Description of the problem	We were experiencing occassional dash brake light illumination about every two weeks or so. When i had the vehicle in for another issue, i mentioned the brake light. Toyota told me that they needed to replace the skid control computer and the vehicle was unsafe to drive while the light was on. After having the computer replaced, the brake light came on two more times while we were out of town. The next day as i was starting to slow approaching a turn the truck suddenly braked very hard and it felt like we were going to start skidding. This was an unexpected automatic application of the brakes and proved to be extremely dangerous. Luckily for us there were no cars following at the time. This episode illuminated the brake light along with the vsc and trac lights. Whatever toyota replaced not only didn't solve the problem, but apparently made the vehicle more dangerous to drive. It is now at toyota for further diagnosis. I see that this is not an uncommon issue, as there are numerous complaints about this system on the sequoias. There should be a developed repair plan to remedy this situation and to keep their customers safe.
