Consumer Description

MY SEQUOIA WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING. TRAC LIGHT AND VSC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN...I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID SEVERAL TESTS. ALL BUT ONE TEST DETERMINED IT WAS THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (OF WHICH IS COVERED UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT). BECAUSE OF THAT ONE TEST, THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT BREAKS DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEY WOULD TOW IT BACK THERE. PROBLEM IS...I MIGHT BE DEAD IN THE TRUCK DEPENDING ON WHERE AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT! MY SEQUOIA HAS BEEN A LEMON! I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD TO REPLACE 1)THROTTLE BODY 2)THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH 3)BRAKE BOOSTER 4)MASTER CYLINDER AND 5)SKID CONTROL ECU. AT 120,000 MILES AND ALL OF THOSE PROBLEMS ALREADY? AND NOW THIS ISSUE?....IT MUST BE A LEMON! *JS
