| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota sequoia vin number [xxx]. On 6/15/10 i experienced loss of vehicle control related to the vehicle stabilization and braking system computer. Three lights lit up on the dash (vsc, trac, and brake) and then upon braking there was a grab release sensation that i was unable to control. I was driving approximately 30 mph when this occurred. I was forced to pull over and shut the vehicle down to reset the computer. This has happened 5 times in the last year, but none as severe as on 6/15/10. Other experiences were at lower speeds. I have reported the incident to toyota ( conf# [xxx]) but am dissatisfied that this is not a recall. This is a true safety concern for me as i have a newborn child that rides in this car often. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
