Driving to work traveling at between 55-60 I was going around a slight curve my foot was on the accelerator and out of no where the ABS or stability control or something caused my truck to slam on the brakes causing the front to dive down and a temporary loss of control. No crash just spooked. I drive the route every day the same way never had this happen before. The skid indicator was flashing but no noticeable skid. I am sensitive to that feeling and there was none detected prior to this happening.

This is a very commonly reported phenomenon, see the websites listed at the bottom. Reported phenomenon has occurred approximately 10 times within the previous 5000 miles. When entering a turn with no brake applied, most commonly a cloverleaf, the vehicle stability control will engage and apply the brakes in the middle of the turn. No brake lights are displayed so vehicles behind are not aware of the sudden slowing. Environmental conditions were dry, sunny, and the vehicle speed is well within a safe speed. This is very repeatable in specific locations. This problem was been reported to dublin toyota and they do not know how to fix it, but will charge me to try a zero point calibration which is not proven to resolve this known problem. ...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/112351-vsc-lift-interaction-how-common.html.... ...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/41215-lift-vsc-answer.html....... ...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/167922-who-has-problems-after-3-less-lift-vsc-who-doesnt.html..... ...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/272560-ABS-activates-occasionally-after-front-end-lift.html..... ...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/92474-recalibrating-vsc-why-how.html.....
