Traction control became active and engaged. Pavement was dry/clean, 43 degrees, no traction limiting road/tire conditions. This occurred during acceleration regardless of rate of acceleration. Traction control would turn back off when pressure was released from the gas pedal. This severely limited the acceleration of the vehicle and could create a hazardous situation if someone was to be pulling out in front of traffic. I pulled over to the shoulder and turned off the vehicle waited 10-15 seconds and powered the vehicle back on condition did not return.

Vehicle's traction control system malfunctioned while driving on dry flat pavement. Vsc and trac control lights came on, vehicle pulled hard to the right, made loud grinding noise, and was extremely difficult to control steering and braking. This continued for approximately one minute, stopped, and then did it again. This is a very dangerous situation which could potentially lead to fatal accident if it occurs at higher speeds. It happened with our children in the car and scared everyone. This is the second time it has happened to us, but appears to be a very common problem with this make/model. I would like to see a recall.

I just bought this used 2003 Toyota Sequoia on may 25, 2012. I noticed the warning lights indicating a defective traction control system and abs system on my way home from the dealership. They assured me the system works fine and that it has something to do with the computer module. All the following warning lights are on at the same time: trac, vsc off, and abs lights. I also checked the vehicle history on the Toyota website and it is recorded that the Toyota dealer worked on this problem on 07/23/2009 when the car had 97,187 miles. I have done a lot of research on this and it seems 50,000 Sequoia's were recalled for this problem, however, my Sequoia's VIN was not on the list. Please help. In addition the lighting on the dashboard does not work.

I was driving on the highway slowing down in traffic and the truck started skidding on it's own, the vsc trac light and trac off light both came on while the car with the skid mark indicator light flashed and beeped, there was a noise coming from under the truck that sounded like something was lose. I stopped at the store and when I got back in the truck, the lights were off but a few minutes later, going only about 30 mph, it did it again and was louder and shook worse. I was scared and just tried to get home. It was too late to take to Toyota but I did talk to a mechanic and will go to Toyota in the am.

Had just turned onto a road at 25 mph and vcs/trac lights came on, started beeping, made a grinding noise and was hard to steer, pulled off road as thinking I had ran over something. . . . Very scared. Now does it approximately 2 x weekly with no rhyme or reason.

Was driving out my driveway, not going fast at all. . . Turned on a major street and suddenly, a picture of the skidding car appeared and then the trac/vsc lights came on with a horrendous noise. Took car to the local Toyota dealership and of course they couldn't find anything wrong with it after relinquishing $100. 00 diagnostic fee. The light and noise from the vsc engaging or disengaging is really loud and has happened every day since the initial issue. Does this present a problem? I'm afraid to drive my car but is very much needed for work and recreational activities. I've searched online and it appears that this is an ongoing issue that Toyota is aware of but fail to do a recall.

The vsc, trak light and abs lights came on which in turn made the check engine light come on. They stay on continually. At first no code could be found. Then dealer stated that the ecu had to be replaced as well as air pump - both totalling over $3000. This is not the only Sequoia to have this happen. Other years have been recalled so why not the 2005 - or any other year since it seems to be an issue. I emailed and talked to Toyota. They have not heard of this problem and can not help with it's solution. Last Toyota I'll have.

2002 Toyota Sequoia brake slippery and shake the vehicle, then both vsc and trac off warning lights are on.

Same problem like everyone else, traction control, vsc, brake light,and abs light on. Dealership says no recall but they recalled all 2003 models for the same issue. Abs computer module. Part# 89541-0c050. Vehicle lights are off when vehicle is started, after 2-3 miles all the lights come on then the car is hard to handle due to traction control making the car unstabable. Also with abs light on, braking is very bad. Constant fight to keep the vehicle straight during braking.

I have a 2001 Toyota sequioa, I was driving on I 90 at 70 miles per hour. All of a sudden vsc trac sensor light came on anf off couple times and then it auto engage and disengage the brakes. I almost lost the balnce of my SUV. I had my 2 young kids and my wife with me.

Problem with vsc sensor engaging while driving both in the city and also highway. Based on information obtained from the dealership, this is a known issue with Toyota Sequoias. I contacted Toyota on today to determine if this is infact a known issue with Toyota Sequoia why has there not been a recall. Toyota indicated that they would not be knowledgeable of the number of cases concerning this matter and that there currently was not recall for the yaw rate sensor which the defective part. While I am aware of the numerous other problems identified with Toyota cars, it is quite alarming as to the performance of my vehicle due to problem with this sensor. The sensor engages for no specific reason. While conveying this concern to Toyota, there was not much satisfaction offered except that the issued would be logged and I received a case number 1105241578.

After I have driven my 2005 Toyota Sequoia for approx 20+ miles, when I apply the brakes the abs, brake, trac, vsc, etc. Lights all light up on the dash. When this happens the SUV becomes a little harder to control. It wants to pull to one side when applying the brakes. If you stop and turn off the SUV and restart the lights go off. Most of the time the lights will come on a short time later. I contacted Toyota in July of 2009 and they told me to take it to the dealer. I would have to pay to have it fixed since my warranty had expired. I have been doing research online and this is a big problem with many Sequoia owners. Toyota does not seam to have an answer for this issue.
