general problems of the 2004 Toyota Sienna - part 2

Our 2004 Toyota Sienna experienced a malfunction related to the abs vsc computer control. The car would get up to about 6 miles an hour and then the vsc light and warning bell would come on. You could feel the brakes trying to lock up the vehicle and bring it to a stop. My wife was fixing to get onto the highway when this occurred. I found the technical service bulletin # 10011806 related to this event, the vehicle is currently at the Toyota dealership and I am waiting to hear back from them.

The vsc has activated multiple times on my van for no apparent reason. While driving at any speed and usually in a turn, the vsc light will flash, the warning beep will beep, and the abs brakes will automatically be applied and the engine will quickly decelerate. I have almost been rear-ended several times because the van will suddenly decide to decelerate. I have no control over when this happens and no control of the van when it does!.
