| Description of the problem | We just purchased a used 2005 toyoyta sequoia sr5 4wdon 01/23/2009. Almost immediately noticed that the brake warning lights kept coming on intermittently so in the intrest of our safety we took it in to a toyota dealer and got it looked at. The dealership said the skid control ecu was bad and throwing the codes c1223 and c1247 and the cost to replace the ecu is around $2400 dollars after doing a few google searches i find out that this is a very widespread problem and cannot understand why there hasn't been a recall for such an important and exspensive part of the vehicle. |
