| Description of the problem | In november, 2013, the vsc system warning light and several other lights ("abs")came on in the car. A warning noise remains on at all times since then... The same sound that comes on if you fail to fasten your seat belt. The dealership tested the system and determined it needs a new brake actuator part which with labor comes to over $2,000. 00. I filed complaints with toyota and other national groups to no avail. I recently was notified of another toyota recall and came on this site and discovered an identical incident (nhtsa id number:10562656.) please investigate this matter and advise of the findings as it apparently is a growing issue and risk experienced and documented by owners. |
