| Description of the problem | Extremely high idle speed from a cold start (1500-1700 rpm) leads to wheel spin and loss of control on icy/snowy surfaces. I turned sideways in my driveway this morning while backing out of my garage. Rear wheels are spinning while the brakes are holding the front wheels. I have a business partner who also has a 2005 sequoia that behaves identically. He slid off his driveway into a landscape bed, suffering minor body damage. The cold start idle speed is excessive and dangerous. *ak |
