Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vsc dash light ("idiot light") has been consistently on now for the last 10,000 miles (current odometer = 51,000 +/-). the light was on intermittently starting before the vehicle was 1-1/2 years old (<25,000 miles.) *jb in addition to the vsc light, the 'brake' light stays on (originally illuminated only when the parking brake was engaged.), plus the abs light is consistently lit. the vehicle was taken to toyota more than once with the vsc/abs/brake lights complaint, but toyota was unable to diagnose any problem until a service performed after the 36,000 mi warranty expired, at which point the dealer thought an abs computer replacement might solve the problem. the dealer did not acknowledge any problem until after this 36,000 mile point despite intermittent events occurring very early on.
