Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES WHEN THE SKID LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THEN THE VSC OFF & VSC TRAC OFF LIGHTS WILL COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM 15 - 60 MPH AT TIMES YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS FOR A FEW SECONDS. IF THIS EVER HAPPENS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A TOYOTA SPECIALIST MECHANIC AND THEY ARE STILL REPLACING PARTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA RECALLED ALL 2003 SEQUOIA'S FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED PROPERLY.
