Description of the problem	We have a 2003 toyota 4 runner limited with the all wheel drive v8 engine. I noticed that toyota was going to recall the 2003 sequoia for braking, slowing issues. We have had similar issues with our vehicle with seemingly automatic braking. The vehicle does have a down hill assist button for what i understand to be used in low gear on the transfer. The vehicle being all wheel drive does have a high and low transfer with a center locking differential. The vehicle with slow almost which small lunges, as if the transmission was downshifting with the rpm's being too high for the gear. That is the best i can explain. It is not a sudden stop, no brake lights appear, but the vehicle does slow, as if its dragging, perhaps that is some automatic pulsing of the brakes. Should i take the vehicle to toyota.
