ABS, Brake and Tire pressure warning lights on!!!! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am really really frustrated,

I bought my corolla 2006 a month ago in Phoenix. When I was driving from the dealership (2 minutes after signing all the paperwork) all three lights went on (Brake, Tire pressure, ABS), I went back and they told me that it was the Tire Pressure system that needed to be reset, they reset it and everything looked fine although, I asked them if it wasnt strange that all three lights went on just for the Tire Pressure system, they told me that was normal (now I really think that was just an excuse).

I drove back to Tucson, and on the highway the three lights went on... AT THE HIGHWAY... I was really nervous that something was really wrong with my car going at 70 mph

. I stopped four times to try to reset the tire pressure system... only at the fourth time it reset.

Three days passed and the freaking lights were on again...

I took it to the dealership here in Tucson, they had replaced the sensors, the ABS computer and now they are clueless about what might be happening. Also I had this freaking rattleing, they fixed that after the fourth time I took my car to service and two seatbelts replaced (it was a frame welding problem) :\

I hate my car... I am not enjoying it. Any ideas? I am going to try to get a new car arguing that all these problems should be enough justification for Toyota to do something besides to try to fix it.

there is a short pin fuse that needs to be installed at the dealer when they do the pre delivery inspection, my guess is no one installed it. look around

But if that was the case... then I should have the lights on all the time, right?

It is an intermitent problem though

I have a 2005 Matrix (automatic) that is 6 months old. The exact same thing just started happening to me as well. The first time I was on the highway (in the dry) so I pulled over and checked the tire pressures. They were all O.K. About 10 minutes later the lights went out. The next time I stopped I reset the tire pressure system.

The same thing happened again, 4 days later, on the highway, this time in the rain. 15 minutes later, they went out. The next day it happened again driving in the city. I took the car in and they said there is nothing wrong. No Codes/No Faults Found.

My work order had a comment "Customer to return if lights don't go out". At this rate I'll be dropping the car off every couple days!!!

I have great news for you... I went back to service like 7 times total... then I request an arbitration hearing, Toyota called me two days before the actual hearing and THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR IN EXCHANGE!!!!

If I withdrew from the arbitration process.... and I did.

Two days after that, I got my new car.

congrats, whats the new car?

freakinbox · 01-21-2006, 08:38 PM

I would have made them give me something better for the 7 times of the trouble

DarkArcanine · 01-22-2006, 12:47 AM

Well, I got tinted windows...

I know I could ask for something else.... but, I like it this way better... no lawyers involved... no hearings... immediate compliance...

I got same, Corolla 2006 LE

Nice. I have the same thing, 4 speed auto, almost fully loaded except no abs, trac control, fog lights, sunroof, spoiler. How do you like yours and manual?

DarkArcanine · 01-22-2006, 06:57 PM

Well, a lot of people disagree with me... but I love automatic cars. For me it is all about progress, if I can just worry about the gas, break and wheel, SO BE IT.

I love the AT... I do know how to drive stick but personally if I can afford AT I will go AT
