| Description of the problem | October 2016 this problem of my 2008 toyota sienna started- on slight curves doing 30-40mph i would hear a clicking noise coming somewhere underneath the front right end almost as if under the dash, the vsc light would flash. I took to a toyota dealership, had a mechanic test drive with me they said the problem was that my tires werent aligned with my last tire change(which was done at their toyota dealership) toyota told me i needed to replace all the tires and have the wheels aligned. I did this, problem continued. I took my van in again to toyota, they lied and told me i needed new brakes, and some other things i didnt need. Decided to get a 2nd opinion from 2 other auto shops and found out toyota lied about the brakes, they were fine and they both were unable to find out my problem. I found this out going to 2 other auto shops asking for them to look into the original problem. Now today may 2019 this problem still exists, but has gotten worse. Now-the vsc light comes on, it still clicks, the abs light and warning sound goes off, feels as if abs engages, as it jerks and im unable to accelerate during this time until im on a straight away. Very scary when it happens the van starts jerking and unable to acelerate, not safe to take my family in. Never buy another toyota again... |
