| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota yaris sedan, with 71,000 miles on it. The abs and brake light come on for times up to 2 days before going out. Toyota released a tsb in june of 2008, acknowledging the problem, to correct the problem but failed to do anything unless the customer complained. The problem is corrosion of the contact points of the rear wheel speed sensors and wiring harness in northern weather areas where we use salt. The cost to the consumer is approximately $400. 00 per side to fix it if it happens after the 3 yr. 36,000 mile warranty. I think this unacceptable. I called toyota and basally got hung up on. Can you look into this problem. Our northern customers in canada are also experiencing this problem. |
