Recently reported ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL problems on 2002 Toyota Camry

I was on a ramp to i-520 at a speed between 45-50 miles.hr and the ramp is straight. suddenly the car lost control and spinning - finally, i noticed the front passenger side tire is flat. the problem is the airbags were not deployed though the front (both left and right) hit the concrete wall badly and damaged badly. also the abs was not engaged. *tr

2002 camry with only 50,586 miles driven very easy by my wife. vsc trac off lights come on and stay on after car is in motion which i am told means the vehicle stability control is not working. in certain situations am told this can possibly cause an accident or injury. took car to a toyota dealer and am told it needs a skid control ecu and yaw rate sensor at a cost of $2600 plus tax. have called toyota customer assistance center and all they will do is contact the dealer's customer relations person to see what they are willing to do. i guess toyota isn't willing to do anything. i am reporting this because i have heard there have been issues with toyota's vehicle stability control. *tr

Wife driving 2002 camry for smock inspection. i am following behind. camry stalls - engine just dies. steering is locked. wife stopped and tried to restart. after ~2mins, car restarted. continued ~2 miles and engine dies again, steering again locks. wife able to start again. after car starts, vsc and trac off lights are now on. took car to toyota dealer next day. a skid control computer is down per toyota. toyota unable to duplicate engine dying, but admit faulty computer could be cause. skid control computer costs $1453 to replace + $xxx for labor. i have read this is a common issue for 2002 toyota so am filing a complaint. why has toyota not recalled/fixed this yet? if this occurred on freeway, steering wheel lockup at 55+ mph? are they crazy? *tr

At subzero temperature (below 0) car starts with check engine light on (error code p1128), traction control and vsc disabled. idle at 600-800 rpm. engine does not respond to acceleration pedal, so car is not drivable. after warming engine up and erasing error code from ecu car drives normally. *tr

Ever since i brought my 2002 toyota camry xle home it veered to the left. on every trip back to the dealer i mentioned it and each time i received a different reason for the problem. after two years it is now totally unsafe to drive. i did and paid for all the solutions the dealer made and they don't know what they are doing. from wrong tire pressure to one new and old tire to two new tires to a wheel alignment to the fact that i probably drive over bumps and holes, they have given more excuses than answers. i am afraid i will get into a crash. the steering wheel literally turns left on its own and your car swerves into the left lane. *ak
