Description of the problem	Since at least september of 2009 my 2006 toyota sequoia randomly activates the vehicle stability control system, causing the vehicle to suddenly brake. Total control, including acceleration and steering, is lost for a few seconds. This is occurring each time in non slip driving conditions. The slip indicator light begins to blink, beep, and the vehicle just loses total control. Usually occurs upon driving from a stop. I have brought the vehicle to toyota on at least 4 to 5 occasions and have been told each time that they had no codes and could not replicate the problem. This seems to occur atleast once every three weeks to a month. There is no way they can replicate the problem unless they drive the vehicle for a month. I have been told on at least three occasions dating back to october of 2009 that a representative from toyota would contact me, set up an appointment to look at my vehicle, and give me an idea of what may me going on with it. To date i have still not received even a phone call from toyota. When i last brought the vehicle to toyota for this issue (april 24, 2010), i had recently been entering a busy road from a parking lot. The vehicle stability control came on for no reason, the vehicle lost control (acceleration, and steering) and i was in the middle of a busy traffic lane with vehicles coming at me. A vehicle needed to skid and steer out of my lane to avoid striking my drivers side. The vehicle has been brought in to toyota with the same results (2) times in october 2009, (1) time february 2010, (1) time april 2010. The problem has occurred almost once every three weeks. Most recently it has occurred 3 times over a two day span. I have stopped bringing it to toyota as they have informed me each time that they can not find a code or replicate the problem. At times they have kept my vehicle over night, and driven it for 50 plus miles. I just can not continue to bring it in and have nothing done.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
