| Description of the problem | When backing out of garage and applying brakes, the abs motor was heard and then the brake light came on. Then the vsc trac, vsc off and abs lights came on. The brake pedal felt mushy so a visit to dealer was made. The concern was addressed with service, and they came back with : "test drove car and inspected brakes. Found dtc's c1223, c1244, c1247, c1310. Provided estimate for updated skid control ecu @ $905 + tax". As the customer, i declined to schedule. Then during a past winter storm, backing out of driveway again, the same thing occurred. Very concerned that this braking system is defected in any wet/snowy/ice weather. I have had to divert to driving my 1998 honda accord in snow instead of the sequoia. I am very concerned driving this sequoia with my kids in car and braking at anytime. I feel an updated software/logic in ecu or an updated skid control ecu is valid enough to say they have a known issue that is 'safety' related, and toyota should buck up covering this as warranty. I have contacted toyota motor sales, usa, inc. And my case is filed at their headquarter office under my name and file #[xxx]. They stated their is no customer compliance issued recall/bulletin or warranty available to cover my concern due to its age and mileage. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
