Description of the problem | ****note: regarding a 2002 toyota sequoia since this is not an option i chose tundra because this is the closest to the sequoia size. The vsc trac-off system turns on when driving on straight, dry freeway. The truck lost speed and it started moving to next lane. I lost control of the steering. I thought that i was going to crash. I took it in and i was told that the computer needs to be replaced. I am afraid to drive my truck again. I am afraid that next time that happens on the busy los angeles freeway, i could be the victim of a terrible tragedy caused by the vsc malfunction.*ak |
