| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sequoia occasionally the brake light and vsc (vehicle stability control) lights come on. When this happens the abs system physically malfunctions and the vehicle becomes a uncontrollable hazard. The toyota dealer said the issue is a internal malfunction in the brake booster/master cylinder assembly as well as the skid control ecu. (the total cost of repair is $2657. 00). I have read numerous complaints about this issue and the dealer admitted knowledge of this hazard and said it was a common problem but toyota is not correcting the issue or offering any assistance in correcting this hazard. These vehicles are unsafe to be on the road. I have no choice but to have the recommended repairs done, but this is a major issue/defect for toyota and the responsibility of this safety issue should fall to the manufacturer. |
