| This is an intermittent and random problem. radio/disc player turns itself on and off going over bumps and/or when cornering. sometimes radio is on, but all displays are blank, and radio does not respond to any controls, including the power button. sometimes the problem resolves by shutting vehicle completely down and restarting. sometimes it takes several restart cycles to resolve. dealer service department stated that this is a known problem, but that no recall had been issued. i realize this doesn't rank up there with tires and fuel tanks. nonetheless, having an electrical component behave like this makes one wonder about the possibilities for an electrical fire. also, having any piece of equipment behave this way definitely increases the risk of accident due to driver distraction. more than once i've been physically and mentally startled when the radio unexpectedly turned itself on and blasted me with my kids' music. | |||

| 2008 toyota sequoia-current problem with my suv: my abs, traction control, vehicle skid control lights are on turned on and it has been going on for a month-took it to a local toyota dealership to diagnose the problem, it took them a whole day (8:30 am to 5:30 pm)to finally figured it out that we need to replace the vehicle skid control actuator and will cost us $2500.00-this is a safety issue that toyota is well aware of...my husband and i almost got into a car accident on an icy day in colorado because of it-toyota headquarters wont fix it nor the local dealership.....this is serious matter and it needs to be address.....this is the same problem to toyota's recall for the 03 sequoias....link: http://pressroom.toyota.com/pr/tms/toyota/customer-faqs-for-2003-toyota-157609.aspx?link_page_rss=157609&siteid=dmg_rss_201004_rla_explan_toynew_toyota+vehicles%3a+customer+faqs+for+2003+toyota+sequoia+recall | |||

| We own a 2008 sequoia. on 3/13/10 the local 1-10 toyota dealer in indio, ca did the initial recall fix on our sequioa. my husband works in anza, ca. on his way home from work he was driving downhill on route 74 (a very treacherous mountain road) and the rpm's on the toyota increased and when he saw them get over 3000 rpm's he tried to break. the breaks did not work and the rpm's kept rising. he hit the breaks again and they still didn't work. he laid on them the 3rd time and they finally kicked in. when he got home he told me what happened. i immediately called the toyota dealer and they advised me to bring the car in first thing the following day. we ran into several bad experiences with how the dealer has handled us during the week. they still have the vehicle and today is 3/25/10. we asked them for a full pedal replacement as we researched it on line and saw that we were not alone in experiencing a problem even after they have completed their initial recall fix. we are very concerned about several issues. our primary concern is that my husband can no longer trust driving this car back and forth to work. we feel we will not be able to trust driving it even after we get it back since this is the 2nd fix they have done on it. we also are concerned about the resell value of our vehicle as we have seen articles stating that kelly blue book is confirming that the resell values are being effected. could a lawyer possibly negotiate with toyota on our behalf to reduce our loan since we are financed through toyota directly and our vehicle value has been reduced. | |||
