| Description of the problem | This appears to be exceptionally common. The vsc trac, vsc off and abs and parking brake lights come on, the brakes are degraded and the front end vibrates as the brakes appear to be pulsing. This has happens spare-attic ally over the years. At first we thought it was the emergency brake and we had the tightened, since it seemed that there might be something loose and it was engaging as we drove. That wasn't it, obviously and it continues to occur. With such a heavy, large truck, we have nearly rear-ended others, but got lucky. Each time the car pulls to one side sharply and you have to stop and restart the car to get all the lights to turn off and come back to normal. I have had the brakes done and redone several times and this still occurs.. On each occasion we could get out of it, but its only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. Toyota has obviously ignored this.. I have download the complaints and there are >500 on this very topic. As i read through all these, the similarity between them is beyond coincidence and it appears that nothing actually fixes this. As of right now. |
