NHTSA Complaint #10874758 — 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

WHEN ACCELERATING THE SLIP CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO 35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT BY A DRIVER APPROACHING AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE THE SLIP CONTROL MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED AT $1,200 AND THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VSC TRAC CONTROL RECALL. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 MODEL AS THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS HAD TO REPLACE MANY OF THE SKID CONTEOL ECU. THIS WILL CAUSE DEATH AND CRASHED AS THE DRIVER CAN NOT SPEED UP WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
