Default NHTSA Investigates Toyota Trucks on Electronic Stability ControlMalfunction

"NHTSA is investigating the 2003 Sequoia based on allegations that the
electronic stability control system seizes control of the brakes at
inappropriate times. That investigation targets 68,289 SUVs.

Last week, Toyota said it would recall more than 4.2 million Toyota
and Lexus vehicles in the U.S. and Canada because their design
increases the risk that they could suddenly accelerate out of control.
In addition Toyota recalled 110,000 Tundra pickups because of a rust
problem that could cause the spare tire to fall onto the road,
creating a hazard for other vehicles."
