NHTSA Complaint #10412633 — 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

MY TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2003 IS HAVING ABS LIGHTS,BRAKE LIGHT AND VSC/TRAC LIGHTS ON PROBLEM. BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA. VSC/TRAC LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR(BRAND NEW FROM THE LOT); THEY REPLACED THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. THESE LIGHTS ARE ON AND OFF THROUGH OUT THE YEARS. FOUND OUT THE THERE IS A RECALL LAST YEAR, 2010, BUT I DID NOT GET ANY NOTICE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER JUNE 30, 2011, PAID FOR THE CHECK UP, INITIATED THE FLASHING OF ECU TO CORRECT TROUBLE CODE C1247, AND THEY SAID THAT ECU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST ME $1500.00 MINIMUM, MAYBE MORE TO FIX THE VSC/TRAC/ABS/BRAKE LIGHTS PROBLEMS. MY CAR IS NOW 110.000 MILES AND ACCORDING TO TOYOTA -TIM HOWE OF 1800 331-4331 HOT LINE NUMBER, THEY CAN NOT GIVE ANY FREE SERVICE AND PARTS DUE TO OVER 100K MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, THERE WERE 50,000 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAVE BEEN AFFECTED WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT I DID NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE TO THEM, IT IS JUST FAIR ,TOYOTA SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR WHETHER THE MILES IS LESS OR OVER 100K MILES. I MAINTAIN MY CAR TO THE FULLEST BEST, JUST TO NAME ONE RECORD, I SPENT $2000.00 FOR VALVES ADJUSTMENTS AND BELTS REPLACEMENTS AT THE SAME DEALER. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD COVER THIS REPAIR AS PER THE RECALL ISSUED ON APRIL 2010. THIS REPAIR IS A BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY ON MY PART, CONSIDERING MY JOB IS ONLY TEMPORARY. ANY ASSISTANCE TO GIVE PRESSURE TO TOYOTA WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
