| Description of the problem | The traction control computer on my 2005 toyota sequoia was found to be faulty. Toyota issued a technical service bulletin related to this but will not reimburse or recall those with this faulty computer even when their technical service bulletins clearly states that there was a problem with the skid control computer logic. In my case, the bad skid control computer (part #89541-oc070) caused my vehicle to not be able to accelerate in certain instances. As this problem happened randomly, it presented danger to the driver as well as other vehicles. I believe that this part should be recalled in all toyota sequoias with model years 2003 - 2005 as indicated in toyota's service bulletin. |
