DRIVING IN RAIN CAUSES MY SKID LIGHTS, VSC, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TO COME ON.ALSO CRUISE CONTROL GOES OUT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS DRIVING ON MARBLES. INITIALLY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAID THIS WAS SOMETHING WEIRD - EVERYTHING WORKED RESET ALL CODES. SUGGESTED NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED HAVE TOYOTA LOOK AT IT. TOOK IT TO CHARLES MAUND (THOUGHT MORE TRUST WORTHY THAN OTHER TOYOTA DEALER) - SAME SERVICE ADVISOR THAT TOLD ME HE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE A YEAR AGO HAS NOW CALLED TO TELL ME I NEED THE "CHARCOAL POT REPLACED OR IT WON'T PASS STATE INSPECTION(IT HAS PASSED 3 STATE INSPECTIONS SINCE THIS PROBLEM INTIALLY STARTED) THAT I HAVE A BROKEN PIN IN THE SHIFTER COLUMN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX MY CRUISE CONTROL - EVEN THOUGH MY CRUISE WORKS FINE UNTIL IT RAINS ALL OF THE OTHER LIGHTS COME ON. HE TOLD ME THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM, BUT I WILL BE SAVING MY RECEIPTS IN CASE IT BECOMES A RECALL - REPAIRS TO BE OVER $1400.00. ALSO REPORTED ISSUES TO NTSB FILED A COMPLAINT SO MAYBE IT CAN BE TRACKED TOYOTA WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNRESOLVED ISSUES THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW ABOUT.

I understand that if your o2 sensors go out that it will cause your gas air mixture in your fuel injection to mix super rich and lower your gas mileage dramatically. If all 4 are out it runs about 1000.00 to replace all. They vary in price individ
