| Description of the problem | Started vehicle. Would not shift out of park. Released lock manually and drove to dealer (6 miles). They replaced fusible link and found abs controller not working. I was told to drive home and they would call 4 days later on availability of used controller ($300 vs $1953). Brakes ok but no abs. Had same thing happen august 31, 2014. Had the tundra hauled to dealership. Tundra was at the dealership for a month waiting for replacement fusible link. Backordered - out of stock all the way to japan. Toyota had to manufacture more. More than expected demand? Both times warning lights for brake, check engine, abs, air bag were on. Turn signals and speedometer not working. Dealership told me they had no idea of the cause. Told them low voltage caused this to happen to another vehicle i have. Makes me wonder if there are being truthful with me and if other safety systems may be compromised. |
