Consumer Description

VSC TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. INDICATOR LIGHT GOES ON AND VEHICLE STARTS TO APPLY BRAKES. HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE A MONTH FOR A FEW MONTHS. HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE CAR STARTS TO APPLY BRAKES AND VEER TO THE RIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. I COMPLAINED IN WRITING TO TOYOTA BOTH LOCALLY AND AT US HEADQUARTERS. THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT A RECALL. I PAID $2,300 TO HAVE THE ECU REPLACED. I SEE THIS EXACT COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA BY MANY 2002 SEQUOIA OWNERS. THE RECENT RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO 2002 MODEL YEAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THIS MODEL. *TR
