Consumer Description

I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT MAKING YIELDING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO A MAIN RIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING OR BRAKES. THE VSC TRAC AND TRAC LIGHT SENSOR LIGHTS CAME ONE AND I HEARD THIS AWFUL GRINDING NOISE. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME SLOWLY ON BACK ROADS. ONCE I GOT HOME I LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THE 2003 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 2002. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WILL COST ANYWHERE FROM $1500-$4000 TO FIX. MY CAR ONLY HAS 114,000 MILES ON IT AND I FIND THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR
