| Description of the problem | On july 16, 2014 i turned my car on, ready to return home to new jersey from brooklyn, at this point the brake light signal, abs, and warning icon all turned on. The camera displayed a text stating brake malfunction and giving instructions to park the car immediately. I called the toyota 800 number and followed their recommendations, l had the car tow to the nearest toyota dealer, bay ridge toyota of brooklyn. I picked up the car on the 18 th, i was told they ran all tests an they found everything properly installed. They scan test clean all dtc performed initialization and calibration of the linear solenoid valve. They road tested the vehicle and confirmed repair, no lights on, at a cost of $227 plus tax. Today the 28 of october as i turned my car on i face the same problem all the brake lights, abs, warning, and display text indicating malfunction, to stop the car. I again called for tow went to toyota of hillside in nj, explained what happened. Was ask why i had the car tow after telling the service representative about the brakes. How can anyone drive a vehicle that is warning you not to do so. I also spoke to the service manager stating that i don't think i should pay for this service again since its been only 1500 miles or a little over 90 days since the same problem. Am sure there's more to this. Thank you |
