| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Began having indicator lights on dashboard of my vehicle (toyota sienna 2002) come on for no apparent reason; specifically, the csv and brake lights concurrently. it seemed to occur more when temperature was cold outside. initially thought it was a faulty sensor, but when the intermittent nature of fault became more frequent, was concerned could be a serious brake problem. i took to dealer; diagnosis was a 'faulty sensor' on the wheel's "sensor/hub assembly". apparently, it is impossible to replace the faulty sensor without replacing the complete assembly at a cost of over $600 for the part, not including labor, at $115/hr. (it also took them an hr just to diagnose, so add another $115). they disabled sensor while part on order, which meant that my anti-lock breaks - a key safety feature of the vehicle-- will not work until part is replaced. while my car is over 4 yrs old, it only has 31,042 miles on it. i find it unbelievable that a part of this significance to safety has failed at such a minimal amount of miles. moreover, it was reported to me by dealer's service tech, that they "hardly ever have failures of this part". it may be a statistical anomaly...or not...perhaps they have discouraged folks from reporting this very costly failure of a key safety related part. *nm |
