  ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)

  CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE SKID CONTROL LIGHTS ACTIVATE AND MOST OF THE ENGINE POWER IS INSTANTANEOUSLY CUT, USUALLY ENGINE POWER IS NOT RESTORED UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED MOVING, WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS ON THE FREEWAY, IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A SPEED CONSISTENT WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND A VERY HAZARDOUS SPEED DIFFERENTIAL OCCURS.*JB

  SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC

  WHEN DRIVING AT 35 TO 40 MPH OR MORE AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED A VERY STRONG VIBRATION WILL SHAKE THE HOLE VEHICLE EVEN AT CURVES. THIS REPRESENTS A STRONG SAFETY HAZARD. THIS VIBRATION IS NOT NORMAL, DEALER REPLACED FRONT DISK PADS AND REPAIRED THE DISKS BUT CONSIDERING THE LOW MILLAGE ITS HARD TO BELIVE PADS WHERE WORN OUT. I THINK SOMETHING IS NOT WRIGHT. I MADE SOME RESEARCH IN THIS SITES AND FOUND OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME OR SIMILAR SITUATION WITH THE TOYOTA PICK UP V8 (TUNDRA) -.*AK

  SUSPENSION

  VEHICLE DRIFTS SUDDENLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT PULL TO EITHER SIDE BUT REQUIRES CORRECTIVE MOVEMENT TO STRAIGHTEN VEHICLE'S PATH. THIS CONDITION IS MORE SEVERE ON A WINDY DAY OR WHEN PASSING A TRUCK OR BUS OR LARGER VEHICLE. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. TWO NEW SEQUOIA SUV'S WERE PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME. THE SEQUOIA WITH THE STEERING AND HANDLING PROBLEM CAME WITH MICHELIN TIRES. THE OTHER SEQUOIA CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE TIRES AND DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.*AK
