While driving the vsc light and alarm flash and sound and the vehicle applies the brakes causing vehicle to veer into other lane.
When driving 25-30 mph and going around curves at low speed the car breaks hard and feels like it's going out of control. It is very scary because the vehicle is in motion doing 25-30 mph. This is happening more often at least three times this week. This has happened on freeway and on residential streets while going around curves and not going fast at all. .
I've taken to 6 mechanics and no one knows what it is because the light is no constantly on. I took it to Toyota and they wanted $400 to diagnose and there was no guarantee. I think this is a serious dangerous issue because I lose control of my vehicle when the road is clear and dry. It beeps and I guess tries to stabilize itself. Always on the highway. On the streets the traction light flashes frequently.
As I exit the highway on sharp off ramps or take other similar tight turns, vsc trac sensor lights turns on and off and I can hear grinding noise when traction control auto-engages and disengages. The roadways have never been slick or wet and this issue has occurred at various speeds (30-50 mph).
