuator which includes an electric motor and which changes, by an operation of the electric motor, roll-restraining force to be exerted by the stabilizer bar; and

    a driver which is disposed between the electric motor and an electric power source for driving the electric motor; and

    a control device which controls the electric motor of each of the pair of stabilizer apparatus via the corresponding driver and thereby controls an operation of the corresponding actuator,wherein the control device includes an under-both-driver-no-power-supply-state control portion which controls at least one of the drivers of the pair of stabilizer apparatus to be placed into a phase-interconnection operation state in which terminals of respective phases of the corresponding electric motor are electrically connected to each other, when both of the drivers of the pair of stabilizer apparatus are in a no-power-supply operation state in which no power is supplied from the power source to the electric motor.
