Consumer Description

OUR VSC STARTED ACTING UP WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2-1/2 YEARS AGO FROM CARMAX. AFTER OWNING IT FOR NOT MORE THAN 2 MONTHS THE VSC LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL WE WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THEN THE COMPUTER WOULD RESET ITSELF. THEN OUR BACK PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WENT BAD AND WE HAD TOYOTA FIX THE WHEEL BEARING PROBLEM. TOYOTA STATED THAT AFTER THEY FIXED THE BEARING THE VSC COMPUTER WOULDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH THE WHEEL THAT WAS FIXED. THEY KNEW THE VSC COMPUTER WENT BAD AND TOLD US THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT FOR FREE. IT WOULD COST $900.00 TO FIX THE FAULTY VSC COMPUTER. WE NEEDED AN INSPECTION STICKER AND THEY PASSED THE VEHICLE WITH ALL THE VSC LIGHTS AND RED BRAKE LIGHT ON. THIS MEANS THAT THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSTABLE TO DRIVE. OUR SON HAS LEUKEMIA SO WE HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN INSPECTION STICKER. THE LOCAL INSPECTION PLACE IN TEXAS SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT PASS THIS VEHICLE IF THE RED BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VSC COMPUTER IN THIS 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. *TR
