| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 toyota avalon.. Light came on today (vsc) did not know what it was until driving on the freeway going 65 mph and all of a sudden my vehicle lost power and engine still idling... Pulled to the side of the road, very dangerous, no shoulder. I shut the car down and restarted it... Gave it a little gas and thought i could exit the freeway.. As i gave it gas trying to merge back into the slow lane with 65mph traffic.. It nearly caused a rear in collision with another vehicle.. My car cut out and then it went up to 50mph (cutting out the entire time).. Enough to get me off the freeway. Taking it to the dealer in the morning. Whatever the problem with the vsc... Will be determined in the morning at the toyota dealer. Very dangerous. |
