| Description of the problem | First: i got check vsc system when i made a u-turn. I read the failure code is c1391. So, it means abs accumulator is leaking. I also noticed abs accumulator was pretty noise about two month before. I though it may be a problem, but i did not pay attention on it because i was suffering the engine oil consumption. Now, it really died. I got many cases online about this issues and they reported that toyota has redesigned this accumulator, so it means toyota already knew this problem. This is a very important issue. It may cause deadly accident if the brake doesn't work suddenly. In addition, fix this problem needs over two thousands dollars. It should not be paid by owner since this is a design defect. I hope toyota will recall this problem. Second, this car's engine piston ring has defect. This causes engine oil consumption. In fact, my car is burning engine oil now. It's about 1500 miles/0. 6quart. It will get worse and this also may cause engine failure in the future. |
