| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my car as usual to church on sunday 7/29/2007 when i noticed my check engine light, the trac off light and the vsc lights were on after reading the owners manual i determined that the car needed to be taken to toyota. i took the car in and was told that the repair was not covered and it would cost me almost 2500.00 to repair. when talking to the associate, he explained to me that the systems that had gone bad had to do with the way the vehicle will be controlled while driving and the anti-lock brakes. when i questioned him about the safety of driving the vehicle he told me that people had been driving without those units for years and my breaks may lock up but don't try to stop while going fast. i informed him that toyota had replaced the computer board for my breaks earlier (brake lights still coming on) and asked if it was possible that these things were going bad at the same time. he said it was not. i feel that this is a safety hazard to me and my family and should be taken care of. in trying to find some kind of solution to this problem, i read on tundra solutions where others have had this same problem. i was also told that both will need to be replaced at the same time. 2500.00 is a lot of money for a single parent. nothing was done to correct this problem. what do i do? *tr |
