Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Owner Narrative
THE ABS, VSC AND BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. HAD TO PAY 110.00 TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS RUN-THEY FOUND THAT THE R REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WIRE HAD FRAYED AND MALFUNCTIONED. I AM ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT THE CONSULTANT AT TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT MY ABS, VSC WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE THE SENSOR IS BAD. SO I HAVE TO PAY $ 1070.16 TO REPLACE THE R REAR HUB,BEARING, SENSOR AND HARNESS. I FEEL THIS IS POOR DESIGN AND FROM WHAT I SEE ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POOR DESIGN-TOYOTA/SCION IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL FAULTY PARTS/DESIGN. *KB
