NHTSA Complaint #10608159 — 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

FIRST INCIDENT: ON THE FREEWAY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN MADE A BEEPING SOUND (SIMILAR TO NO SEAT BELT SOUND) VEHICLE LOST POWER ALMOST LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTED. VSC, TRAC OFF LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE! I HAD TO CONSISTENTLY PUMP ON THE BRAKE AND PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN. BRAKES WERE GRINDING AND IT FELT AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO LOCK BUT YET SKIPPING (CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUCK). PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE, TURNED OFF ENGINE, AND THEN RESUMED. I HAD TO PULL OVER 5 SEPARATE TIMES DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. LUCKILY I ALLOWED MYSELF A HUGE SPACE IN BETWEEN MYSELF AND OTHER CARS. IF NOT, THERE WOULD HAD BEEN A FOR SURE ACCIDENT. CAR CONTINUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I'VE DONE A WHOLE LOT OF RESEARCHING IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A ECU ISSUE. I AM AWARE THAT TOYOTA HAS RECALLED ALL 2003 MODEL SEQUOIA'S ON UP BUT NOT 2002 ON UNDER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE AND EVEN IF I PURCHASED A NEW ECU THERE IS NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT'S BEEN ADDRESSED OR FIXED FOR THIS MODEL. ACCORDING TO THE TOYOTA REP. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH 30 MINUTES AGO. PLEASE HELP! AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR
