What owners wrote
I have had an issue with my 2003 toyota sequoia. The ABS and vsc trac lights came on. I have searched online to find out about this problem and have found it to be a habitual problem. On the morning of may 24 I had a collision with a deer. All four brakes locked up and I went into a skid and hit the deer. The things that I have read is its a electrical problem but it is not. Toyota has an issue here that puts its owners in an unsafe situation. This needs to be fixed.
Vehicle skid control computer is faulty and cause random braking or throttle reduction. Known problem by toyota. Requires new computer with updated software that "fixes" a problem that toyota claims doesn't exist. Over $2000.
