I recently got an alignment and after I have noticed when lifting off in a corner the car will start pulsing the front brakes as if its trying to save itself from a slide. I wouldn't think there is a reason for it to activate VSC as the car wasn't unsettled until it started phantom braking and then it gets squirrely and scary. Any input is greatly appreciated I just want to get my car back to not trying to kill me! View attachment ALIGNMENT SUPRA.pdf

Your steering angle sensor (SAS) is likely out of calibration. When an alignment changes the thrust angle or wheel geometry, the SAS can lose its "zero-point," causing the VSC to panic and trigger phantom braking when the car is cornering off-center.

We did do an sas reset and it is still present. Should we do another just to be safe?
