Description of the problem	In oct. Of 2007 the emergency brake light, trac light, and vsc lights activated on our 2004 toyota sequoia. We brought our suv in for brake service. On 8/4/08, the same thing happened with the added element of a loud noise and the brakes engaging in a very abrupt manner. This spontaneous braking could potentially result in a rear end or roll over situation should the wrong conditions exist. We brought the vehicle in to a nearby toyota dealer. The service adivsor informed us that our vsc computer needed replacement. The replacement would cost $1252. 00 for the part alone with a total cost of $1400. 00 to address this malfunction. Research of related problems revealed that the vsc computer seems to be going bad on 2001 and newer tundras and sequoias. We contacted regional customer service, who in turn referred us back to the dealer corporate customer service representative. The corporate customer service representative conducted an investigation and indicated that an out of warranty goodwill repair was declined due to the fact that we were not "loyal" toyota customers. We are the original owners of the vehicle, prior to this toyota i drove a toyota 4x4 for over 150,000 miles. This vehicle is the primary vehicle used to transport my wife and children. I realize that vehicle skid control is not a feature on most vehicles, and it's purpose is to maintain control in a skid situation, but at this point the fact that it is malfunctioning is a liability rather than a benefit.
