Description of the problem	While driving and gradually pressing the brake pedal, my 2004 sequoia suddenly and abruptly stops while being driven on city streets or freeway at speeds between 35 to 55 mph. Immediately following the abrupt and unexpectedly stop, the brakes appear to remained engaged (vehicle is stopped) momentarily (for a few seconds); although, the brake pedal is no longer depressed. In order to get the suv moving forward again, one must press the gas pedal (more than usual), because the vehicle seems to hesitate or be stuck/stopped. Because of the unusually high gas pedal requirement, the vehicle suddenly/dangerously lunges forward. This hole unexpected, abrupt stopping and abrupt rapid forward process is quite unsettling and scary. We're the original owners of this 2004 sequoia and the vehicle has always been maintained and inspected 2 to 4 times per year by toyota dealers in orange county, calif. Based on the commonality and high incidence of this anomaly on these vehicles, toyota should voluntarily or mandatorily take swift corrective action.
