Driving on the highway and took an exit. Slowed down and turned the steering wheel. The vsa and trac lights came on, the car lost power for several seconds, pushing the gas pedal didn't do anything for several seconds and eventually, heard a loud noise as if the engine was re-engaging and then some grinding noise and the car was back to "normal" driving condition. Since the first incident, has happened several times over again. Very dangerous considering there were cars behind me and could have ran into me. Similar experience pulling into a parking lot. Made a left turn and the car just stopped. People were honking behind me and the car would not move. Had to turn the ignition off and then back on to make it work again.
Stability control lights, abs lights, and brake lights come on intermittently. Abs does not work while lights are on.
My 2005 Toyota Sequoia has had issues for the past several years in accelerating. The vehicle does not get engaged and it almost stops moving for a second until the vehicle stability control kicks in. Today the light went off again vsc trac and the problems continue.
2005toyota Sequoia, engine stops intermittantly, "electronic stability control" light come on, engine dies, not on a slippery road. Very hazardous if engine dies while driving.
When driving our 2005 Toyota Sequoia sr5 limited, sometimes while going straight but usually after a turn, the vehicle stability control light (little skidding car icon) flashes on the dashboard and all power is lost - you cannot accelerate. In addition, a severe grinding sound is heard, some of the time, when slowing to turn (not using brake pressure). This stalling has occurred since the vehicle was new. The dealer said it was a defective throttle body and replaced it. This did not solve the problem. Any subsequent time I asked them to check it out, they said they could not find anything wrong. Now it is happening several times a day. This past weekend, alone, we experienced this problem at least 5 times while driving. I, previously, contacted Toyota corp. And their response was that they will put my information into their files, but have no reports of any such incidents. However, looking on the internet, the 2003 Sequoia was recalled for this same problem. We are concerned that we are going to have a collision, due to a power loss: as when this happens, there is no way to get out of traffic or avoid other vehicles. It is a serious issue that I think Toyota is aware of but does not want to address. Looking at several Toyota forums on the internet, this is an issue with this vehicle for most owners. It appears that this is an issue that Toyota needs to address.
