I had the control arms replaced, then one of the bolts came out after a few thousand miles. I had that bolt replaced and the problem started happening intermittently after that. Everything will be functioning fine and then the speed of my vehicle is inhibited and it is hard to accelerate. It is very difficult to get from 40 MPH up to 50 MPH. On slight curves, not always, it will beep and the slip indicator light comes on and will apply the brakes on what feels like one side. This has happened at 35-60 MPH. The slip indicator will beep sometimes until I decrease my speed to under 25 MPH. I took it into a reputable tire and front end shop and they replaced a wheel bearing with sensor, and 2 front tires. The problem happened again within 5 miles and the shop said I need to take it to Toyota dealer to have it the steering angle sensors recalibrated. The Toyota dealership said that this is something that the vehicle does itself. They inspected it and took it for a test drive and said nothing is wrong. The problem happened again within a few miles of leaving the dealership. I have read countless forums of people experiencing the same thing in their Toyota Sienna and having the dealership telling them there is not a problem. I have also found that the solution could very well be worn rack and pinion bushings that are creating the play that are triggering the sensors. I don't think they gave it a proper inspection. This is a very dangerous problem, and even more so when the dealership is saying there isn't a problem. I am feeling very lost on what to do with my van right now. I have spent $1100 and 3 days of my time with the same thing happening. I

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While my vehicle is in motion on city streets and highways at speeds between 35 and 55 MPH, on a straightaway and curve, the stability control light/and alarm comes on randomly. Sometimes it's just the alarm that sounds, and sometimes the alarm sounds and the brakes activate and the minivan swerves. Was the most frightening and dangerous experience ever with my young grandchildren riding with me. I actually had to pull over to the side of the road to calm myself. This has now happened on several occasions with today (7-24-19) being the latest experience.
I purchased new tires on may 22, 2018. In june 2019, I have had to replace three of the four goodyear aqua tread tires due to cord breakage and porches occurring.
I have received a notice from toyota about special service campaign for excessive corrosion of the spare tire carrier cable. Since that part has already failed on my car I had it replaced and followed toyota process to recover cost of that repair. I have provided required documentation ( certified mail) and then again additional documentation (certified mail) requested by toyota. I have received a letter that my case has been closed because toyota did not receive required documentation. Since then I have not received any responses to my subsequent letter or compensation for the reaiur cost.
Steering do not stay straight while I am driving this vehicle. Since I purchased, I went to toyota in the beginning they fix it but issue was not resolve and as of today same problem and I replaced new tires still alignment is the biggest problem. Lighting is not strong to see deer on the road.
Vsc sudden activation on curves 35 MPH. Beeping noise slip sensor comes on.
