About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
This is a very commonly reported phenomenon, see the websites listed at the bottom. Reported phenomenon has occurred approximately 10 times within the previous 5000 miles. When entering a turn with no brake applied, most commonly a cloverleaf, the vehicle stability control will engage and apply the brakes in the middle of the turn. No brake lights are displayed so vehicles behind are not aware of the sudden slowing. Environmental conditions were dry, sunny, and the vehicle speed is well within a safe speed. This is very repeatable in specific locations. This problem was been reported to dublin Toyota and they do not know how to fix it, but will charge me to try a zero point calibration which is not proven to resolve this known problem....www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-Tacoma/112351-vsc-lift-interaction-how-common.html.......http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/41215-lift-vsc-answer.html..........www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-Tacoma/167922-who-has-problems-after-3-less-lift-vsc-who-doesnt.html........http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-Tacoma/272560-ABS-activates-occasionally-after-front-end-lift.html........www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-Tacoma/92474-recalibrating-vsc-why-how.html..... my truck has an aftermarket add a leaf which increases ride height by 1.5". this truck has the same components that my previous 2006 truck had with no previous occurrences. Please keep in mind that many Toyota dealers offer this vehicle with up to a 3" lift.
