Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After picking my car up from the dealership from an oil change last october, my vehicle stabilty control (vsc) system zeroed the calibrations in effect shutting this system down. as a result, the car went into a sideways skid and nearly rolled. i had to have the car towed back to the dealership who recalibrated the system and accused my of inducing the skid and informed me the system if suppose to turn off if a tire starts to spin faster than another. in may, after picking the car up from another oil change at the dealership, the vsc system again zeroed the calibration while being driven from the service bay to the front. this time for know known reason. the dealership and toyota technical support have told me to take the car, drive it and "see what happens". this seems to be occurring on a 13,000 mile frequency and when the system does turn off, the car is not safe to drive. my car has been at the dealership for 9 days now.
