| Description of the problem | My mother owns a 2005 toyota sequoia. I'm not sure how this works but it is only four years old and the brake light comes on then the skid control comes one. When she took it to the toyota dealer they told her that their was a service bulletin for this and that it was a well known issue with the 2003-2005 models. If im not mistaken congress passed a law stating that all vehicles starting with a certain year has to come with stability control. Toyota knows this is a problem and an expensive problem. They want a little over three grand to fix it. I would understand if this was a random event but this is a safety issue and it is a problem well known to toyota. |
