    The vsc/trac light came on while driving. Also transmission started acting funny. From a stop sign it would hesitate and then start with a jerk. While driving at a constant speed the rpms would go up and down. I took it to an auto parts store to have them read the error code. They said it was a solenoid problem within the transmission. I took it to a transmission shop and they checked it out and ordered a…

    While driving at speed the vehicle's stability, antilock brakes and traction control functions stop functioning and the indicator light for all turn on. The cruise control disengages which caused the car to decelerate rapidly. I was in traffic and was able to accelerate to avoid an accident. The accelerator and braking appear to work properly but i am unable to reengage the cruise control. This is exactly the same…

    My 2007 6 cyl rav4 has under 30k miles on it. Was fine and after sitting un-driven in my garage for 3 weeks, now the check engine light, vsc, and [redacted] lights stay on. The transmission no longer shifts into overdrive (stays in 4th gear) at highway speeds. Random delayed acceleration when making slow speed turns (usually at intersections or passing in slow moving rush-hour traffic) resulting in sudden…

    Electronic Stability Control · Traction Control System

    An emergency stop from highway speeds (65 mph) on hot (85+f) dry pavement resulted in a significantly less than expected braking capacity. Best guess is that the traction control system throttled back available braking capacity. Brake pedal can be pushed to the floor at will but the traction control system takes over braking. The brakes cannot be immediately released and additional pressure (braking) cannot be…
