| Description of the problem | 2005 toyota sienna's vehicle stability control engaged for no reason while in many different conditions (dry, wet, curve, straight, it didn't matter) making me lose control of the car. The vsc, trac off and check engine lights came on and a beeping sound engaged while the care took over not allowing driver input. I had to put it in neutral until it turned off. I have read many accounts online of other toyota sienna drivers experiencing the same dangerous problem. Thank goodness when it has happened, i haven't had a truck or semi next to me. This is my family car in which i need to drive my kids and other people's kids, and i cannot drive it anymore. Toyota has to fix this problem, since it is a manufacturer problem. |
