| Description of the problem | One day after toyota replaced my rear brakes and rotors, i was driving when suddenly the brake and abs lights on the dash lit up, the speedometer dropped to zero, the tachometer dropped to zero, and the engine temperature gauge fluttered between zero and midrange. The first occurrence lasted only a minute or two, but on the next morning it happened twice, each occurrence lasting several minutes. It was very disconcerting to be driving on the highway and not have a working speedometer and not know if there was something wrong with the brakes, since both the brake and abs warning lights were lit. I took it to toyota that morning and it took them 4 days to diagnose the problem, coming to the conclusion with help from toyota headquarters that it must be the abs computer. It costs $1800 plus they are charging me 8 hours of labor (even though they spent several days trying to diagnose it) for a total of $2700. When my wife found out how much it would cost, she googled the problem and in a second there were other identical complaints mentioning the abs computer replacement. |
