| Description of the problem | ---------------------------------- i feel these runaway toyota's are caused by there vsc system. The vsc system will take control of the vehicle's steering, throttle and brakes. This system has caused me embarrassment as well potentially put me and my passengers in danger. I parked on a snow covered parking spot it was a slight downhill grade. When attempt to back the car up, it would not allow me to do so. The vsc took control and i could not accelerate the engine, so that the tires could cut though the snow to get a grip. My passengers had to get out of the car and push it back to a place where the tires could get a grip, that was the embarrassing part, but what if this was a potential accident situation? I could not have moved the car and its passenger to safety. I strongly suspect the vsc system to be the cause of these accidents. |
