Electronic Stability Control Problems of Toyota Sequoia - part 2

My 2003 Sequoia got vsc off, vsc trac, and brake indications in the cockpit again since the problem was fixed by replacing the sensors at dealer few years ago. Very disappointing. I don't know if Toyota has ever since recall in 2010.

Driving the vehicle at about 60mph, grinding sound, loss of power steering control, pulls to the right side, deceleration, loud noise like a tire blowout, vsc lights on dash come on. This has happened 4 times while driving the vehicle, no warning and you must pull over and turn the engine off and it will reset so you are able to start the vehicle to continue. Very scary incidents!!!.

The traction control pulls the vehicle to the right at any speed. I almost crashed today.

Vsc and trac light and check engine light on. These lights are always on. Occasionally brake will make a grinding noise and pedal will go to floor. This happens while trying to stop.

Yaw rate sensor failure causing SUV loss of steering and braking control while driving on highway at 60 mph and residential street at 20 mph. Flashing vsc lights, warning sound. Brakes and steering not usable while driving during yaw rate sensor failure.

Vsc, check engine, brake lights keep coming on. No traction control when button pushed. Driving highway speed traction control beeps when not even appropriate. Have had several times trying to brake, no brakes light comes on almost crashed due to no brakes! I have researched recall my VIN# not listed. This is ridiculous! unsafe! Toyota needs to recall more vehicles. Not a happy Toyota consumer!.

Trac and vsc and traction light came on all at once, causing the vehicle to drive really rough, feels like my tires went flat and steering becomes rather difficult. Vehicle was in motion at the time driving own the highway. Has happened 3-4 times in the last 2 weeks since I bought the vehicle. Once I was turning, the other times I was driving straight down the highway. It was hot outside each time, but no rainy conditions.

Vsc and abs lights have been on and stability control is off. This has been in this state for several years and I have had several unsuccessful interactions with Toyota regarding repairing under the recall. My car was manufactured in may. The recall only covers cars manufactured through April. Having worked in a Toyota plant for 5 years, I know that it is very possible that the defective parts could be in the plant several months past April. Yesterday, my braking system was not operating properly. The abs was activating randomly, when driving at slow and highway speeds, and the car was not reacting normally to the accelerator pedal. . I took the car to a mechanicm. The troubleshooting codes had to due with the stability control computer.

I have a 2002 Toyota Sequoia limited, with 111,000 miles on it. Twice July 13 and July 21 all of the dash lights for (vsc, traction control, anti-lock brakes, parking brake) lights come on and stay on. It has happen at low driving speeds (approx. 20-30 mph), there was some slight braking or pushing feeling of the vehicles control. As I can see by many post regarding the problem with Toyota Sequoia's of the same year and model as mine in many of the complaints filed with nhsta. In researching the problem, it appears to be a driving safety issue if it occurs at higher speeds, luckily mine happened at low speeds. If Toyota is aware of this problem and has done recalls for the skid control ecu/yaw rate sensor on the 2003 Toyota Sequoia's, why not a recall on the 2002 Sequoias which seem to have the same problem? can my Sequoia still be driven? is it safe for my family at higher speeds? it appears even Toyota dealerships can't get this problem fixed most times or are charging thousands of dollars to fix it. Many with 2 or 3 different service calls to get it done correctly. How can this be, when this skid control ecu problem has been documented many many times. More than should be allowed. It is a safety issue for me and my family, and I am putting Toyota on notice if something should happen to me or anyone in my 2002 Toyota Sequoia due to this documented issue.

Every time I drive my 2002 Toyota Sequoia within 10min on average the trac off/vsc warning sounds come on and the car violently shakes and the brakes seem to lock up. It usually starts at speeds from 25 to 40mph and sometimes even on the highway at 65mph, very dangerous and scary. I have to stop the vehicle and shut it off and restart it for the signs to go off and for the traction control to stop. This doesn't resolve the issue since it just starts again when I start the car back up and drive. Its gotten to the point where its not safe to drive the vehicle especially at long distances. The vehicles cruise control was off going straight on a smooth city streets or highway while in motion.

Takata recall we have owned our sequioa since 12/13/2001, we bought it brand new. When we 1st bought it the airbag light came on immediately and bill dube of dover nh replaced something and fixed it. I have had many complaints with my vehicle and returned to the dealership many times thru out the years. I have had multiple issues with vsc traction control starting in 2002 lights would come on and go out, air bag light comes on when there is high humidity and when using air conditioning, my alloy wheels have been disgusting since 2004. I have a extensive repair history with bill dube dealership they never addressed issues as once lights on dash turn off there is no history. In 2006 my lights on dash came on I brought it to Toyota of portsmouth nh as I was almost at 100000. Miles. They could not look at vehicle due to warranty. I drove to bill dube and they refused to see me that day or document that lights were on so they could fix it. Once my odometer hit 100000 warranty was null and void. I was extremely upset called multiple times to Toyota corporation and appeared to get same jerk who refused to help and gave me the run around. We have owned our sequioa for 18 1/2 years. I love my car it has approx 445000 miles and would appreciate assistance. My vsc is constantly on now along with the abs light. The air bag only comes on when there is high humidity and I am driving. When we bought the sequioa the salesman actually stated the sequioa had a hard drive to retain light history. I also have been concerned with my frame which was replaced in 2012. I have return to portsmouth Toyota where work was down a few times. My vehicle appears crooked and not aligned they think I am crazy. I practically live in my vehicle I work in hospice so I am very aware of my vehicles look and condition. I would appreciate your assistance with my vehicle, I would like make it to 500000.

Tsc off and tsc trac warning lights come on and abs system actuates while in motion.

We have had the vsc/trac flashing warning lights come on, with a grinding noise and beeping alarms as we drive the vehicle on the road and/or on the freeway. The steering wheel vibrates and the vehicle slows down. Incident lasts approximately 10-20 seconds. Once it stops the vsc/trac light comes on until you stop driving. This occurs randomly when we are driving the vehicle on the road or on the freeway. We never know when it will happen when driving the vehicle. We are no longer driving the vehicle on long distance road trips or on the highway because we are afraid that we will get into an accident. We feel it is a health and safety issue that Toyota must address immediately.

The vsc,trac tries to engage while normal driving in city or on hwy,jerks vehicle to left suddenly also makes braking almost impossible and makes loud noise when trac tries to engage.

At on or about 7:30 pm on may13th 2018 our son was driving the families 2004 Toyota Sequoia northbound in 2 lane divided highway and no other traffic present. Weather was inclement, visibility clear but nothing out of the ordinary for florida. He was traveling 41 mph in a 45 in the left lane. No sooner than he went through the intersection traffic light controlled, (he had the right of way) did he go through what the deputy said was a slippery section of the road way covered with standing water. He released pressure on the accelerator to diminish hydroplaning and no sooner than that instant the vsc lights (variable speed control) lights illuminated in the dash. He reported that the right front wheel locked up and created a pivot point for the car to spin around 180 degrees clockwise, now facing oncoming traffic as he was now in the right lane. He was frantically attempting to regain control over the vehicle by constantly depressing the brakes in order to stop the vehicles motion however unsuccessful as he was pressing on the braking pedal with no response, the car now still in motion, hit the curb, and left the roadway by going now backwards down a steep embankment of over 12 feet and came to a halt. Luckily, a sheriffs deputy was traveling in the opposite direction and had witnessed this and was able to save my sons life by his quick response. The car had to be extracted out of the culvert with recovery cranes. Our family is so grateful to the deputy and that we have our son alive and without a scratch. He is a bit worn for wear being shook up like that. The Sequoia has always been serviced by Toyota and we enjoyed years of trouble-free ownership until this incident.

When taking turns at mild acceleration the slip indicator light will flash and the vehicle loses acceleration. This generally happens when taking a left turn from stop while entering traffic from a side street onto a main road. Generally at the intersections there are a small grade change for water drainage, this will cause uneven surface when driving across and cause a minor rocking of the vehicle. This is has produced dangerous situations on multiple occasions where the loss of acceleration leaves the vehicle in the oncoming lane longer than desired and could easily result in a serious collision. I have found similar complaints on multiple forums that have references the cause being associated with abs sensor or yaw sensors. Would love for this to be investigated and a solution provided.

Received Toyota recall notice for my vehicle; specifically by VIN. Called a local Toyota dealer who could not find this recall. Called Toyota who said it was fixed on my vehicle at a time when they did not have possession!! so is it ok to drive??.

While driving the vehicle the brakes where applying themselves, vehicle started shaking and vibrating and slowing down and the vsc trac lights came on. It scared me and I almost had a panic attack. I pulled off taylor road(city street) and turned the car off and checked to see if I had a flat tire. I restarted to car and the lights remain on and I took the car home. My wife is now scared to drive it.

The vsc trac, vsc off, brake light and abs light are all on on the dash. This is known problem with 1st generation Toyota Sequoia's. Toyota issued a recall on the 03 models for this issue and provided a fix at their expense. The same issue occurs in other model years but there is no open recall for it. Dealership wants approximately $2,000 to replace the skid control ecu.

The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Sequoia. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle inadvertently pulled to the left. In addition, the traction control and stability control warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the roadway and turned off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the contact's residence. The contact mentioned that the warning indicators were not illuminated when the vehicle was restarted. The dealer (Toyota of the shoals, s 5100, us-43, tuscumbia, al 35674) informed the contact that he would be responsible for the diagnostic fees. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 10v176000 (electronic stability control, traction control), but the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 163,000.

When my frame was recalled and repaired I started having my vcs and checknengin3 light come on constantly and name the truck shakes and is unable to be driven over speeds of 25 unstable and unsafe. Took it to lawrence Toyota and the said it would cost $2175 to repair this problem has occured in 100 of Sequoias and should be part of the frame recall. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and all I want Toyota to do is repair my vehicle as part of the original recall.

Vsc/trac and check engine light on.

Severe premature frame rust including the dislodge of spare tire and carrier, repaired periodically at high cost to the vehicle owner. Frames in question were manufactured with defect in corrosion resistant properties that is well known and documented. Ntsb has been aware of this condition on various Toyota trucks for at least 10 years. Class action lawsuit has been approved for limited model years vehicles but leaves many effected out of the class. Condition effects model year 2000 and up all tundra, tacoma, sequioa and 4runner vehicles. Toyota has been allowed to deny responsibility by implementing a limited service campaign that has long since expired on these faulty vehicles. This condition should have been a recall of all vehicles manufactured with these frames as so many continue to become unsafe over time with no resolution due to expiration of the "limited service campaign. " condition also causes failure of electronic stability control leading to temporary loss of vehicle control which is very common on these vehicles and has happened to me many times.

Blind spot monitor malfunction. Rear traffic alert malfunction. Pre collision warning system malfunction. This has been happening since odometer reading of 312 miles. Told by Toyota that a recall was issued and a software update would remedy this. Went today 3/21/18 to have update installed. Within 25 miles of leaving the dealership the warnings and malfunctions we're back on. The software update did not work. Car continues to have stability control malfunctions and sensor malfunctions related to collision warnings, blind spot, and rear traffic alert.

While applying brakes. . It takes a while to stop and while in reverse / backing up . . . Brakes squeek and slides when backing up and makes a squeeking, popping noise and it slides like the brakes are going to give out. Took to Toyota dealership and they state all vehicle brakes squeek and very common / found nothing wrong and had them indicate in writing (a mechanic and 2 other people have drove my vehicle stating yes something wrong w brakes).

The master pressure sensor is failing and from what I am reading this has been a common complaint in the early 2000's Toyotas but no one has done nothing about it besides charge an awful amount to fix. My vehicle when in 4wd brakes will lock up and I still slide no matter what gear or how slow I am going. I have almost slid into countless cars.

Vsc, vsc traction, check engine light stay on. No other problem to drive. Lights seen from 89000 mile. Changed brake system on 75000 mile including router and works fine.

The vehicle vsc trac system goes on for no reason when the car is in motion (roads are straight, and dry). As a result, the brakes go into a loud grind mode and do not engage, a loud blaring beeping sounds, the vehicle starts to vibrates horribly, I can not accelerate and the steering is difficult. It is not safe, as I was on a country road going 55 mph on a straight 2 way road with traffic! it has happened twice and as far as I can see it has happened to many other 2006 Sequoias owners yet only the 2003 were recalled for this issue. Unacceptable!.

The car makes a loud sound as if something was stuck underneath. At the same time it pulls to the right while severely vibrating. Also at the same time the lights for tracking control and stability control turn on. After a few seconds the car seems to be in normal driving mode again except for the warning lights for the vsc off-light. The warning lights reset sometimes but that only leads to the same problem starting again.

So many problems with this vehicle, and a major problem not only with this vehicle but other years and models as well the paint bubbling and coming off the vehicle especially hood area and top of vehicle, has to be bad paint Toyota is using.

My vehicle's vehicle stability control is engaging for no apparent reason while driving straight on a clear, clean, dry road. This has happened multiple times per month. Both on highway and city street. (25mph-70mph) controlling the car can become hard to do. Pretty loud grinding sound is heard when it is engaged. Fear an accident may happen because the vehicle may pull due to the brakes engaging unexpectedly.

My 2002 Sequoia has a saftey issue that needs to be addressed. While driving in a freeway 65mph my SUV violently pulls to the right almost causing a crash, the "vsc" and "trac off" lights turn on in dash cluster.

While driving going any speed low or high a vsc trac off light appears on the gage cluster and starts a high pitched noise and abs locks up on my passenger side pulling me to the right almost hitting another car or any pedestrians that may be there.

The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. While driving 70 mph, the vsc (anti-skid) system malfunctioned. The contact stated that the brakes engaged automatically and the vehicle pulled to the left and the right. A dealer was not contacted about the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that there were no customer care programs for the failure. The failure mileage was 188,000.
