Owner Complaints (5)
Your Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) warning light and alarm activate unexpectedly while driving on winding roads or highways in dry conditions at speeds between 30-70 mph, and the engine won't accelerate, making you feel like you've lost control. This happens consistently every time you drive on these road types. Multiple repair shops have been unable to diagnose or fix the issue, and you've found many similar complaints from other Sienna owners online.

While driving between 35-65 mph on dry or wet roads, your Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system triggers unexpectedly, causing warning lights and alarms to sound. When this happens, your steering wheel vibrates and the braking system pulses, reducing your control over the vehicle and slowing it down. The problem disappears on its own but returns under similar driving conditions, creating a safety concern on highways. Mechanics have only been able to reset the sensors temporarily, but the issue reappears after a short time.

AT RANDOM SPEEDS, ON CURVES AND STRAIGHTAWAYS, THE TRACTION LIGHTS ALARMS AND ENGAGES THE BRAKES. THIS SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS. OUR MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS THE CAUSE OR HOW TO FIX IT.
INTERMITTENT VSC ACTIVATION AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND DRIVING STRAIGHT FROM A STOP POSITION. THIS CONDITION IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL VSC LIGHT AND AUDIBLE WARNING BUZZER TURNING ON AT THE SAME TIME. BRAKES ACTIVATED AT SAME TIME CAUSING SKID
THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (VSC) IS MALFUNCTIONING. AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE SYSTEM GOES OFF AND BEGINS APPLYING THE BREAKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO SLICK OR WET ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS IN COLD AND DRY HOT WEATHER. IT IS ALSO NOT RELATED TO SPEED AS THE PROBLEM CONTINUES WHEN I DRIVE WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALER, AND BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.
