I bought my 2001 4Runner SR5 4WD 2 years ago and loved it. No problems until about 6 months ago. While traveling out of town, the check engine light and two VSC lights came on. Spent $500 at an out of town Toyota dealership only to have the lights come back on shortly after I arrived home. Have now visited my local Toyota dealership 6 times and the lights are still on. I bought the Toyota because of the dependability (and there doesn't seem to be a thing mechanically wrong with my truck), but am tired of spending money and being inconvenienced in order to get 3 lights turned off. It has been diagnosed many times and minor things have been replaced (fuel sensor, etc). Approaching the $1,000 mark now - seems to be something wrong with this picture. I don't feel like I'm going to be stranded on the side of the road, but this is aggravating.
