Consumer Description

WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE W/ THE VEHICLE SKID CONTROL LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. AT ONE POINT, WE LOST POWER TO CAR, WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS UNSURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. I FOUND A RECALL RELATED TO VSC FOR 2003 SEQUOIAS BUT TOYOTA SAYS OUR SEQUOIA IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS ARE VERY IDENTICAL!! INSTEAD THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS TO TRY TO REPLACE SOME COMPUTER CHIP (THAT WOULD COST US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEEING THAT THIS IS EVEN THE CAUSE OR WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE!!! THEY ARE SAYING IT CAN BE THIS COMPUTER OR IT CAN BE THAT COMPUTER .. AND REPLACING EACH IS WORTH A FEW 1000S BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH IS CAUSING THE VSC LIGHT TO GO ON AND OFF!! *TR
