Vsc, ABS, brake lights flashing and ABS light stayed on two of the times while other lights went off this happened 4 -5 times making the car unable to drive. Also I went sliding through a stop sign unable to brake. Lost total control of vehicle while trying to stop. 3) had it towed to dealer in moline, Illinois. They could not find a problem. Two weeks later, it happened again and I had it towed to dealer again in moline, Illinois and they still have the vehicle. They are having trouble diagnosing the problem. They have replaced a computer in front thus far. Note: The service rep. Is working on this problem diligently. However, this is a serious problem and a major safety issue. It has happened to hundreds of Toyota Sequoia owners, therefore, I am speaking out in hopes you will take notice in efforts to correct this problem and avoid killing innocent people.

- the contact has a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. The contact received safety recall 07V013000 on the vehicle, and had 9 different repairs made concerning the same safety recall. The last time the vehicle was repaired was on 10/17/2006. On 10/17/2006 the contact bought a new transmission because the failure could not be diagnosed. The contact stated that there were multiple drive line repairs, and that the car was lunging forward and making a clunking sounds. Two days after replacing the engine the contact returned with the vehicle because it was lurching forward and making a clunking noise while being driven. The contact has tried to get the vehicle diagnosed since the new engine without success.

Check engine light and vsc/traction control lights keep coming on. Took it to Toyota of lewisville, Texas on 30 June 06 and again to Toyota of killeen, Texas on 15 July 06. Toyota of lewisville told me it was bad gas and that the problem was fixed. On 13 June 06 the light came on but went off after a couple of miles. On my way to dallas on 14 Jun 06 the same thing happened. Later that day on my way back from dallas the lights came back on and I took my Sequoia to Toyota of killeen on 15 July 06. They worked on my Sequoia until 25 July 06. I only had my truck for a day when the lights came back on. I took the truck back to the dealer the next day, 27 July 06, and the service department turned off the lights and an hour later told me my Sequoia was ready and that if the problem persisted to bring it back. Right there in the service bay the light came on and the dealership has had it ever since. I talked to the service rep and he informs me that the computer has been replaced and the problem persist. They checked the fuel and drained the fuel and the problem persist.
