Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A FLAT CONCRETE PAVED ROAD IN DRY CONDITIONS, THE SLIPPERY WET LAMP LIT AND THE ALARM SOUNDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS WHILE THE ABS BRAKES ENGAGED ON. THE LAMP FLASHED UNTIL THE BRAKES RELEASED AND THE VSC TRAC AND TRAC OFF LAMPS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN WHICH THE SKID CONTROL ECU WAS REPLACED FOR $770.79. THIS IS A REPEATED OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEMS. I DELIVERED THE VEHICLE BACK TO TOYOTA TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE MAINTENANCE COST $1,606.24 AND THEY KEPT IF FOR 5 DAYS. *TR
