| Description of the problem | On my 2005 toyota xle limited, the traction control system engaged on its own while driving about 50 mph on a flat road in dry conditions, as a result the brakes engaged on its own and the car shook profusely for a couple of seconds. I had to hold onto the steering wheel to maintain control and avoid going into the neighboring lane. My 2005 toyota sienna has 84,000 miles on it. There have been two other incidences when the traction control engaged but the brakes did not. I have only owned the car for 1 week and i am communicating with toyota but i they have yet to organize a recall for this very dangerous problem. I plan to drive to canada in this car so i hope we can find a solution. |
