On January 8th,2015 I had the right front wheel speed sensor replaced on our vehicle. An internet check revealed that a technical service bulletin ref: TSB 0031-12 was issued. Nhtsa ref: 10052153 for the 2009 Venza was also issued due to numerous complaints of faulty wheel speed sensors. The faulty wheel speed sensor caused 3 warning lights to come on. The abs, vsc and brake system warning lights could you please include this VIN if a recall is announced. Thank you.
Driving home from work Friday morning and the vsc, abs warnings begin to come up. An issue which was noted when we first purchased the car and around 20k miles the dealer told us we needed a new battery which we had to purchase out of pocket. Since then we purchased an extra warranty to cover all components of the vehicle. This time the dealer is stating that it is a speed sensor and that the insurance covers it but we will have to pay for the labor roughly 400 dollars. The dealer informed us that the issue at hand was for a speed sensor but that it is ok to drive the car. We drove the car and noticed that in the rain the car skids when you try to brake and feels very unsafe so we ended up staying home.
