Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2004 toyota highlander 2wd. This vehicle is in excellent condition, low mileage (about 40,000) and has never been in an accident. On april 19, the vehicle stability control/anti-slip buzzer sounded. The icon lit on the dashboard, and the vehicle started to break as if the car was slipping. The road was dry, our speed was extremely low (about 15mph), and there was no reason for this to happen. Thankfully, we were just out of our driveway and could turn safely around though the problem persisted. On april 20th, we phoned toyota of keene to make an appointment to bring in our vehicle. We weren't thrilled with the prospect of driving under these conditions, but figured if we kept to low speeds we should be able to make it safely. We took down the tow company
