Consumer Description

I HAVE A SEQUOIA WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2001. FOR ALL MY SERVICES I TAKE IT TO ATLANTA TOYOTA IN DULUTH, GA. RECENTLY MY VSC TRAC AND VSC OFF SENSOR LIGHT TURNING ON AND OFF AND I'M HEARING GRINDING NOISE WHEN IT AUTO-ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. MY DEALERSHIP WAS ASKING ABOUT $1300 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE ALL PARTS IN STOCK I'M NOT SURE WHETHER IT IS VSC COMPUTER ($1500), COMPLETE BREAKING SYSTEM, OR YAW RATE SENSOR ($550 + $95 LABOR) SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER MOMENTARILY. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR ME, SINCE I'M SUCH A LOYAL CUSTOMER. I AM SURPRISED AND PRETTY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SEEN ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FIRST MODEL YEAR TILL 2005. TOYOTA COULD HAVE FIGURED OUT A PERMANENT FIX BY NOW. ATLANTA TOYOTA TOLD ME ABOUT LEAKY/DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER $1400 REPAIR. *TR
