Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My vsc/trac sensor has been going on and off and every time i needed to have it check, the problem never appears. except for today, the light has stayed on and my mechanic was able to diagnosed and verified it with toyota's tsb as a defective vsc/trac ecu and he recommended that i take it to a dealer for the replacement and installation of the new ecu. several tsb's are posted on the nhtsa website regarding this problem for my vehicle year and make. my complaint is, i feel that it is unacceptable that a computer device that plays a vital role in the safety performance of the vehicle should not have failed within 5 years, especially for a considerable cost to have it replace after the warranty period. toyota should have at least sent out notices to the owners regarding this potential problem. *jb
