| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am another victim of the ongoing problem for 2003 toyota sequoia, vcs traction control light on. so this past weekend being on a trip the light come on and we took it to the dealership and gaves us a surprise repair $1,448.50 for part 89541-0c062 and 896300c011 $751.54 so with labor some in the 2,500 dls. so i told the service guy what was the risk of driving this unit like that. in my own words is like having an 1980's suburban. my husband did a research on the internet on tundrasulutions etc. and there are a lot of cases of this problem arousing around 40,000 miles or less. we have a 4 year old son and we are "scared" to drive this truck without of any of the safety features now i was told that the traction control computer and the main computer needed to replace and that this will disable abs and traction controls. so this means that i have a 1980 suburban. we are very upset because we call toyota and they can't do anything about it, they refer me to the dealership service manager that probably can offer me a discount outside warranty. we need nhtsa to start investigating this issue there are thousands of users that already paid for this repair that don't even know how to file a complaint. don't let this issue get out of hand, please don't waint until there are people hurt. my truck is worth around 14,000 the repair is 2500 the repair is 18% worth of the whole vehicle. toyota knows about this problem if they sell a car with defective parts they should replace it. *tr |
