NHTSA Complaint #10259907 — 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

I WAS LEASING AN 2005 SEQUOIA THROUGH SOUTHEAST TOYOTA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO AND AT THE TIME IT WAS CERTIFIED. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED THE BRAKE LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF. IT NEVER STAYED ON LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT AND WOULD OFTEN GO AWAY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. RECENTLY, THE CHECK ENGINE, VSC TRAC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS CAME ON AND REMAINED LIT AFTER THE CAR WAS STARTED - THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ALSO CONTINUE TO COME ON AFTER DRIVING AND WOULD NOT ALWAYS COME BACK ON AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. I TOOK MY SEQUOIA INTO THE CLOSEST DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A SKID CONTROL ECU #89541-0C070 ($2206), MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR #89637-0C020 ($477.86) AND A KNOCK SENSOR BANK 2 #89615-06010 #17171-50030 ($741). MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED WITH ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE; HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING, MY ABS AND TRAC IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE. THEY WERE ONLY WILLING TO HELP ME OUT WITH APPROX 20% OF THE COST. I MADE MY FIRST CALL YESTERDAY. I CALLED AGAIN TO DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HEAR BACK FROM A MANAGER BY 6PM PST TOMORROW. AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE STARTED ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
