Traction control system (vsc/trac) will intermittently not function for no apparent reason, causing vsc/trac lights to illuminate and potentially compromising vehicle safety. Diagnostic check of vehicle reveals a problem with the brake booster and/or a sensor within the brake booster assembly that is prone to intermittent failure on this vehicle. Replacement of the parts in question are prohibitively expensive (over $1,000) and only covered up to 3yr/36K mile on the vehicle. There is a definite failure trend present in this particular vehicle and Toyota knows about them, given the tsbs that exist for this problem. This issue needs to be addressed as a recall to ensure all vehicles, especially ones out of warranty coverage, are repaired properly.
