Re: File a complaint to NHSTA regarding VSC/ABS Skid control ECU failure
Same issue here just showed up last week. 2004 with 42,000 on it. We were occassionally getting the brake light on and turning off the truck and restarting it seemed to reset it. When I had it in for something else a week and a half ago I mentioned the brake light coming on. They said it was the skid control computer and it needed to be replaced. Thank goodness for the extended warranty, it was completely covered. Well, yesterday on the way home from the store, as I was applying the brakes to slow down for a turn the brakes seemed to apply themselves very hard and the truck nose dived and felt like it was going to begin to skid. I heard lots of grumbling and clicking (assuming ABS) and then the dash lights light up. TRAC OFF, VSC TRAC and Brake all light up. This is on the new computer. So it goes back to the dealer tonight for more diagnosis. I'll file a complaint tonight once I can get my VIN. This was a pretty scary event. I certainly hope they come up with a permanent fix or I'll have to look into another vehicle. We really like the Sequoia and it's only one of a few non-minivans that can hold my family of six.
