NHTSA Complaint #10205779 — 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

2003 SEQUOIA BOUGHT IN NOV 2002. CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 20,474 MILES. 1-1/2 YRS AFTER BUYING CAR, BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. TOOK TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. FINALLY, ON 4TH ATTEMPT, THEY SAID IT WAS SKID CONTROL BOARD. THEY INITIALLY TRIED TO CHARGE ME TO FIX IT, BUT ENDED UP DOING UNDER "GOOD WILL." NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE ABS, VSC AND TRACK LIGHTS ARE COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE YAW SENSOR. THEY KNOW AND I KNOW IT IS ALL RELATED TO THE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE 423.00 + TAX TO REPLACE IT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE, CONSIDERING THE COMMON PROBLEM THEY HAVE WITH THE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I DON'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *JB
