Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD THE VSC/TRAC FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, WITH A GRINDING NOISE AND BEEPING ALARMS AS WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AND/OR ON THE FREEWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. INCIDENT LASTS APPROXIMATELY 10-20 SECONDS. ONCE IT STOPS THE VSC/TRAC LIGHT COMES ON UNTIL YOU STOP DRIVING. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD OR ON THE FREEWAY. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NO LONGER DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON LONG DISTANCE ROAD TRIPS OR ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID THAT WE WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. WE FEEL IT IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA MUST ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY.
