Consumer Description

THE TRACTION CONTROL, VSC LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. I AM SCARED THAT IF I NEED TO AVOID A IMPEDING ACCIDENT THAT BECAUSE THE VSC SYSTEM NOT WORKING THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY AVOID A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT. I AM ALSO SCARED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY ROLLOVER WHEN DOING A FAST TURN TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE VEHICLES AND THAT THERE WAS A 2003 RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2002 VEHICLES AND IT NEEDS TO GET FIXED. MUST WE FIRST HAVE AN ACCIDENT TO WIN RIGHTS TO BE ACCOMMODATED. DOES TOYOTA NOT WANT TO MAKE GOOD ON IT'S PRODUCT AND SATISFY ALL OWNERS/CUSTOMERS. I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND THANK GOD EACH TIME I REACH MY DESTINATION WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR
