Consumer Description

I OWN A LX470 2000 WITH ABOUT 148,000 MILES. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED 8 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBING HERE. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON A STRAIGHT DRY ROAD MY VSC WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM CAME ON AND VEHICLE BEGAN SWERVING VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH APPARENTLY DUE TO LEFT AND RIGHT BRAKES ENGAGING ALTERNATELY. HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40 MPH. EVERY SINGLE OCCURRENCE, THE SYSTEM ENGAGED RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 20MPH. THE DURATION OF EACH OCCURRENCE HAS BEEN FROM A COUPLE SECONDS TO 10 SECONDS. THIS HAS CAUSED A LOT OF SAFETY CONCERNS AND FRUSTRATIONS BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW TO FIX IT. PLEASE HELP IN IDENTIFYING THE FAULTY COMPONENT(S).
