I had abs, vsc all the traction light came on my car around 6 months ago. I took it into the dealer and got the car fixed the culprit was the bad abs sensor. Now on new years night while driving home all the lights came on and I lost my traction abs suddenly. After parking the car for few hrs or so seems to cure it, but it kicked in while driving again and lost abs, traction etc. It is very unsafe and I am taking my car to the dealer for second time, first thing in the morning. Now do I have to do that for all 4 sensors? wait till they die out one by one and go all year around ? what happens if my abs and traction stops working while I am on highway while its heavy snowing? I after quick research online there seems like the abs sensor problem is quite common among all the Rav4 in similar body style. If Toyota knows about it why are they not doing something ? if I loose abs and my traction while driving I am jeopardizing my life. I am certain that Toyota have said OH its bad abs sensor and made the customer fix it but how about the rest of the sensors which is about to go bad? I would kindly seek if someone could get back to me. I would also volunteer my time and allow the car to be tested at your facility if needed to do so.
