| Description of the problem | Took vehicle to toyota dealership on 3-1-10 for accelerator recall repair. On 3-13-10, during normal operation, several warning lights on dashboard came on and some were flashing as follows: vsc off-flashing, slip indicator-steady on, 4hi-flashing, 4 lo-flashing, abs-steady on. I stopped vehicle and turned ignition off. I restarted the vehicle, all warning lights were off and started driving again. Fifteen minutes later the same condition occurred, same warning lights. I stopped the vehicle and turned off the ignition. I called the toyota dealership and the service department said they had no idea what would cause this condition and to continue to drive the vehicle. Over the next two days the same condition seemed to recur every time i drove the vehicle. On 3-15-10 the dealership picked up my vehicle for repair. They returned the vehicle to me the same day and told me to continue driving it as they had to order parts (right rear wheel speed sensor) and would call me when the parts came in to schedule repair. Over the next 9 days (waiting for parts), condition seemed yet even worse, uneven "jerky" acceleration, unexpected abs activation and/or braking. Inermittantly there would sometimes be what sounded like a grinding and/or clunking noise that sounded like it could be coming from the brakes and/or transmission. On 3-24-10 the toyota dealership received the parts (right rear wheel speed sensor) and installed the same. That did not fix the problem. To date (3-31-10) the toyota dealership still has my vehicle, they have replaced the right rear wheel speed sensor, wiring harness to the wheel speed sensor and stated today they will be replacing the wiring harness from the abs modulator to the wiring harness to the wheel speed sensor. I also spoke to the service manager at the dealership today (3-31-10) and he stated they would not return my vehicle to me until the problems are repaired as it is a "safety hazard". |
