Consumer Description

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AROUND CURVES. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MILES PER HOUR ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD, THE ANTI SKID LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITHOUT WARNING ON A DRY PAVED ROAD WITH A SUBSEQUENT SUDDEN PULL TO THE RIGHT AND "GRINDING" NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE TOYOTA DEALER CAN NOT HELP, SINCE HE CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE PULLED THE VEHICLE ACROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. (HAD THERE BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT)
