Vehicle stability control; traction control; check engine have all lit up. This first occurred in September 2007 the dealership had my car for almost 2 weeks before they "fixed it" by replacing something with my cam shaft? they stated it was under warranty because of a recall. January 1, 2008 the lights all reappeared, I brought it back and was told that nothing could be found wrong and that the lights reset themselves. Now February 13, 2008 the lights have come back on again accompanied by a very loud squealing coming from my steering.

The vehicle stability control; traction control; check engine light have come on and remained on. The light was temporarily deactivated when a cam gear was replaced at wagner Toyota in lancaster MA. The error code returned and has remained on despite leaving the car at gatorland Toyota in gainesville fl on three separate occasions. The dealership service manager after first replacing the computer advised me that they do not know how to repair my car. I am uncertain whether the vsc or the traction control is operational at this time (safety concern).
