“WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL OF THE GAUGES STALLED OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. THE CAR GAUGES CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES, PRESENTLY THE GAUGES ARE TAKING A LONGER TIME TO COME BACK ON, IN ADDITION WHILE THE GAUGES ARE OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OFF AS WELL, WHEN ALL THE GAUGES COME BACK ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE THE CARE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE WHEN THE GAUGES GO OFF THE CAR IS HARD TO STEER. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN.”

“THE ABS SENSOR/MODULE HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. I SPENT SEVERAL THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSTICS YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE. NOW IT HAS GONE CRAZY AGAIN. THE DASH HAS BEEN REPLACED DUE TO BEING STICKY. THE CAR ITSELF BURNS OIL, WE ARE CONSTANTLY CHECKING AND ADDING TO IT. IT SEEMS SEVERAL HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE FIXING THEM. *TR”
