Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had the front brakes and rotors replaced a few weeks ago. This past weekend all 4 tires were replaced. When driving off the dealer after the tire replacement, I noticed the ABS and vsc lights were on. Turned back and took the minivan back to the dealer. Next day service mgr said according to the mechanic, the ABS actuator needs to be replaced. This is a $2500 part, plus labor.”
NHTSA complaint #11142372, filed 2018-10, 130,000 miles“As I drive on dry roads at speeds between 35 - 65mph, my car indicator lights and alarm sound off about vsc (vehicle stability control) and slippery road lights on my dashboard. My vehicle's steering and braking are affected by it. It starts to rattle the steering wheel and the braking pumps - causing a reduction in speed and control for the driver. It caused me to fear a possible vehicular accident so much that I pulled off the road. The problem then disappears and doesn't reappear until I encounter a similar driving condition. …”
NHTSA complaint #11349661, filed 2020-08, 140,000 miles“When driving in perfectly dry conditions and going anywhere from 30-70 MPH on a winding road or highway, the vsc lights will come on and the alarm will sound and you can't accelerate. It's very scary and dangerous because you are not in control of the vehicle. It happens every time we go for a drive on a winding road or highway. I have read hundreds of similar complaints from other Sienna owners. It's clearly a widespread problem. Toyota needs to issue a recall as all the repair shops we have gone to cannot figure out how to fix the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11365893, filed 2020-10, 90,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10865397, filed 2016-05, 135,000 miles“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”
