NHTSA Complaint #10310242 — 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM TOYOTA ON11/21/2009. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. IT STAYED ON EVERY TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS THEN IT WENT OUT. THEN IT WOULD INTERMITTENLY COME ON AND RESET WHEN I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA AND THEY FOUND FAULT CODE C1310. THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW BRAKE POWER BOOSTER INSIDE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. AFTER A WEEK OF ARGUING WITH THEM THEY CHANGED IT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY CHECKED AGAIN AND SAID CODE C1310 HAD TRIGGERED BUT THIS TIME IT WAS THE SKID CONTROL COMPUTER AND IT WAS NOT COVERED AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FIX IT FOR ME. I CHECKED THE OWNERS FORUMS FOR SEQUOIA'S AND THIS APPARENTLY IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IGNORES. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON I WILL NOT HAVE ABS AND MY ANTI-SKID CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION.
