Consumer Description

THE VSC TRAC ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY ON OUR 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WITH 48,645 MILES. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC - ($110 TO PLUG IN THE DEVICE THAT READS THE CARS DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER). DEALER INFORMS US THE SKID CONTROL ECM IS BAD. THE COMPUTER, SKID CONTROL IS $1340.24 DOLLARS - TOTAL PARTS AND LABOR $1,646.24. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND SPEAKING WITH LOCAL TOYOTA OWNERS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN OFTEN REPEATED SCENARIO WITH MOST FAILURES IN THE FORTY THOUSAND MILE RANGE WITH SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES IF NOT IMMEDIATELY REPAIRED. THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA COMPUTERS CONTROLLING THE ABS BRAKES AND ANTI SKID CONTROL AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM REPAIRED BY TOYOTA. BY THE WAY, THE NEW CONTROLLER COMES WITH JUST A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. *TR
