| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My vsc & track off lights will not turn off. i lose control of my car at about 5 miles per hour due to this problem about once every other day. toyota advertises this break system as a safety feature on their website, yet dealership says it's not a safety issue. the dealership told me that the computer controlling this has failed & needs to be replace at a cost of $1300. my car is not yet 3 years old but just out of mileage warranty, so they said this cost was up to me to pay. my mother owns the same model & year sequoia & the exact same problem happened to her car & the same dealership fixed her problem at 36k miles but won't fix mine @ 46k b/c i'm out of warranty. my husband's employer had same problem at 40k miles on his 2003 sequoia & had to pay for the repair. i know personally 5 families who own sequoias & 4 of us have had the exact problem. the 5th just bought their car 4 months ago, so we are just waiting for their problem to occur. i'm meeting with the district factory rep tomorrow & will bring up the number of complaints on this website about the vsc computer failure. *nm |
