2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

THE VSC TRAC LIGHT, THE VSC OFF LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON....IT CAUSED MY BRAKES TO ACTUALLY FAIL. I CAN TURN THE THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND THIS SEEMS TO RESET IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED A $200 PART AND IT DID NOT HELP. IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN. I'VE READ MANY MANY REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE. WHY NO RECALL. IT'S A MIRACLE NOBODY HAS DIED. BRAKE FAILURE???? SERIOUSLY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER YEARS OF TAKING MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD FRAME ROT WAS SO BAD THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE VETERANS HIGHWAY IN TAMPA, IT BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE VEHICLES TRAC OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS BRAKING BY ITSELF. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE SEQUOIA BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY.
