TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN BRAKING TO MAKE A TURN, THE ABS BRAKES WOULD FAIL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DECELERATE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID WHILE TURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE SKID CONTROL WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. UPDATED 11/18/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VSC LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE VSC WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2003 MODEL, BUT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO OPEN A RECALL FOR THE 2004 MODEL. UPDATED 12/02/11

FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, MY VSC, ABS, BRAKES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE ON-BOARD COMPUTING UNIT (ABOUT $3000). THE SECOND TIME (LAST WEEK), THE DEALER REPLACE THE SAME UNIT AGAIN BUT I AM PAYING $1400 BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER ALL OF THE SUDDEN. *TR
