Consumer Description

BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY APPLY ON THERE OWN, PULLING THE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT. I AM SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION OF DISABLING THE VSC ON THIS VEHICLE BUT THAT FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL DISABLE ITSELF AFTER AN EPISODE, LATER IT WILL SELF ENABLE AND IT STARTS OVER AGAIN. I'VE HAD IT IN TO TOYOTA SERVICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW CPU, BUT THAT WOULD NOT NECESSARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN OTHER SEQUOIA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON MANY SEQUOIA OWNER FORUMS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR SEQUOIA OWNERS. THE DEALER HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
