Description of the problem	On 3/17/05 i drove my toyota 2004 highlander, 2,025 mileage, onto a main street at about 5 mph. A beeping sounded, the slip indicator light blinked slightly, and horrible crunching and clanging sounds occured underneath the front of the vehicle. It felt like the front brakes locked up. I tried to slowly resume driving several times, but the car was inoperable and the dealer sent a tow truck. They said it was a problem within the vehicle stability control system which interacts with the yaw and steering angle sensors, and the brake system. There is also suppose to be a g-sensor according to toyota's web site glossary. (the dealer never heard of the g-sensor). They said it was a bad steering angle sensor and had seen this problem several times. The sensor was replaced at the dealership and since i've only driven it a few miles, i don't know if it's okay. What if the replacement sensor is also bad? I often drive in the mountains alone, and am extremely worried about it. I am retired and bought the vehicle for safety and security, relying on toyota's expertise, or so i thought! The vsc situation is very serious and should be a recall issue. I now wish i had bought a honda pilot. *ak
