Description of the problem	I have a complaint about sienna's vsc system. It overreacts suddenly and at too much a rate, in an anticipated little skidding that had been easily corrected manually in my previous experience with other cars. I have a 2005 sienna le awd. It comes with vsc, abs, trac. I was cornering a 30 mph left turn with the van going 35 mph on highway 431 in nevada. It was down hill, so i was using low gear (3) to apply engine braking. It was not snowing. The road was dry without snow. On the side of the road, there were some gravels/salts. The van veered to the right a bit as i was making a wide turn. It went off the lane about 1 or 2 feet onto the shoulder, but still on pavement. On the shoulder, the front wheels skidded by a very little amount, which is anticipated and normal in my driving experience and had always been handled with ease. However, the vsc kicked in suddenly, causing the van to turn to the left tightly and at a very fast rate, into the opposite lane on the undivided 2-lane highway. It all happened in a blink of eyes. Fortunately, there was no traffic in the opposite lane, and i was alert enough to quickly steer the van back to my lane, avoiding hitting the mountain on the left. The vsc light did come on in few other occasions, but the van was never out of my control in those cases. From my past driving experience of 20 years (many of which were with snow), i really feel this is an overcorrection by the vsc by a huge amount. I am starting to feel very uncomfortable that such vsc reaction can't be reduced (e. G., to a slower and lesser rate) or completely turned off. It's winter time again and i am going to ski with my family. It reminds me that i have not filed this complaint yet and that i will have to be driving nervously, who knows when vsc is to kick in again, by how much amount, or at what rate. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
