Consumer Description

WE HAVE FOUR DRIVERS IN OUR FAMILY AND HAVE DRIVEN AND OWNED 4X4 WRANGLER, EXPLORER,EXPEDITION,SUBARU OUTBACK SPORT AND 2 AWD PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. WE NOW ALSO OWN AND DRIVE A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE SEQUOIA IS A DANGER TO US AND OTHER DRIVERS WHEN THERE IS SNOW OR ICE ON THE GROUND. WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN. WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON AND WITH STABILITY CONTROL, THE BACK END STILL SLIDES OUT EASILY WITHOUT PROVOCATION. WHEN IT DOES THE VSC TAKES OVER AND LEAVES YOU OUT IN TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. IF YOU ARE GOING OVER 60MPH YOU CANNOT TURN ON 4WD FROM 2WD. THIS REQUIRES SLOWING DOWN IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC TO ACTIVATE 4WD. ABS DOES NOT COME ON IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED LIKE DOWN A NARROW ICY DRIVEWAY LIKE WE HAVE. THE SEQUOIA IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT TESTED IN REAL LIFE WINTER CONDITIONS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE HELP US. *TR
