| Description of the problem | While turning left in an intersection, the "brake", "warning", "stability" and "abs" warning lights came on as well as "check vsc system". Simultaneously, i lost brake power. I drove approximately 2 mi to home with no ability to control my speed using power brakes. Instead, the only brakes i had were the equivalent of using the emergency brake; a very hard, jerking motion. The toyota dealer first told me that i was low on brake fluid and i could now pick up my car. I argued that i should have seen an "idiot" light first rather than complete failure of my braking system! 5 days later, and several conversations with corporate, the "skid control computer" was replaced for $2,000! This is such a dangerous failure on an automobile! If i had been on the freeway, there certainly would have been a serious accident! This is unacceptable. Please investigate! |
