I asked if they can replace them all as well - no dice - TCI won't cover it. While it's in they'll remove the sound deadening for the recall... apparently they just remove the foam in the pillar - not replace it... My satisfaction is not what it once was. |

My car goes in Friday. They're going to do the ABS sensor and the recall.

Just curious how much it costs to get one of these sensors replaced. I know one or more of mine are dead ... just want to know what I'm looking at in terms of $$.

Well I finally have an appointment this Tuesday to get the part replaced. One thing that pisses me off (besides the intolerable wait, of course) is that I asked the guy if a 2:00 appointment really means I'll get in at close to 2:00. His reply was something like, "well we can't guarantee the times because we might get backed up from the morning". Excuse me, but WTF is an appointment system for? When you book the appointments, you obviously have an idea how long each job will take. I hope this recession lingers on so that these retailers will feel a tight pinch and change their tune and actually value a customer.

Well I had mine fixed today and it would have cost $480.00 if it hadn't been covered under warranty.
I spoke to the mechanic and he told me the part wasn't corroded. The part in question was a "manufacturer defect". Which makes me wonder why Toyota hasn't issued a recall. |

So she's all fixed now. Got it *finally* looked after on Monday.
The official 'cause' as listed on my repair invoice is: "Right rear speed sensor harness" And interestingly enough, apparently there's a TSB out for this!?!? (What does that mean exactly then???) Because the 'correction' on my repair invoice reads: "Labour to diagnose and replace speed sensor harness as per TSB3027" (Part # was 89516-52090, and description was "Wire,Sensor" in case anyone was interested) There's my update ppl.

The laugh of it all (I have to laugh or else I'll likely cry) is that I asked the mechanic if the other one at the back is likely to malfunction. He said that, sooner or later, it would. Are they kind of keeping their fingers crossed that my warranty will expire before the next one goes? |

We haven't had this part fail yet and we just passed 48k km's. Hopefully we don't have a problem, but I still feel really upset for all of you who have had to deal with this issue and pay for its resolution. The way Toyota is treating you is disrespectful to everyone of their customers and I'm sure will cost them return customers, but like any other company, Toyota does not care. |

You misunderstand my entire point. I am fully aware that everything will fail eventually because what kind of dreamer believes a car will last forever? My point was that the speed sensor on the left is defective also and it's only a matter of time (according to the mechanic) before it malfunctions, as the one on the right side did. That being the case, why does Toyota not replace all of the speed sensors at once, before the warranty runs out?
