Consumer Description

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL TURNS OFF WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. VEHICLE STABILITY IS COMPROMISED. ALMOST ROLLED THE TRUCK OVER. DEALER TECHNICIAN REPORTS THAT RODENTS ATE THE HOSE CONNECTING FUEL INJECTOR AIR PUMP TO VALVE WHICH TRIGGERS THE ECU TO FAULT AND CASCADES FAILURE TO STABILITY CONTROL. TECHNICIAN REPORTS THAT TOYOTA IS USING EDIBLE SOY-BASED PLASTICS FOR ENGINE HOSES AND WIRING HARNESS AND RODENTS ARE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN TOYOTA VEHICLES. TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER RELATED REPAIRS UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. WAS QUOTED $1000 TO REPLACE ONE HOSE SINCE DEALER CLAIMS TOYOTA DOES NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS HOSE. THEREFORE, THE ESC WILL NOT GET FIXED FOR SOME TIME. *JS
