| Description of the problem | Our brake indicator light on dash comes on intermittently since mid 2008. We've taken to the local toyota dealer 3x to diagnose. On the third visit, the service rep said the skid control computer needs to be replaced. He said when light is on, the antilock brakes will not work, nor the stability control. The estimate to replace is $2425 installed for a new skid control computer. We know of at least two of our friends that are having the identical problem. This is obviously a faulty computer and a safety issue and needs to be recalled asap. |
