| Description of the problem | Have a 2006 toyota sequioa and everyonce and awhile the lights will come on the dash board and the braking system will be very hard to press, almost not stopping the vehicle. I turn the vehicle off for little bit and it returns to normal (sometimes). I see there are other complaints to this matter but still no recall??? It is a really dangerous situation when driving and the lights come on and there are virtually no brakes to speak of. This has been going on for about 1 1/2 years. This latest incident has prompted me to look into this and as i have foud out there are others as well, what can i do? *ln |
