I was coming off an entrance ramp merging into traffic on to a 4 lane highway when my check engine light, trac off light and blinking 4 loe came on. The engine went into limp mode greatly reducing my power and it felt like my steering control got loose. I had to pull off the road to keep from being run over by faster traffic.

Upon investigation toyota began using soy-based wiring in their vehicles instead of petroleum-based and didn't notify their customers. Soy-based products in vehicles have been known to "attract" rodents versus petroleum based products. My 2012 tundra was still under warranty and…

Electronic Stability Control
My 2012 toyota tundra is equipped with toyota's vehicle stability control (vsc). One of the features of the vsc is when the computer perceives a loss of traction, the computer (without the driver's consent) attempts to correct the loss of traction by braking and/or engaging one or both of the front tires. In november of 2016, the vsc on my tundra (with only 43k miles) began to fail and instead of becoming inoperable…
