Problems with VSC warnings

I have a 2009 Venza. Love the car however now having constant issues with VSC lights coming on. Many other people experiencing same thing. Dealers don't have a fix but they won't tell you that because they want to make some money. This is an issue with Toyota, they know this. I suggest you all do what I did, go to Toyota's website and post your concern, demand a recall. This issue seems to be escalating from the warning lights being on to car jumping into gear on it's own. We should not have to pay for constant repairs for something that only Toyota can fix.
Love my Venza!

I originally wanted a Chrysler Pacifica and was very disappointed that they stopped producing this car. I drove a Subaru Outback for 11 years and I loved this car dearly. I was planning on buying another or Venza, or a Pacifica. I loved the LOOK of the Venza, however the 2009's were pathetic inside. I waited and kept hoping it would improve. I read alot of reviews and the number one complaint was the rough ride. It definitely has a stiff ride but that to me makes it fun to drive. I loved my AWD, but the FWD is working quite nice as well. It is also does not have excellent fuel economy, but is comparable to my Subaru's mileage. Everyday I tell someone, I LOVE MY VENZA!
Car has been incredibly dependable.

We bought this car new in 2011. It's now 2021 and we have put almost 190K miles on it. In all that time and miles, the only issues we have had were a wheel bearing and the radiator. One of the front wheel bearings went out relatively early in it's life (maybe around 70K miles). The mechanic had a trick to repair the bearing (normally you have to replace it). He saved us a bunch of money doing that and it's still going fine. The other bearing has been fine all this time, so the first one was probably defective from the factory. The radiator had a small leak around 120K miles. We replaced it and it's been good since then. Besides normal maintenance (oil, brakes, fluids, spark plugs, etc), I replaced the rear 2 shock/struts myself at around 180K miles. That's it! The car looks incredibly good and people can't believe it is so old with so many miles. The interior has held up perfectly. The seats look great and the dash is perfect. It drives like new and we average 22 mpg. I plan to put 250K on it before looking for a new ride.
Love it and almost 100k miles!

I bought a 2010 Venza V6 2wd with approximately 20k miles on it in the summer of 2010. It is now August 2013 and I have a little over 98k on the odometer. I love this car! I have had no problems and no issues at all. I am a car freak and typically trade every year. I traded a 2009 Lincoln MKX for this Toyota. I realized that trading so often was simply costing too much so I wanted a car that I could keep for at least 150k miles and looks good...I made the right choice. It has plenty of power and I am averaging approx 20 MPG between city and hwy. I did have a cosmetic issue with a wheel. If you scrape a curb, the wheel paint can start to peel off in large chunks. Besides that, very happy.
Tires not that much of an issue.

Look at Yokohama Parada Spec-X 420 treadwear rating are 194 each set of 4 with tax in Texas is $915 installed at Discount Tire, Good year has a cheaper tire ar $125 each but it has lower tread rating and a more aggresive tread that will lead to more road noise. The good years can be had for under $600 installed but they would be inferior to the Yokohamas . Remember this car is a more comfortable alternative to a SUV their tires will usually cost almost as much and in some cases more.
