Consumer Description

SKID CONTROL ECU ISSUE...MY 2003 RECENTLY STARTED HAVING A FAILURE IN THE ECU AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES TO GO INTO ABS MODE RANDOMLY DURING ACCELERATION AND NOT STOP PROPERLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT, VSC OFF AND TRAC OFF ALL GO OFF AND THE BRAKES GO OUT AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT TOYOTA IS DOING OR NOT DOING TO FIX THIS. I HAD THE ECU RECALL "SOFTWARE UPGRADE" BACK IN 2011. THEY ONLY WARRANTIED THE WORK FOR 1 YEAR, WELL NOW MY COMPUTER IS FAILING AND REPLACEMENT IS $1500. THIS IS A FORMAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A REPLACEMENT ECU YEARS AGO AND I WASN'T INFORMED
