Consumer Description

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), VISIBILITY STABILE CONTROL (VSC) AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, AND BRAKE INDICATORS REMAIN ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE REPAIR CENTER HAS ADVISED ME ON DIFFERENT REPAIRS THAT ARE INCONSISTENT. ONE REPAIR OPTION IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN ONE OF MY REAR WHEELS THAT NEEDS REPLACING. THE OTHER REPAIR WAS THAT THE WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND THAT WHEN FIXED WOULD RE-SET THE SENSOR LIGHTS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE AND TOYOTA SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPAIR THE SENSOR PROBLEM. I AN NOT SURE WHY THE BEARINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME AT OVER $500.00/WHEEL. THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, CALIPERS AND OTHER BRAKE PARTS NEED FREQUENT REPLACEMENT AT A VERY HIGH COST. *TR
