Consumer Description

THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 01 SEQUOIA COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING AT AROUND 10 MPH . THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS TO ACCIDENTS. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO ASKS ME TO KEEP IT OVER NIGHT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALL ME AND TELL MORE THAT THE SKID CONTROL ECU AND THE TRANSLATE ECU ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THEY TELL ME BECAUSE IF THE YEAR AND MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE TO REPLACE THEM IT WOULD BE AT MY COST $2500 IF MY COST. HOW CAN THEY TELL YOU THAT SOMETHING THEN MANUFACTURE IS FAULTY THEN TRY TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE IT. NOW I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH FOUR CHILDREN AS I COMMUTE DAILY BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR OR TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. *TR
