TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA FIRST STARTED A YEAR AGO IN 2009 THE VSC LIGHTS WOULD COME ON FOR NO REASON. IN AUGUST 2010 THE VSC LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD BEEPING NOISE COMES ON AND THE BRAKES AND VEHICLE START SHAKING AND VIBRATING UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAS DONE THIS ABOUT 10 TIMES NOW THE LAST TWO TIMES IT WAS SO BAD THE CAR STARTED BREAKING OFF THE ROAD AND I ALMOST RAN IN A DITCH. VERY DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST, MY THREE CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED RECALLS ON THE 2003 MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2002. WHEN IS TOYOTA GOING TO OWN UP TO THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THEIR OTHER MODELS. THEY HAVE TO KNOW THIS THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT PROBLEM. I SURE HOPE THEY DO AND SOON BECAUSE ME AND MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE DIED THIS LAST TIME. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
SINCE END OF JUNE 2010, I HAD TO HAVE MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA TOWED BECAUSE IT HAD STARTED TO VEER OFF AND THE WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. THE VSC LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS THE "SQUIGGLY CAR" LIGHT. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AS I WAS 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, SO I HAD IT TOWED. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE BEARINGS BUT COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE I HAD FELT AS FAR AS THE VSC INCIDENT. THEY CHARGED ME FOR INSPECTION BUT SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG AND SENT ME HOME WITH THE CAR. I EXPERIENCED THIS FOR A FEW DAYS AND FINALLY TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR. THEY DID A ZERO RECALIBRATING AND SAW THERE WAS ISSUES ON THE COMPUTER COMING UP BUT COULDN'T ALSO EXACTLY PINPOINT WHAT WAS WRONG. IT TOOK A WEEK BEFORE I GOT IT BACK AS IT DIDN'T REOCCUR WITH THEM. THE FOLLOWING DAY AS I DROVE IT, THE VSC LIGHTS AND SQUIGGLY CAR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. EVERY TIME I MADE A TURN IT SEEMED IT JUMPED AND IT WOULDN'T GAIN ACCELERATION QUICKLY WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS. PLUS IT MADE THIS LOUD NOISE AS IF SOMETHING WAS RUBBING AND IT WOULD SLOW DOWN , THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, REGAIN SPEED. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE YAW SENSOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, AGAIN TAKING THE STREETS IT SEEMED THAT EVERYTIME I STOPPED AND PRESSED AGAIN IT SHIFTED SOMETHING AS I FELT IT UNDER THE PEDALS, THE VSC LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON BUT THEN TURN OFF AND THEN FINALLY REGAIN SPEED. EACH AND EVERY TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS, IT DID THIS. I FINALLY LOOKED UP A RECALL THAT ONE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME ABOUT AND NOTICED THE 2003 RECALL FOR TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. HOWEVER TOYOTA WILL NOT HELP SINCE MY CAR IS 2002, HENCE WHY I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT IT NOW. I BELIEVE THE EXACT THING IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I'VE HAD IT SWERVE ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE VSC LIGHT CAME ON AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY FOR FEAR OF IT SLOWING DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE CAR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND DIED. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY SORT FROM THE CAR. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL THIS EVENT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR BUT ONCE THE GEAR IS SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION STALLED AND DIED. THIS PROBLEM KEPT ON GOING SO I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. DEALER SAID THAT IT WILL COST AT LEAST $4400 TO FIX TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE IN SEQUOIA. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS (40 - 50MPH) ABRUPTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT, VSC TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON, HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS THE GRINDING NOISE STOPPED ON 2 OCCASIONS AND THE PULL TO THE RIGHT STOPS AND SEEMS FINE. VSC TRACTION LIGHTS STAY ON. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE SKID CONTROL COMPUTER OR ECU - 650.00 AND THE YAW RATE SENSOR 401.00. HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2003 SEQUOIA ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM BUT NOT THE 2002. THERE APPEAR TO BE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH OF THE PARTS THAT ARE MENTIONED ABOVE. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS. *TR

TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2002 SR5(21,000MLS) WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A ROLLING POSITION THE VEHICLE DEVELOPS A BUCKING AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE TRACKING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE WHEELS SEEM TO BE BINDING YOU ARE NOW CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE, YOU ARE NOW ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYONE IS BRAKING TRYING TO AVOID CRASHING INTO YOU, AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT STOPS AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED, BUT THE TRACKING LIGHT STAYS ON. TO GET IT OFF YOU HAVE TO STOP SWITCH OFF THE VEHICLE THEN START AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS NEVER WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING OVER 30 MLS PER HR. BUT OFTEN FROM A SLOW TO A HIGHER SPEED WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY I BECOME VERY NERVOUS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. CONSUMER STATES FAILED VEHICLE SKID CONTROL AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2003 MODEL MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 1, 2002 THROUGH APRIL 17, 2003. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY 2002 AND IT ALSO HAS THE SAME PART NUMBER AS THE 2003 MODEL. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO MOVE, THEN IT WOULD SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING WHICH LEFT HIM IN TRAFFIC AT 10-15 MPH, THEN A SERIES OF LOUD NOISES EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WOULD HAPPEN EVERY TIME HE CAME TO A STOP AND SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE VSC AND ABS LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATED THE SYSTEMS WERE OFF. IN TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST HAVE TRADITIONAL BRAKES WITHOUT THE SAFETY OF THE ABS AND VSC. WHICH WAS VERY EVIDENT DURING A RAINY DAY WHILE BRAKING, BECAUSE THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK WENT INTO A SKID SIDE WAYS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON 6/21/2010, MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SRS 2-WHEEL DRIVE MODEL AT 74K MILES HAD FAILURE WITH ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHILE RUNNING ON HIGHWAY. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPEATEDLY FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE THE OVERDRIVE GEARS, RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT DROPPING OF ENGINE RPM, CAUSED SUDDEN DROP OF VEHICLE SPEED, CAUSED VEHICLE VIBRATION AND LOUD CLANKING SOUNDS, AND RESULTED IN DIFFICULT DRIVING CONDITION. THIS WAS PARTIALLY CORRECTABLE ONLY BY TAKING THE VEHICLE OFF THE OVERDRIVE MODE. ALTHOUGH NO VEHICLE ACCIDENT NOR INJURY RESULTED FROM THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE, I NOTED THAT MANY DISCUSSION BOARDS LISTED THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR 2000-2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND TUNDRA. THE PROBLEM WAS ATTRIBUTED TO OD PLANETARY GEARS AND SUN GEAR IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS PATTERN OF DEFECT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THE MANUFACTURE TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER POTENTIAL DANGEROUS INCIDENTS. IN MY OPINION, TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS PATTERN OF ISSUES FOR ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER USED FOR TOW AND HAD MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, I PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK LOST POWER AS CARS SWERVED AROUND ME AND A VIOLENT GRINDING NOISE STARTED. A SKID CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I COULD FEEL THE GRINDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRUCK BEEPED AND 2 MORE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE "TRAC OFF" AND "VSC" CAME ON. AFTER THAT THE TRUCK DROVE NORMAL. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED THAT DAY WAS WHILE I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A GAS STATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW! I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE ON THE ROAD AS THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT. I HAVE READ ALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. MANY SEQUOIA OWNERS HAVE HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS. WHY WILL TOYOTA NOT FIX THESE PROBLEMS??? WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR THEM TO FEEL RESPONSIBLE?? *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAC LIGHT/VSC LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEN THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND A GRINDING NOISE SOUNDING LIKE THE ANTI-LOCKING BRAKE MECHANISM IS ACTIVATING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I'VE SEEN THAT THE 2003 MODEL HAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE SAME THING, AND AFTER SEEING MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2002 MODEL, THEY SHOULD EXPAND THE DATE RANGE TO COVER THE 2002 AS WELL! IT HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEKEND AND IT'S HAPPENED 4-5 TIMES PREVIOUS TO THIS RECENT INCIDENT (ONE EARLIER INCIDENT HAD MY STEPDAUGHTER DRIVING THE SEQUOIA AND THE POWER SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING!). THE MECHANICS TOLD US THEY COULDN'T PULL ANY RELATED CODES THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN. WE NEED TO TAKE THIS IN AGAIN IMMEDIATELY, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY THE FULL PRICE WHEN THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART THEY'VE CREATED? I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE-10 THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND AND IN-TOWN AT A SLOWER SPEED (40 MPH) THE SECOND INCIDENT. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME OR I'D HAVE HIT THEM FOR SURE! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE ISSUES WITH TOYOTA HASN'T JUST STARTED WITH THE 2009/2010 ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. AT LEAST FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT TOYOTA'S VEHICLES AND I HAVE 1 COMPLAINT TO POST. WE HAVE A 2002 SEQUOIA WITH 122K MILES. OUR TRANSMISSION WENT COSTING US APPROX. $4600.00. WE MAINTENANCE THIS TRUCK RELIGIOUSLY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME(SOME WITH ONLY 70K MILES, I GUESS WE WERE LUCKILY). NOW THIS TRUCK COST BETWEEN 42K TO 50K OR SO AND 8 YEARS LATER I AM CHANGING THE FREAKIN TRANS. HOW THE HECK(USED LIGHTLY), DOES TOYOTA OR ANY OTHER AUTO MAKER GET AWAY WITH THIS STUFF? I ALSO HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING TO SEE HOW WE COULD GET TOYOTA HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PIECE OF [XXX] TRANS. I HAD A CHEVY CAVALIER IN THE 90'S COST AROUND 9K .NEVER HAD 1 ISSUE WITH IT ENGINE, ENGINE LIGHT, TRANSMISSION..NOTHING. I WILL CONTINUE TO RESEARCH AND BLOG HERE UNTIL I AM SATISFIED WITH AN RESPONSE FROM THE CEO. IF EVERYONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM COMPLAINS AND SCREAM LOUD ENOUGH THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS FURTHER PLEASE CONTACT ME.
