Several times now the vsc (electronic vehicle stability control) engages at very inappropriate times nearly resulting in a collision or being pulled off the road. It happened on highways, in clear weather, and almost always on a very slight turn. The speed has varied between 45 - 65 when this occurred. I want to stress that this was in 70 degree weather. No rain. No snow. No ice. There was zero traction slippage that could have contributed to this engaging. The vehicle nearly stops and we have been fortunate to not be rear ended by semi-trucks on multiple occasions. There is a tremendous amount of complaints about this happening from lexus lx470 owners, but with very little success in identifying and fixing the problem from lexus dealerships and corporate. Please investigate this and require a mandatory recall from lexus before someone is killed.

I own a lx470 2000 with about 148,000 miles. Over the last couple of months, i have experienced 8 different times with the traction control problems as describing here. I was traveling at 65mph on a straight dry road my vsc warning light and audible alarm came on and vehicle began swerving violently back and forth apparently due to left and right brakes engaging alternately. Happened a few more times while driving at 35-40 mph. Every single occurrence, the system engaged randomly without warning and the steering wheel pulled to the right and unable to control the vehicle until the speed dropped to about 20mph. The duration of each occurrence has been from a couple seconds to 10 seconds. This has caused a lot of safety concerns and frustrations because the dealership and independent mechanics don't have a clue how to fix it. Please help in identifying the faulty component(s).

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 lexus lx470. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, the traction control warning light illuminated and the steering wheel would veer to the left and right. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 203,000.

1. Accelerating onto city street 2. The failure - the lower portion of the gas pedal became stuck under the floor mat. It happened to me twice. After figuring out what happened, as i was accelerating, i bent down and moved the floor mat. Scary, started to panic, as i couldn't brake to stop, accelerating at higher speeds, not safe to get to the floor mat and readjust it while accelerating into traffic. 3. Didn't know anything could be done until listening to news reports of this recently. *cn
