| Description of the problem | 2006 toyota sienna le acquired 9/2013 with 93k miles on it. Single previous owner with "clean" carfax and service records. Starting 1/2014, vehicle stability control began engaging erratically at inappropriate times while cornering during highway driving. It is very startling with loud beeps and flashing lights followed by automatic braking that causes vehicle to slow and swerve abruptly. The vehicle continues to do so and is clearly a malfunction as it happens on dry roads, in gentle corners and at conservative speeds 45-65 mph, and unprovoked by abrupt steering, accelerator, or braking inputs. A very obvious safety issue as well as much undue wear and tear on brakes, tires, suspension, and steering. |
