Hello


The Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

The vsc and no trac comes on periodically in my 2004 toyota sienna van.

That is a common problem, if somebody does an alignment, or rotation on old tires or you hit a sidewalk and damage a rim, anything that can alter the steering angles of the vehicle can trigger a red flag and set a code for steering angle sensor calibration, only dealers and shops with the right equipment can perform this inexpensive procedure

Jeep front end shakes badly when driving down the highway at speeds of 45 miles an hour to 55 miles an hour. The whole front end, tires shift from side to side, almost coming out from under the front end...

Bent rods....Okay...first thing...did you hit anything or or run over anything? Second, did you go off-roading....

It could be a few things....some easy and some expensive...but need to know what you have done with the Jeep first.
