The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph and releasing the accelerator pedal the pedal never released. The speed of the vehicle inreased to 90 mph. The contact put the vehicle into neutral and shut the vehicle off. The contact was able to pull the vehicle off the road and check to see if the floor mat caused the vehicle to accelerate, but found that it wasn't the floor mat. The contact restarted the vehicle without any problems. The contact called the manufacturer and they informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The dealer preformed a diagnostic test and found nothing wrong with the vehicle. The contact feels this year should be added to recall number 10v17000 regarding the sticky pedal. The failure mileage was 55,000.

Vsc (vehicle stability control) system intermittently shuts off the accelerator on my 2004 Toyota Sequoia. It has nearly caused an accident on three occasions, one of which my entire family including two small children were traveling across state for christmas. I have read numerous complaints across the internet of similar vsc computer failures and Toyota's knowledge of the problem. It is time that the NHTSA applied the appropriate pressure to Toyota to get them to initiate a recall and repair program for the problem before someone gets killed.

While applying the accelerator pedal vehicle cut the throttle back from idling. This caused the wheels to spin, then vehicle moved forward on its own, and stalled. Consumer restarted vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Dealer informed the driver that vehicle was operating as designed, but it was unsafe to operate it.

2003 sr5 Sequoia with 4700 mi, and two accelerator problems: 1. Surging from a stop and when accelerating out of a turn. 2. A dead accelerator for a period of six to ten seconds when accelerating out of a turn. The engine does not die it just remains at an idle for the six to ten seconds while the driver is pressing on the accelerator pedal. These two problems are not constant they just happen from time to time. Three trips to the dealer so far results in the response "unable to duplicate problem". The first failure date is the day we drove the vehicle home for the first time and continues to now.

While driving and upon pressing the accelerator vehicle lost power, and will not move. This happened three times. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership three times. The problem had not been resolved. Vehicle was taken to dealer for repairs again for the same problem.

Since taking ownership of my vehicle we have been having trouble with it. When taking a turn the vsc skid light comes on and the accelerator looses power. The vehicle doesn't stall but the gas pedal is unresponsive leaving you stuck for 2-5 seconds. It is extremely dangerous and I have almost been in an accident numerous times. We have taken it back to the dealership multiple times and they can't correct the problem because they can't replicate it. We had a district manager for Toyota look at the vehicle and couldn't help us either. However, he did tell us that the newer model Toyotas have been updated so this problem doesn't happen. That leads me to believe they are aware of the defect. It is happening multiple times a day now and I am afraid for the safety of myself and my children. I need help.

We have a Toyota Sequoia, the problems are the 4 wheel drive is not operating all the time. It does not engage, when it does sometimes it does not stay in 4 wheel drive. One example is when my wife had six friends in the vehicle the 4 wheel drive did not stay engaged and the vehicle skid control made the engine loose power so she slid backwards down a hill. No one would ride in our 4 wheel drive again. The vehicle skid control activates at radom on dry pavement. The skid control makes the engine loose power while in traffic. There is also a hesitation in the engine when accelerating from a complete stop. Another problem is the braking system is anot adequate for the vehicle. The entire front brakes had to be replaced. The vehicle has been in for the same reairs at least five times and is still not working the way it should. We have all the documentation for service on our Sequoia. We have done internet research through the NHTSA and have found the same problem with other Toyota Sequoia's.

Only after the work was accomplished was the consumer informed that only some of the required repairs were completed, because some of the parts were not available for all the required repairs.
