VSC, TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS RANDOMLY COME ON AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES ACCELERATION AND RUNS ROUGH. I TRIED PUTTING ON NEW GAS CAP TO NO AVAIL. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED GOING UP A HILL WHEN THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON AND I LOST POWER. IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL LEAVING ME UNABLE TO SAFELY ACCELERATE . MECHANIC REPORTS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS AND COSTLY TO FIX. STATED THAT TOYOTA FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2008 MODELS BUT NOT IN 2007.
