| Description of the problem | I have a 05 toyota sequoia and have recently been experiencing some electrical problems. I had some routine maintenance done on my car in early august two days later my skid control light came on causing my car to slow down followed by a brake light. When my husband took it to the toyota dealer they said the tilt had to be zero calibrated. The same day after leaving the light came on again. The skid light started to come on more frequently and i got a little worried for my children's safety. I returned to the toyota dealer for them to tell me that i needed to replace the skid control system at a cost of 840 with no guarantee to fix my car. Two days later i took it to them to be replaced and they were not so sure that was the real problem. They said it could be the break booster and they were going to take a further look. The next day when we called to check on my car they informed us they had the same exact problem in another vehicle that they did replace the skid system and did not fix the problem only generated different codes. They said they were going to keep my car to compare it to the other cars codes. I still am waiting to hear what is wrong with my car. I have looked online trying to find answers and this seems to be a problem with this model. I feel the manager of the toyota dealer where i live knows that this is a problem and all but telling me it was not going to fix my issue. I have three small children and we all leave for the beach in three weeks and they don't even know what is causing this malfunction. The 03 sequoia was recalled for almost the same thing. I feel that this is a safety issue and could be dangerous. I have been very careful not to full in front of anybody due to this. I full out onto a road and my car stalls. This is very dangerous to me and my family and toyota is not doing anything to fix it.... This should be recalled!!! |
