VSC-Stability Control System

I have a 2003 4Runner V8 4X4. It just went over 1000 miles. Last weekend when I was driving it in perfect driving conditions (southern caifornia, sunny, dry pavement) on the freeway, the VSC system randomly got triggered on 3 different occasions within about a 15 minute time period. Needless to say, when you're driving along at the speed limit and the vehicle starts brakeing itself from a freeway speeds randomly with no input from the driver, it's a really harrowing experience. I almost lost control of the vehicle, but luckily no one was right behind me or next to me and I didn't crash. The only thing the dealer has done is to check the codes (for which nothing registered) and try drving the truck themselves to see if the condition repeats (which it hasn't in about 50 miles of driving). They're unwilling to replace any components of the system without being able to make the condition repeat. I'm exrtremely worried and don't feel safe driving the car while worrying that this same condition could recur, and I'm extremely frustrated having paid up to get the 4Runner in large part because of it's safety features including the VSC system. Has anyone encountered similar problems? The dealer mentioned that they had a Sequoia that had a similar problem (no codes recorded after random triggering of the VSC), but they were able to repeat the condition while driving it. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing the problem so I can suggest the dealer look into that? Otherwise, what do you suggest I do? I love the truck, but absolutely don't feel comfortable driving it or having my family in it without anything being done to address the issue. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
