“2002 Camry with only 50,586 miles driven very easy by my wife. Vsc trac off lights come on and stay on after car is in motion which I am told means the vehicle stability control is not working. In certain situations am told this can possibly cause an accident or injury. Took car to a Toyota dealer and am told it needs a skid control ecu and yaw rate sensor at a cost of $2600 plus tax. Have called Toyota customer assistance center and all they will do is contact the dealer's customer relations person to see what they are willing to do. I guess Toyota isn't willing to do anything. …”
NHTSA complaint #10356831, filed 2010-09, 50,586 miles“At subzero temperature (below 0) car starts with check engine light on (error code p1128), traction control and vsc disabled. Idle at 600-800 RPM. Engine does not respond to acceleration pedal, so car is not drivable. After warming engine up and erasing error code from ecu car drives normally.”
NHTSA complaint #10255411, filed 2009-01, 45,000 miles“I was on a ramp to I-520 at a speed between 45-50 miles.hr and the ramp is straight. Suddenly the car lost control and spinning - finally, I noticed the front passenger side tire is flat. The problem is the airbags were not deployed though the front (both left and right) hit the concrete wall badly and damaged badly. Also the ABS was not engaged.”
