| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2004 toyota sequoia, and it began to vibrate and shake left to right while braking. It also started making a loud grinding noise, and felt as if the truck was loosing acceleration. The skid control light appears on the dashboard sometimes when this is happening. This happens intermittently, and it is a bad unsafe feeling while driving. I drive the city streets daily and occasionally use the freeways. I was told that my truck has a defective skid control ecu. This should be a safety recall for consumers seeing that this can cause hazardous conditions on the road. I have researched and found that many other consumers have complained about this very issue. I also see that 2003 toyota sequoias have been involved in a recall for this same issue. This should have extended to later models of sequoias as well. I definitely think a recall should occur, and customers who have had this issue taken care of in a dealership should be reimbursed for this defect. This is a very dangerous defect. |
