| Description of the problem | At 108190 miles i had the front end aligned. They attached a snap on analyzer and did a code link computer reset. As i left, the vsc light came on and would not turn off in spite of doing a zero point calibration. I took the vehicle to the toyota dealer where i bought the van new on 5/8/2003, he ran his diagnostics, got no error codes, and claimed that i needed to replace brake actuator assembly at a cost of $2721. Out of warranty. No recall on this model. Too bad. Others have seen this problem on other 2004 toyota's. The danger is that after the light is on the vehicle may decide to apply hard braking at any time and at any speed. Toyota redesigned the system in 2005. I am concerned that this will happen to me. Toyota recalled some vehicles with this problem with the vsc system in later models, why not the first year of the problem? I have heard that there is a soft recall for this problem. |
