Electronic Stability Control
While driving at or below the speed limit, under dry conditions, on curvy roads, the vsc dash light comes on and engages with beeping and automatic braking. The rapid deceleration and skidding, as the tires lock-up, makes control of the vehicle difficult and cars following must panic brake to avoid rear-ending my vehicle. Increasing occurrences over the past year.

When driving under normal conditions the vehicles' vsc will engage. The dashboard lights go off, there is a loud interior beeping sound, the abs engages, the car slows down drastically at once. The roads are dry. At first this happened while driving normal speed exiting or entering an hwy off/on ramp. Then happened yesterday as i was driving on neighborhood streets at about 25-30 mph. I could hear a rubbing on the…

The anti skid control light comes on from time to time when i am driving, especially on the highway. In addition to the light, there is warning beeping, as if i'm sliding on ice. At the same time, i completely lose control of the acceleration and braking. It's very scary, and i am concerned for my safety and my family's. This has happened multiple times on clear, dry days, so it's definitely not caused by the road…

When on a curve the traction control engages affecting the brakes and steering of the vehicle. Speed does not seem to matter, it has engaged at 10mph and at 65 mph. Last straw was when it engaged on the straight away on the highway at 65mph in the high speed lane dropping the speed down to 35mph almost causing a serious accident. It's been happening for a couple of months and two independent mechanics were not able…

The anti-skid control engaged when turning slightly on the freeway. When it engaged at highway speed (roughly 55mph) it pulled me into oncoming traffic. This is a known problem with this vehicle that should have been recalled.

I have a 2004 sienna with ~125,000 miles on itand this problem has been going on for about 2 months. It happened twice in a span of 5 minutes, and then didn; since then it has occurred with greater frequency and intermittent severity. In almost all cases, it occurs when driving 55-70 mph and while going around a right hand bend in the road, the "skid" light will come on, beep, and then the brakes will suddenly…

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. While driving approximately 50 mph, the traction control warning indicator illuminated and a warning chime sounded. The vehicle lost steering and braking ability, and the steering wheel started to jerk from left to right. The contact continued to drive and the failures went away after thirty seconds. The contact stated that the failures randomly started approximately one…

When traveling at highway speeds and usually on a slight curve to the right, the traction control alarm and breaks go off causing the van to jerk and shake. We have been told this might be low tire pressure but the tires are fine. We have had an alignment, new tires this problem happens randomly and we have not been able to reproduce it for the mechanic. We have been dealing with this for a couple of years maybe…

Traction control beeps and brakes hard at unnecessary times, even on freeway on ramps, endangering the occupants and other cars. Repeated trips to mechanics have failed to cure the problem. This has been going on for several years and occurs every day.

For no reason the vsc and traction alarm goes off the vehicle brakes on its own dangerously. It is happening daily. Usually when going high speed and around a left bend. I went and had the system reset as is called for after alignment. That didn't fix it. I had the steering angle sensor replaced and that didn't fix it. The yaw replaced and that didn't fix it. So now what? This is dangerous for my family.

I am having a massive problem with my vsc. Randomly, regardless of speeds (it's happened going 70 as well as 25, and 40 mph), my vsc will kick on, kill my speed, and cause me to swerve. As you can imagine, going 70 on an interstate with other vehicles around and having this happen is life threatening not only to me and my family but other vehicles around me. Reading on several auto forums, this problem has been…

When i drive my van the vsc and trac off lights come on intermittently and cause the vehicle to bog down and pull towards oncoming traffic. I took my van to the dealership and they suggested replacing the steering sensor. We replaced the sensor and the problem persists. With no codes coming up they say they can't fix my van. It happens while driving around corners at 35 mph mostly but has also happened a few times…

While driving at 55 mph or faster, generally on a right hand bend, the vsc will activate pulsing the brake and violently pulling the car to the left and towards oncoming traffic. The skid light goes on, and the car beeps until you are out of the turn and then it goes away. This problem has been intermittent for about 6 months but has gotten much worse and more frequent in the previous 2 months. It has been to the…

I just bought a 2004 toyota sienna xle. When driving the vehicle home i experienced the vsc (traction control system) go off with the dash light illuminating, audible tone beeping and brakes automatically applied all while on dry clean road. The first incident i was making a slight right turn to get on an onramp to the freeway. I was traveling at approximately 35mph when the vsc was activated and caused me to veer…

Brakes you automatically causing the van to veer to the right. This malfunctioning devise with the yaw system is continuing after many trips to the local toyota dealer. They currently have the van and are replacing part after part and the problem still…

When turning in a slight curve on dry surfaces the anti skid control mechanism is activated and the car begins to turn a hard right, it begins to automatically slow down and the internal beeping sound is activated. It is very hard to control the van when it happens and with the automatic slowing of the vehicle if we on a highway i fear we will be rear ended. The internet is full of other 2004 sienna van owners…

My family and i were traveling on the highway at approximately 70 mph when the traction control/vehicle stability control activated causing a beeping sound along with the dash icon blinking. This in turn locked up the left front tire. The van violently swerved to the left and i luckily gained control and pulled to the side of the highway. I thought i had just experienced a tire blow out, but to my surprise nothing…

The vsc sensor is activating during normal driving conditions without warning. This is causing the van to aggressively apply the brakes and lose acceleration. This issue mainly occurs when turning down while going down hill, however it happens randomly in other instances as well. I have been in several life threatening instances where the brakes are being applied while traveling through mountains with large semi…
