Consumer Description

TODAY DRIVING AT 40MPH MY 2001 SEQUOIA SUDDENLY JOLTED AND BRAKE WITH A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE, THIS WHILE I WAS USING THE GAS PEDAL! IT WAS VERY SCARY AND SHOCKING THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY DO SUCH AN UNSAFE MANEUVER. MY CHILDREN & I WERE TERRIFIED AS THE BEEPING STARTED AND THEN A STEADY NOISE WHILE THE GRINDING PERSISTED. I AM SO GLAD THE CAR BEHIND US DID NOT PLOW INTO US, AND STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW THEY DID NOT. TO EVERYONE THAT HAS STATED THIS: "PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS", YOU ARE VERY CORRECT. IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE SUCH A FAULTY SYSTEM IN A CAR ON THE ROAD. WE HAD IS TOWED AWAY, AND FRANKLY I KNOW NOT WHAT TO DO SINCE READING ALL OF THESE OTHER INCIDENTS. EVEN IF WE HAVE IT FIXED, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL NOT CEASE. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE IN THE LAST 2 DAYS, BUT THOUGHT I'D RUN OVER A POTHOLE OR SOMETHING. TODAY, IT WAS SMOOTH PAVEMENT AND NICE WEATHER. WE REALLY NEED A RECALL TO SAVE LIVES! *TR
