| Description of the problem | Was driving about 40 mph when all of a sudden the "check vsc system" lit up as well as the brake, and multiple others lights came on. My first instinct was to hit the brakes, which went all the way to the floor. I had to cross over 3 lanes of traffic in order to try to get to a side road. This has happened several times since then. The first incident, i called performance toyota in memphis, tenn. I slowly drove it there. They drove it for 20 miles, charged me $126. 00, and told me nothing was wrong, and that i must have hit a bump causing the 3 of the tires to spin. I don't recall hitting any bumps. They checked my brakes, which were replaced less than a year ago, and said they were in great shape and i was safe taking it on the road. Told them i was suppose to go out of town the next day. The second time it happened, @ 1 week later, my husband was driving it. I called performance toyota to report it and was told to bring it in when all the lights are lit up. I am too scared to drive this car! |
