    Traction control has randomly engaged 4 times in the past week, at speeds as low 35 mph and on the highway at 65 mph. Pavement was dry and we were driving straight, not turning. Braking is applied causing temporary loss of speed and pulling steering to one side for about 1-2 seconds. Control returns and trac control light continues to blink. Does not result in an error code.

    I was driving 65 mph on the highway going straight on dry pavement and suddenly a buzzer sounded, the vsc light came on, and the steering wheel and brakes were taken over by the vsc system and the car started weaving out of control. I could not steer or break the car. The situation is unpredictable. It easily happened on curvy or bend road and has happened 3-4 times in this year. It is scary.

    My slip indicator light comes on as i round turns and the engine seems to rpm down. This happens at normal speeds, on dry roads. Unable to drive on the highway, because when slip indicator light comes on, it also applies the front brakes at highway speeds. Other owners of toyota sienna are also having the same problem.

    I was driving my toyota sienna 2006 today morning and the driver in front of me abruptly stopped. I was maintaining a safe distance and immediately hit my brakes. Although the brakes seemed to engage, the car accelerated and very badly rear-ended the car in front me. Has this happened to anyone before with the car auto-accelerating on it's own? *tr

I initially thought it was a problem with the transmission and had it checked but it turned out okay. I then thought it was maybe a problem with the fuel line so i had it flushed but the problem persists. It happens off and on and usually when i am driving along. Because i have…
