| Description of the problem | On several occasions the vehicle stability control (vsc) on my 2005 toyota sienna awd xle (127,000 miles) is activated suddenly and for no reason. This is intermittent and happens when on a curve at varying speeds on perfect road and weather conditions. A buzzer sounds, vsc light comes on, brakes slam on and vehicle pulls to the right. Mechanic could find not anything. Toyota dealership had not heard of this problem. A google search revealed many similar complaints. This is frightening, dangerous and creates unsafe conditions for passengers in my vehicle, as well as other drivers on the road as the car suddenly and drastically reduces speed and pulls to the right. Many others are experiencing the same problem and should be recalled. Any defective part that poses a safety risk should be recalled by law! It seems that most people experiencing this problem are outside of their warranty. |
