picked up a new cap yesterday for 24$ just because. Somehting I should have done 3 months ago after the tune-up, oil change,transmission service & cooland flush/refill at Lexus

 

Experiencing the same with our '08. What really has me baffled is why in the heck, with just a weathered gas cap, would a car manufacture disable a major safety feature? . I assumed this fault just tripped the lights and didn't actually disable the safety trac features. Needless to say I found out the hard way... 360 spin out on snowy roads yesterday. Lucky it happened in my neighborhood and not a major road. Just doesn't seem to be logical.

 

I have 2005 gx. Today while driving the check engine light came on, followed by the rest TRAC OFF, vsc off, skid... A few seconds later. I did read a lot on this as my old 03 had the same without the check engine light, it was a speed sensor, and a steering positioning sensor. So now with the check engine on my 05, its an obvious emissions system issue. Seriously WTF? Why my life and my passengers life had to be intentionally endangered by TOYOTA during todays snow fall? Why in the world they designed a car that will shut off safety features such as skid and traction control which also impairs the all wheel drive because of an emissions failure? Whats next from Toyota? Wheels will fall off or steering wheel lock when an O2 sensor fails? I swear my family and i have been toyota product people for 10s of years, but this kind of intentional endangerment is not acceptable and is a complete absurd!!! And im about to start a safety campaign against Toyota vehicles if this issue wont be addressed and fixed by the company. Can anyone guide me to whom i may forward this complain at toyota?
Btw, any one knows if 08+ sequoia has the same issue as i was gonna get one, and if anyone knows whats a good comparing vehicle would be from another manufacturer which doesn't uneceserrely jeopardize lives of people?
Thanks guys
