Consumer Description

AFTER A SNOWSTORM, MY ABS, VSC, STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. STAYED ON. TOOK TO MECHANIC, THEY WENT OUT. HE SUSPECTS ICE BUILD UP. RAN SCAN. IT SHOWS RIGHT REAR WHEEL SENSOR PROBLEM. LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. SON'S CAR IS IN SHOP FOR GM IGNITION RECALL FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. SO HE DROVE MY SCION TO COLLEGE. CALLED ME AND SAID LIGHTS WERE ON AGAIN. I CALLED MECHANIC, HE FEELS IT COULD BE WHEEL BEARING OR SPEED SENSOR IN THAT WHEEL, EITHER RUST OR CORROSION DUE TO INTERMITTENT LIGHTS. HE CHECKED IT AGAIN. NOW VSC AND TRACTION LIGHTS ARE ON ANYTIME CAR IS DRIVE. I AM TAKING IT IN TODAY FOR WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MY DREAM CAR!!! TOYOTA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! *TR
