Replying to: 39120 (Nov 17, 2004 7:09 pm) some previous posts show that a loose vacuum hose might be the reason. So I tight it myself couples of times, but the light was still on for about a week. during that week, I was changing the coolant for the first time, and couples of days later, the check engine/VSC light was off. everything back to normal and never happened again. I can't tell any difference when the light is on or off. I guess there might be a sensor to tell that coolant needs to be changed and that generate error on Check Engine/VSC light? Could it be? try search by "engine light" in this forum, you will find all the information about loose vacuume hose issue. Good luck. |

Replying to: hmurphy (Nov 16, 2004 11:50 am) There are several other things which I wasn't aware of until after the fact but documentation and spend as long as it takes in the 'drive test' to make sure the arbitrator has a full knowledge of what this car is doing. They will assume it is hesitating from stop to start rather than cutting out in the 20 to 30 mph range. In other words ....Be Specific and use the time to your benefit. |

Replying to: jcor (Nov 11, 2004 1:40 pm) follow up with complaints to every agency listed in previous posts and any other you might know of. I am in the process of beginning to write to Consumer magazines, groups, etc to stop the Toyota hype and prevent them from continuing to bamboozle unsuspecting customers.

Replying to: leighanne4 (Nov 18, 2004 8:38 pm) When I had a ton of brake problems with my new Honda Accord (and lots of other owners had them, too), I wrote to Consumer Reports about it, and they simply directed me to the NHTSA to file a complaint. I don't want to put a damper on your efforts... I'm just relating my experience. |

I see a number of advisories about posting alledged complaints at subject website. It has been shown many times that it is possible to register complaints there without any authentication whatsoever. Be advised that none of the complaints there are verified, and it's easy to log a complaint without a legitimate E-Mail address. A similar situation exists at the NHTSA site, where acomplaint can be logged, but it doesn't mean there has been any authentication of that complaint, nor does it mean that any e-mail addresses are legitimate.

Replying to: pilot130 (Nov 19, 2004 2:31 pm) None of the complaints I've seen there seemed ludicrous or suspicious, but I guess you have to take everything with a grain of salt. If someone complained of vehicle demon possession, that would be one thing, but I haven't seen anything like that. Yet Since the people here will undoubtedly be registering legitimate complaints, I don't see any cause for concern. |

Yes, the site does ask for a VIN No. but if you peruse complaints you will note there are duplicates with different names being used. I did a quick sort on one duplicate I saw, and found 4 earlier complaints with the same VIN. This tells me that some people are manipulating the system for less than honorable reasons. It also tells me that no one at autosafety.org is verifying any complaints being filed with them. Personally, I'm not concerned about it, and as you say, we have to take most of what we see in these places with a grain or two of salt. |
