Consumer Description

VSC/ABS SKID CONTROL ECU FAILURE. MY VSC/TRAC SENSOR AND ABS LIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT A WEEK. TWO DAYS AGO I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN MY SKID LIGHT CAME ON THE GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. AN ONCOMING BUS HAD TO SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES AND SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WE WERE ALL VERY SHAKEN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY TOYOTA DEALER TODAY, TOYOTA OF DALLAS, AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $4,500 BY DAN LAWSON, ASST SVC MGR, TO FIX THE ECU/ABS COMPUTER. I FELT THE PRICE WAS OUTRAGEOUS AND WENT TO THE NHTSA SITE TO COMPLAIN. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS PART. I AM ALSO OUTRAGED BY THE PRICE QUOTED BY MY TOYOTA DEALER. IT'S SEEMS THAT OTHERS HAVE AT LEAST BEEN QUOTED PRICES $2000-3000 LESS THAN TOYOTA OF DALLAS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS CORRECTED??? *TR
