When driving at any speed above 25 mph, the traction control light on the dashboard will come on, it will beep and the brake will engage without the driver pressing the brake pedal (these all happen at the same time). This in turn locks the brakes at times and the car veers to the right. There is no reason that we can figure out that this happens. It has happened many times and three days ago, it happened twice in…

I have a 2005 toyota sienna where the vsc system activated randomly and slowed our van down. When it first happened we thought that the van broke down because there was a beeping sound and it seemed like the brakes activated by itself. Kinda scared us because we were going around a turn at 60mph

Vsc system activates the abs while driving under normal conditions. Usually on interstate entrance/exit ramps, the vsc light comes on with loud beeping noise and activates the anti-lock brakes. The vehicle pulls either to the left or right and acceleration is affected. It's very scary! Speed limit on ramp is 55mph and it happens when going 45-50mph. It's also happened while driving 35 mph. It happens at multiple…

Vsc keeps engaging / with lights and alarms, the car looses power and pulls to right. This occurs unnecessarily at different speeds below 20 mph and at 65 mph on a freeway straight away and on & off ramps of the freeway. This is happening with dry / good weather operation. I have owned this vehicle for 1 week and have had this happen at least a dozen time.

Airbag light for driver side blinks off and on during driving at speeds between 35-45 mph. This occurred at 209,560 +/- miles. This is occuring with other issues in the electrical modules including abs control malfunction, power supply voltage yaw/deceleration sensor and it loses communication with steering angle sensor module. This seems to not only be an issue with my vehicle but others as well from reading many…

Check engine light, vsc and trac off. As i was driving after just purchasing this vehicle from a dealer after about 60 miles or so these lights all came on the same time. I was told after a scanner was placed on the vehicles computer system that it is due to either catalytic convertor/o2 sensor malfunctions.this is an important exhaust and emission component designed to burn up toxic exhaust fumes that sets off…

Electronic Stability Control
While driving approximately 10 - 15 mph under the speed limit on a gently curving overpass, the stability control engaged, sharply jerking the steering uncontrollably in the wrong direction and hindering my ability to steer the vehicle or brake. This has happened twice previously, both on curves, and on neither of those occasions was i exceeding the speed limit, nor was there any reason for the system to engage.

Two instances in oct 2017 of brakes activating without driver action. Braking accompanied by beeping - possibly electronic stability control (esc) activation signal. Braking reduced speed approximately 10-15mph. Both instances occurred on the same road, a curvy 45mph limit asphalt 2-lane. Conditions dry, ~50 deg f. Braking occurred on a straight section and did not pull the car to one side. Do not believe anti-lock…

While on the road, infrequently as we start hitting continuous curves, the beeping starts with slip control symbol coming on. The brakes engage on their own. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow we take the curves. I have no control over the vehicle at that point and it starts braking itself for few seconds. Very dangerous on the curves and especially if someone is behind you.

Takata inflators - when driving in city 30mph or freeway 50-60mph in curvy path, the unti-skid lock turns off even if the road was dry. When it happened frequently and a motorcycle almost slammed from behind, i brought my van to the dealer and it shows no record of the unti-skid lock being on. I insisted to take precautions and they did a zero calibration, changed new tires and realignment but problem persist. I…

This report includes two separate safety issues. First issue: after backing out of my driveway onto my street, my car would not shift into drive gear from reverse. The engine would not restart after turning the key off since it was still in reverse, even though the lever was shifted back to park. Thankfully, i don't live on a busy street and there happened to be a few linemen doing work that were able to push the…

When driving through sweeping turns on dry, paved roads, the vehicle's vsc engages, causing vehicle to self brake, pulling to the left (toward oncoming traffic), and the vsc light on the dash to blink and beep. This puts the passengers of my car in danger, as well as those in vehicles around us who are not expecting a sudden application of brakes or swerving into neighboring lane. My vehicle has been inspected at an…
