| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota sequoia and the vsc light recently came on. The dealer is stating that the vsc computer needs to be replaced at my cost. They explained that it is common on the sequoia, but a recall has not been issued. The cost is 1500 + the danger is losing control of the vehicle during brake malfunction. I have read of several others having the same problem. The dealer stats that i should be able to continue to drive, but 2 times i have lost ability to use brakes. Its not until i restart the car that the brakes work again. Dangerous, very dangerous. This problem appears all over the internet with this truck, its time for a recall. *jb |
