problem #1

Feb 032007

Sienna 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 48,000 miles
I was driving my 2005 Toyota Sienna on a dry, straight road at about 30 mph and for no reason the vehicle stability control (vsc) engaged and brought the car to a violent stop. The nose of the car came down and I could feel the rear of the van begin to lift off of the ground. If I was traveling on a highway at a higher rate of speed, I have no doubt this van would have flipped over. I had to drive to the dealer when this occurred at least ten times while not driving over 10 mph. My dealer said they have never heard of this problem but I have found numerous owners online who have experienced this issue.
