Owner Complaints (3)

Filed: Aug 2014

Your car's traction control, vehicle stability control, and slip indicator lights turn on together while driving, causing the car to lock up and emit a beeping noise. This has happened about 7 times since August. Toyota recalled the 2003 model for the same issue but didn't include your 2002 model, despite multiple complaints. This could be dangerous if the brakes lock unexpectedly while driving.

NHTSA #: 10625823

Your vehicle shakes violently when braking downhill at highway speeds (60-65 mph), a problem that started at just 15,000 miles. The Toyota dealer identified warped brake rotors as the cause, though they consider the brake wear normal and say you need a brake job. The shaking is severe enough that you're concerned about losing control of the vehicle.

Your vehicle shakes violently when braking downhill at highway speeds. This started at 5,000 miles, and after the dealer machined the rotors, the problem returned by 16,000 miles. You're concerned about losing control due to the severe shaking, especially since the brakes are failing repeatedly on a nearly new vehicle. The issue will likely require replacing the brake rotors and pads.
