| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2005 toyota sienna on a dry, straight road at about 30 mph and for no reason the vehicle stability control (vsc) engaged and brought the car to a violent stop. The nose of the car came down and i could feel the rear of the van begin to lift off of the ground. If i was traveling on a highway at a higher rate of speed, i have no doubt this van would have flipped over. I had to drive to the dealer when this occurred at least ten times while not driving over 10 mph. My dealer said they have never heard of this problem but i have found numerous owners online who have experienced this issue. *jb |
