“On dry pavement driving about 35-40 miles an hour the vsc traction sensor came on lights and sound and hit my brakes my steering went to the right I almost got in an accident this is the third time this has happened and they can't figure out what's wrong with it.”
NHTSA complaint #11328666, filed 2020-06, 154,837 miles“I was driving my Sienna on a 2 lane town road and without warning smelled smoke.

I received a call from a man saying he was hired by Toyota to investigate the fire and report back to them. …”
