IT FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING AND THE WARNING SIREN GOES OFF, TRAC & VCS LIGHTS START FLASHING AND VEHICLE STARTS GRINDING SOUNDS LIKE METAL ON METAL AND LOOSE CONTROL OF CAR, CAN'T BRAKE, CAN'T STEER JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO PASS AS YOU ARE ROLLING AWAY. VERY VERY SCARY - WHAT IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY??? NOT A HAPPY TOYOTA OWNER RIGHT NOW!!!!THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS, I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT SOUND JUST LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT - ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOME FATALITIES TO HAPPEN. THIS IS MY 1ST TOYOTA AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND UP UNTIL NOW THIS HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT VEHICLE TO DRIVE (14YEARS). NOW I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE... *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ON HWY APPROX 65 MPH. VSC AND TRAC LIGHTS CAME ONE. GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD AS VEHICLE PULLED. I WAS BY MYSELF THANKFULLY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THE STABILITY CONTROL ECU REPLACED - 945.00. WOULD HAVE BEEN 1,200.00 BUT THE DEALER WAIVED THREE OF THE FIVE HOURS OF LABOR. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A RECALL AND IS VERY UNSAFE. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM TOYOTA DEALER AS A FAMILY VEHICLE BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I HAD OUR FIRST CHILD. VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL? I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT WERE EXACTLY LIKE MINE EXPERIENCE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I OWN A TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2001 LIMITED. LIKE 6 MONTHS AGO I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AROUND 60 MPH UPHILL. SVC-TRAC OFF LIGHTS CAME ON AND SOME NOISE THIS HAPPENED IN DRY PERFECT DRIVING CONDITIONS. AFTER THAT, SOME TIMES THE LIGHTS CAME ON WITH OUT NOISE. AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF AND TURNED ON AGAIN ALL LIGHTS WERE GONE. I SCANNED TO SEE IF ANY CODE WAS STORED BUT NOTHING. UNTIL ONE DAY DRIVING ON MAIN BOULEVARD SPEED AROUND 40 MPH IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CAR PULLED ME TO THE RIGHT AND LOUD GRINDING NOISE HAPPENED AT SAME TIME. THIS SOUND AND SHAKE OF THE VEHICLE LAST NO MORE THEN 15 SECONDS. AFTER THAT, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN UP TO THE TIME THAT IT WAS HAPPENING EVERY MILE. THE CAR WAS BRAKING ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING, RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND LEFT REAR WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SCANNED AND NOTHING, ASKED ME IF I COULD LEAVE THE CAR ONE MORE DAY. NEXT DAY THEY CALL ME TO SAY THAT YAW RATE SENSOR WAS FAULTY. I REPLACED, SENSOR PLUS LABOR WAS $ 800. I HAVE NOT FELT THAT PROBLEM AGAIN. TOYOTA PEOPLE SEEM THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING. AT FREEWAY SPEED THIS WILL CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM IT IS THE BIG QUESTION. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED UNDER A "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" FOR EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. VEHICLES FOR THIS CAMPAIGN ARE BEING INSPECTED AND IF THEY DO NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT FRAME PERFORATION FROM RUST, A RUST RESISTANT COMPOUND IS BEING APPLIED. FOR VEHICLES THAT DO HAVE SIGNIFICANT FRAME PERFORATION, FAILING THE INSPECTION, TOYOTA IS REPLACING THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHILE TOYOTA IS REPLACING THE FRAME FREE OF CHARGE, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THE COSTS OF ANY COMPONENT THAT BREAKS (DUE TO SIGNIFICANT RUST) DURING THE DISASSEMBLY OR REASSEMBLY, I.E. ANY RUSTED PARTS OR EVEN NUTS AND BOLTS THAT ARE NOT REUSABLE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, IT IS THEIR FAULT THAT MANY THINGS WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED WHEN THEY OTHERWISE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE, AND I WILL BE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR IT? THIS TREATMENT WAS CONFIRMED BY CALLING TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE. I BELIEVE I WILL BE LOOKING AT SIGNIFICANT COSTS, WHICH ARE UNKNOWN UNTIL THEY HAPPEN, AT WHICH POINT I WILL BE FORCED TO PAY FOR IT OR BE LEFT WITH A PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED, UNDRIVEABLE VEHICLE DUE TO FAULTY TOYOTA PARTS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
BOUGHT MY 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2 YEARS AGO (OBVIOUSLY USED) AND THE VSC/TRAC LIGHTS HAVE COME ON IN THE PAST BUT NEVER REALLY EFFECTED DRIVING. THEY WOULD GO BACK OFF BY THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE BUTTON ON THE DASH DIDN'T TURN THEM OFF. TODAY I WENT TO DRIVE IT AND NOTICED THE LIGHTS WERE ON AGAIN. AS I'M DRIVING, I'M NOTICING THAT THE VEHICLE IS ACTING LIKE I'M DRIVING ON WATER (ALMOST LIKE I'M IN 4X4 MODE) AND IT'S SHAKING BAD BECAUSE THE ROADS ARE DRY. MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND REATTACHED. THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AND DROVE FINE ON THE TEST DRIVE. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND WENT TO LEAVE LATER, THE LIGHTS WERE BACK ON AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. IT KEEPS JERKING AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. LOOKED FOR A TOYOTA RECALL BUT FOUND NOTHING EXCEPT A LOAD OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY TO GET REPAIRED AND WHEN YOU'RE WORKING JUST TO PAY YOUR BILLS AND SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY, YOU DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA $2000 LAYING AROUND TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL. NOT EVEN SURE WHAT TO DO NOW SINCE I STILL OWE ANOTHER YEAR ON THIS VEHICLE. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER DRIVING MY 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 4X4, 70 MPH FOR 45 MILES, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABRUPT RIGHT HAND TURN ON ITS OWN. THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM LOCKED THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO TURN RIGHT. LATER THAT WEEK MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE YAW SENSOR. SINCE THEN, THE TRUCK HAS BEHAVED AS EXPECTED. I JUST HEARD A FRIEND ALSO HAD A 2001 4X4 TOYOTA TACOMA AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, ALTHOUGH HIS VEHICLE ROLLED 5 TIMES AND THERE WERE SEVERAL INJURIES. HE HAD ABOUT 135000 MILE ON HIS VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, ON MAY 24, 2014, I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY KIDS THROUGH INTERSTATE 15 SOUTH AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES PER HOUR. MY TRUCK PULLED ME TO THE RIGHT IN WHICH I HAD TO REACT FAST AND HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS. VSC-TRAC OFF LIGHT TURNED ON WITH A BEEPING NOISE. I TRIED TO BREAK AND MY TRUCK LOST CONTROLLED AND BEGAN MAKING A GRINDING METAL NOISE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND STEERED STRAIGHT. THIS LASTED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME. IF I HADN'T REACTED FAST, WE WERE GOING TO BE THROWN OFF THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE MECHANIC AND THE COMPUTER SCANNER SHOWED-NO ACTIVE FAULTS. VSC- IS THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL. THE VSC AUTO ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES. THERE'S A BUTTON THAT TURNS OFF AND OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD. I NEVER TOUCH THIS BUTTON. THIS VSC LIGHTS OFF AND ON AND PULLS THE CAR WITHOUT A WARNING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN ESCONDIDO AND SPOKE TO MIKE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE SAID HE'S NEVER HEARD ANYBODY COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S A RECALL IN THE 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. MY TRUCK HAS 189000 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FOR MY CHILDREN AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO US. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AND THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO THEM BUT TOYOTA DOESN'T WANT TO DO A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRAME OF 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. PLEASE ASSIST US WITH THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING INTO LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS DRY WARM CONDITIONS AND AT 70 MPH MY CAR VIBRATED LOUDLY AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT HARD. PULLED OVER ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND TRAC AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND DID NOT GO BACK OFF UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF ONLY TO COME BACK ON AFTER 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ANOTHER LANE WITH ANOTHER CAR BESIDE ME. VERY SCARY!! DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I HAVE OWED THIS CAR SINCE IT HAD 64000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I SEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2003 YEAR MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS,BUT NOTHING FOR MY YEAR MODEL. HELP ME GET MY SUV FIXED. I WANT TO TRUST IT AGAIN. *TR

TOYOTA SENT ME A LETTER ASKING ME TO BRING MY 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA TRUCK TO A DEALER NEAR ME TO HAVE MY RUSTED FRAME REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR TRUCKS LIKE MINE. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK THERE I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $2300 FOR PARTS.I CALLED TOYOTA TO COMPLAIN BUT WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND YET TOYOTA WILL NOT KEEP TO THEIR WORD OF DOING THE REPAIRS AT NO COST.I FEEL TOYOTA NEEDS TO OWN UP AND FIX A PROBLEM THAT WAS THEIR FAULT TO BEGIN WITH. *JS
