criticalELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
Filed: Nov 2019

While driving, your vehicle's VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) warning light flashes and an alarm sounds, then the car automatically applies the brakes, causing it to veer into another lane. This unexpected braking and loss of directional control could put you and other drivers at risk. The issue likely involves a malfunction in the stability control system's sensors or control module that needs diagnosis and repair.

I'VE TAKEN TO 6 MECHANICS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS NO CONSTANTLY ON. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY WANTED $400 TO DIAGNOSE AND THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE I LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WHEN THE ROAD IS CLEAR AND DRY. IT BEEPS AND I GUESS TRIES TO STABILIZE ITSELF. ALWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY. ON THE STREETS THE TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES FREQUENTLY.
