Vsa Warning Light On problems of the 2006 Toyota Sienna

While driving the stability warning light comes on, starts beeping loudly and my brakes and steering wheel lock up. This has happened multiple times on the freeway, on freeway entrances with a slight turn and even while just driving straight. Each time, the weather was clear and the roads are dry. This happens whether I am driving at a slow speed entering a slight turn on the highway anywhere from 20 to 40 mph and has recently happened while driving about 50 mph on a dry highway just driving straight. The car has also began beeping and flashing the stability light without locking up the steering and brakes. I have almost cause a few accidents with cars almost rear ending my van and me almost sideswiping other cars while this is happening and I have no control of the car. This is frightening! I have had my struts replaced, right drive shaft, brakes, tires, alignment. The repair shops say they have not been able to duplicate this issue when they drive it. There does not appear to be a recall on anything to do with this which is shocking. I have a Sienna van so I can carry multiple people with me. I have my infant grandchild with me in this van each day as well as my teenage daughter. I have an appointment with maita Toyota tomorrow morning (1/25/18), we'll see what they say, but honestly, I feel Toyota needs to stand by their cars and fix this issue at no charge. There are complaints describing this exact issue all over the internet so it is not an isolated problem. This form asks for the date this happened below, I'll add todays date, but it has been going on for over a year.

While driving my 2006 Toyota Sienna minivan the vehicle stability control light and alarms come on when driving in non hazardous conditions (e. G. . No water on the highway). This happens occasionally on straight roads as well as curves and hills when driving at highway speeds. The steering wheel may "lockup" for a few seconds and the brakes seem to engage. The problem corrects itself and may go away or reappear in a few miles. This happened on our 2006 Sienna a few years ago but we replaced the defective tires and the problem went away until recently. I have read that other Sienna minivan owners have experienced this problem with their vehicles and some owners have had hit-or-miss success in getting the issue resolved when taking the car in for service from a Toyota dealership. My next step is to take my car into our local Toyota dealer to perform a diagnostic exam to try and determine the cause of the vehicle stability control issue. I have contacted Toyota customer care to let them know of this issue. I have read that several other makes of Toyota vehicles have experienced vehicle stability control issues in the past and have been recalled (such as the 2003 Toyota sequoia).

While driving on freeway the stability control light came on, warning started beeping, and brakes were automatically applied. The vehicle had no power until it had slowed down, then had reduced power. The beeping continued and the dashboard warning light remained on for a few minutes. After the beeping and the light went out, drivability was normal. The car behind us nearly collided with us when this happened. Conditions: smooth, dry pavement. Nothing that should have caused this problem. This problem has occured a half dozen times over the last week or two.

When driving around 40-65 mph, the car begins to beep, the vsc light and stability control (slip indicator) lights come on, the brakes are applied, and the steering wheel seems to act on its own for a few seconds. It cannot always be replicated, but has occurred more than once on the same curve and about a dozen times over the past couple of years. This is a very frightening event, especially since it happens at higher speeds and on a curve. . Read more...
