Abstract: A driving force control system for a vehicle that eliminates backlash in torque transmission paths when decelerating or stopping the vehicle. In the vehicle, a differential unit reverses a torque delivered from a motor to a second output shaft. A controller generates a drive torque by an engine and a control torque by the motor when stopping or decelerating the vehicle. Consequently, a difference between torque delivered from the engine to a first output shaft and torque delivered from the motor to the first output shaft is increased to a first predetermined torque or greater, and torque delivered from the motor to the second output shaft is increased to a second predetermined torque or greater.
