MY18 GXL Loss of drive on sharp turns

[JETURBO Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close JETURBO]

Ok so I’ve got 20,000kms on my bus and now ( never previously ) it feels like when you’ve got the wheels turned nearly full lock and take off to go around a corner the Traction control or something kicks in hard and pulls all power out and shutters the vehicle.

Its only something new that’s happening and its a royal PITA to not have it engaging regularly on takeoff turns or zipping through side streets etc etc

anyone know what it might be as its not what i would call typical traction control but a full on loss of any power

thanks in advance !

Any lift or larger tyres?

I have experienced this a couple times after installing a 2” lift and larger Muddies on my last Prado.

When coming into a corner with a little to much speed the traction control would kick in.

I only ever experienced this once I had installed 275/65/18 muddies.

I ran on the same vehicle 265/65/18 & 285/60/18 ATs and never had issues with them just the muddies which were slightly larger.
