 I was driving my 2005 toyota sienna on a dry, straight road at about 30 mph and for no reason the vehicle stability control (vsc) engaged and brought the car to a violent stop. the nose of the car came down and i could feel the rear of the van begin to lift off of the ground. if i was traveling on a highway at a higher rate of speed, i have no doubt this van would have flipped over. i had to drive to the dealer when this occurred at least ten times while not driving over 10 mph. my dealer said they have never heard of this problem but i have found numerous owners online who have experienced this issue. *jb

 I have run flat tires on my 2005 sienna (purchased october 2004). i also bought a set of winter tires & rims) in december 2004 and since then i am alternating them 6 months of the year. have currently 21,000 miles on my vehicle. the dunlop tires are almost worn out, although i probably put on them mo more than 12-13,000 miles. part of the reason i believe is that when i bought the car(even when i test drove it) i noticed a rough ride and a pull to the left, but could not wait for the dealer to order another car, so i took it home (i bought it from a dealer out of town). also i was blaming the tire thread geometry for the rough ride, and the dealership offered me to change the tires for the cheaper ones bridgestone, but i had to pay like $80 for the operation, so i decided not to. the rough drive continued until i decided to take it to my local dealership who found out that it was misaligned. the did a free alignment but the car would still pull to the left. this, i was told, was normal, since the tires had been worn unevenly, so now they had to get the normal wear again. now the car no longer pulls, but this comes a the cost of having excessively worn tires. i see that this is not an unique case. *nm
