| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 toyota sequoia. with just over 52,000 miles, the emergency brake light would come on for no apparent reason. the only way to get it to go off would be to stop and restart the vehicle. the local toyota dealership advised us to check the brake fluid. it was fine. when i took my vehicle in for routine maintenance, they informed me that the anti-skid ecu computer component was going out. they said it wasn't a safety issue; however, we feel like it most definitely is a safety issue. sequoia's are prone to roll over in accidents, and the anti-skid function is critical. we have done research, and it is obvious that toyota is aware that it is a problem. despite their knowledge of the problem, a recall has not been issued. is it going to take major accidents or deaths of innocent passengers to get toyota to issue a recall? because of the safety factor, we ended up spending $1,507.48 in order to have this replaced. with less than 53,000 miles on a sequoia, it is ridiculous to have to spend that amount of money. the original anti-skid ecu is obviously defective; toyota needs to do the right thing and issue a recall. *jb |
