I told them about the hundreds of owners with the exact same problem, and that Toyota has acknowledged the problem. The dealer said they've never heard of the problem and that they can only do something if there is a TSB. It just seemed like they didn't want to help me at all. I didn't buy my car from there, so perhaps that is some of the reason. I bought it from Penske Scion, which is quite a ways south for me. My car runs and drives fine at the moment, it's only when you drive it hard that the check engine light and skid light comes on and it tries to stall out. When you shut off the car and let it cool off a bit, fire it up, it is ok. I just don't want to take it to that dealer or really any right now until the actual TSB for the replacement of the ECU and or reflash comes out. Otherwise I fear my car will sit there for over a month on the back burner and get dents and dings in the meantime. Ugh.
