| Description of the problem | Check engine light, vsc and slip indicator light came on at 71000 miles. Cruise control stopped working, car began to sputter every few minutes, feeling like it was going to stall. Dealer said it was ok to drive unless lights were blinking, which they were not. Took it to advanced autocare who told me 4 pistons were registering as misfiring. Took it to the dealer who checked it out, stating that the only thing wrong was a coil which needed to be replaced. Barely avoided an accident while car stopped accelerating! Toyota is saying it's not under warranty and is normal for this to happen. This is the latest of issues with this car! Door seals not working properly and had to replace the back door seal after standing water was found in the back after it rained. |
