Consumer Description

VSC/ABS/SKID LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, AT DIFFERING SPEEDS, AT RANDOM INTERVALS, ACCOMPANIED BY GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKING ACTION. DURING SOME OF THESE RANDOM OCCURRENCES, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ACTION CAN PULL THE CAR QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY TO THE RIGHT AND ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL. I READ ON EDMUNDS.COM AND OTHER SITES (INCLUDING HTTP://WWW.TUNDRASOLUTIONS.COM/FORUMS/1GEN-SEQUOIA/76829-FILE-COMPLAINT-NHTSA-REGARDING-VSC-ABS/) THAT THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN, AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM! WHY HAVEN'T YOU MANDATED A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION????!!! I'M CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE MAY BE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE PROBLEM WILL SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY PULL THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, AND SHE WILL HIT ANOTHER CAR OR LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. HOW MANY CRASHES, INJURIES, AND, HEAVEN FORBID, DEATHS, WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU ACT? *TR
