Vsc (vehicle stability control) is activated in curves at speeds between 25 mph and 60 mph. Surface is dry and curves are gradual with appropriate and safe driving speeds. The vsc light goes on and warning buzzer goes off. The brakes shudder and the vehicle is de-throttled. Vehicle control is reduced for 3 to 5 seconds and then the vsc deactivates. Concerned that this will be a problem when the road surface is…

The vehicle stability control has been engaging when it should not be. While driving at moderate speeds, into a slight turn, the vsc engages for a few seconds slowing down the car. It has been doing this now for the past few months while driving at moderate speeds when it should not be engaging. It is a little disconcerting when this happens being i know that it should not be doing this at that time. *tr

Driving my 2004 toyota sienna 65mph on the highway on dry pavement the vsc light went on, a buzzer sounded, and i was unable to steer or brake the vehicle. The steering wheel started moving rapidly right and left causing the car to fishtail and the brake pedal went going in and out on its own. Everything went back to normal after about 20 seconds or so, and i pulled off into the breakdown lane. I then pulled out…

2004 toyota sienna van, the vehicle stability control system (vsc) goes into skid prevention mode and automatically applies the brakes, disconnects the accelerator, and selects one side or wheel to apply braking force to. This has the effect of causing the car to shudder, skid and move dangerously close to the outside edge of a curve. This has occurred 15-20 times in my car since its purchase. I have taken it for…

Traveling between 35-45 mph on dry, straight roads, the vsc (vehicle skid control) engaged without cause. Alarm sounded, vehicle skid light turned on, vehicle automatically applied brakes to the point that they made some squealing noise, throttle was unresponsive, and vehicle steering pulled to the left. We pulled over and stopped the vehicle, in hopes that it would clear the problem. We started up again only to…

Just over 1 year ago, the vsc warning indicator came on and it was found that one of the steering sensors was bad. I had it replaced. Two days ago, the vsc warning light came on again. From all of the research that i have done, this seems to be a reoccuring problem for toyota on the sienna's and sequoia's. *tt

The vsc has activated multiple times on my van for no apparent reason. While driving at any speed and usually in a turn, the vsc light will flash, the warning beep will beep, and the abs brakes will automatically be applied and the engine will quickly decelerate. I have almost been rear-ended several times because the van will suddenly decide to decelerate. I have no control over when this happens and no control of…

I have 2004 awd sienna. A week ago, when i started the car in a freezing morning and drove in subdivision road, the slippery light and beep came on and the brake acted here and there on the wheels. At the very beginning, i thought the road was slippery. But it was not the case. There was no way my van was skidding all the time. I was only driving at 10 mph. Then i realized the vsc was wrongly activated. Whenever i…

First complained to dealer after four incidents in first 20k miles: had online testimonials of yaw sensor, steering angle sensor and ecm replacements as possible remedies; dealer rebuffed my complaints, denying service to sensors, and suggested my…
