| Description of the problem | This is most likely a known problem. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to get it fixed, and it has been in the shop numerous time, including a toyota dealership service department. Problem: very unpredictable traction control problem which is getting worse. Whether driving down the interstate, going around a curve, or just driving on slower city roads, the traction control light and sensor will go off - frequently locking up the steering, breaking, and causing loss of control of the vehicle. This often causes the vehicle to shake violently, and it has even caused the rear of the vehicle to slide. The only way i have found to manage this is to coast until it clears out. I am fearful every time i drive it, especially on the highway. I feel it is only a matter of time before i am involved in an accident, especially if the roads happen to be wet or icy. I have seen numerous complaints on the internet, and i have filed a case with toyota. Back on 6-26-14 when i first contacted toyota after nothing seemed to fix the problem, i was told they had no knowledge of the problem, and there were no reported problems from dealerships. I just spoke with them again without any success or new information. |
