Our security system has started going off at random while we are driving down the hi way at 65 mph or when we are making a turn, the 4ways start flashing and the horn starts blowing, this is scary and can cause other cars to slow or stop behind us.

problem #1

I took the vehicle to my dealership because I have four warning lights illuminated, they were brake, traction control, ABS, vsc. The dealer diagnosed the problem to be the right rear and left rear ABS sensors and cables with a replacement cost os $1357.04 plus diagnostic fee of $59.66. I asked why the sensors were defective and needed replacement, they told me it was due to corrosion from road salt. This seems like a manufacturing issue!! I've seen a Scion service bulletin (s-sb-0040-09 dated July 6, 2009) that addresses this issue. I have asked the dealer and Scion if they could help me out in any way and they're answer was no. I realize my car is our of warranty but why should an owner of a vehicle have to spend $1400 to replace components that the manufacture has since corrected the design due to this problem?
