I am new here and have a 06' SR5 V6 4WD. It has been one of the best vehicles I have owned and now has about 82k on it. There has been one nagging weird thing that happened again yesterday. Three times in the 4 yrs and 82k miles that I have owned it the trac control/vsc has kicked in on dry pavement just rolling along?? It kicks in as it should on loose gravel, etc but on these three occasions there was no reason at all for it to do anything. All occasions were at medium speeds, 25-35 mph, and just kind of rolling along or one was during mild braking. The first two were not to big of a deal but yesterday I was rolling around a curve and it kicked in, caught me off guard and jerked me in the other lane just a bit. I dont want to make this sound like a major safety complaint because you can still steer etc it just felt as though the left front brake engaged and caused it to veer left until I corrected it. Talked to the dealer and they cant find anything wrong and basically just act like I am crazy because they cant replicate it. Has anyone else experienced this? thoughts on what could cause it?

I have had it happen to me in a mild turn but I didn't really think anything of it. I don't think anything is wrong with it, it is just a really sensitive system.
