| Description of the problem | I am having an issue with my 2005 rav4 that has become so frequent that i no longer feel safe operating the vehicle. When i am driving between 30-50 mph, and the road makes a slight curve, my vsc warning light comes on and i loose steering control until i remove foot from accelerator. Issue began: april 2018, and happened about 2-3 times a month. Since then, it has gradually increased to at least once each time i drive. Apr-nov, mostly occurred on same slight right curve uphill section of road. It's still mostly that, but now it also happens when the curve is to the left, or downhill the speed limit is 50 mph with constant moderate to heavy traffic weekdays about 4 |
