| Description of the problem | I have written to you in the past but have not received any response. My daughter and i both drive 2003 toyota 4 runners. I have brought the following issue to toyota several times. I am rewriting to you especially after the lx460 recall. In snow or ice, the vehicle will spin to easy as you drive around a turn while giving it some gas. We both have spun out. I have on two occasions. It is very dangerous. My daughter hates to drive it when it is icy or snowy. My 2000 4runner never did it. My bmw z4 will not do it. Some thing is wrong with the vsc logic. Can you help me? |
