problem #1

Jul 142007

Sequoia 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,500 miles
I am another victim of the ongoing problem for 2003 Toyota Sequoia, vcs traction control light on. So this past weekend being on a trip the light come on and we took it to the dealership and gaves us a surprise repair $1,448.50 for part 89541-0C062 and 896300C011 $751.54 so with labor some in the 2,500 dls. So I told the service guy what was the risk of driving this unit like that. In my own words is like having an 1980's Suburban. My husband did a research on the internet on tundrasulutions etc. And there are a lot of cases of this problem arousing around 40,000 miles or less. We have a 4 year old son and we are "scared" to drive this truck without of any of the safety features now I was told that the traction control computer and the main computer needed to replace and that this will disable ABS and traction controls. So this means that I have a 1980 Suburban. We are very upset because we call Toyota and they can't do anything about it, they refer me to the dealership service manager that probably can offer me a discount outside warranty. We need NHTSA to start investigating this issue there are thousands of users that already paid for this repair that don't even know how to file a complaint. Don't let this issue get out of hand, please don't waint until there are people hurt. My truck is worth around 14,000 the repair is 2500 the repair is 18% worth of the whole vehicle. Toyota knows about this problem if they sell a car with defective parts they should replace it.
