Vehicle stability control/traction control computer defect.

- Vienna, VA, USA

We had a 100,000 mile service with a Toyota dealer. Shortly after the vsc/ABS lights started coming on whenever the vehicle was placed in drive. They insist it is the skid control and ECU computers that need to be replaced. I have identified a number of other consumers with the same complaint. When will NHTSA investigate this and force a recall?

Vsc/ABS skid control warning lights on continuously. Vsc/ABS skid control system is inoperable. Dealer diagnosed problem as faulty brake booster switch and/or skid control ECU. Vsc is non-functioning while warning lights are on affecting vehicle handling in slippery conditions (safety issue ). repair cost is substantial. Have found many identical complaints from other 2001-2003 Toyota Sequoia owners on Tundra solutions forum and related discussions at edmunds.com.

Brake, ABS, skid control warning lights on, dealer service checked and recommended replacing battery which was done by them. Following day warning lights still on intermittently, returned to dealer for service but the warning lights would not come on while the dealer had it. Was advised it was not a safety issue, just malfunctioning warning lights. Now( October 2007) the lights are always on and when returned to dealer for service again was told this time it was the skid control ECU, and recommend replacing skid control ECU. Was also told it that the ABS and skid control were not functioning when lights were on so handling would be affected (safety issue ). at this time I am gathering information on whether it should be replaced or not.
