| Description of the problem | Problem with ecu unit, vsc trac and trac off light coming on in vehicle. The brakes were recently changed and it is now making a screeching noise. Something is not right. When i purchased this vehicle and took it to toyota for some other recall they told me that my ecu unit needed to be changed. The ecu unit is now on recall but they are restricting it to only 2003 model. I have a 2004 & it has the same problem the 2003 has. I feel sorry for all the money they had to pay out with other defects but i feel if there is a problem then they should own up to it and fix it. My vehicle is also losing power on turns and i think it is from this same issue based on the forums i have read. This can be dangerous especially when making turns in oncoming traffic. I would feel really bad for toyota if i were to get in an accident for something they can own up to and just repair in good faith. Very frustrated consumer. Crash was missed by inches because the truck slows down on turns. |
