NHTSA Complaint #10821057 — 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA

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. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY OTHER TOYOTA SIENNA OWNERS IN YOUTUBE VIDEOS: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TGMJAFPIFKO, HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SY9A8SHJ0XG. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, IT HAS NOT SHOWN A CODE, SO THEY CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ANOTHER MECHANIC CHECKED AND DID THE ZERO POINT CALIBRATION, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A THIRD MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NO ACTUAL READING ON THE STEERING ANGLE, ALTHOUGH THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR SEEMS TO BE WORKING. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE A DANGEROUS CAR, WHICH WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SELL OR TRADE IN WITHOUT TAKING A SERIOUS LOSS.
