| Description of the problem | 2009 toyota venza -vsc/trac . This problem has occured twice. Once in a parking lot and the other at a stop light. In the parking lot, i put the car in drive and the vsc light came on. Car was stuck - it would not move forward. Brake was lightly applied, not heavily applied. To fix problem, put car in park and started all over again. Problem resolved. 5 days later, i pulled out of a parking light and started to lightly apply the brakes for an upcoming red light. After i was stopped for about 30 seconds, the vsc/trac light came on again and the car was stuck (would not move forward). I tried tapping breaks to release, but ultimately had to put the car in park, turn off the car and start over again. In both instances, i did not have my foot heavily on the brake. In the first instance, i was on a less than 1% decline and the 2nd instance was on a flat road - and the roads were dry. I tried to reproduce the problem at home, but found the only way i could get the vsc light to come on was by heavily applying the brake. In both instances described, i had not applied the brake heavily at all. |
