ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT SLOW SPEED, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS, SOMETIMES WITH BEEP ALARM AND SOMETIMES ENGAGES THE ABS SYSTEM. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE SINCE YOU LOSE CONTROL OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AIR PUMP THAT CUTS ON FOR ONE MINUTE WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED, PUSHES AIR INTO STARTING SYSTEM TO INSURE ALL GAS IS BURNED COMPLETELY. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD BY DEALER A LITTLE PLASTIC FAN BLADE BREAKS INTO PCS. AND WERE STUCK IN VALVES MAKING CAR GO INTO "LIMP MODE". WHEN THIS HAPPENED CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL OR GO OVER 45 MPH. DEALER QUOTED $3500.00 AND SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO THESE LITTLE PLASTIC FAN BLADES. I HAVE READ THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY IN THE TACOMA TRUCK LINE. I THINK DEALER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THESE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ON CAR OR UP TO 10 YEARS. THEY SHOULD NOT BE MADE OF PLASTIC BEING SO CLOSE TO ALL THE HEAT IN AREA OF AIR PUMP. ME AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEING ON INTERSTATE WHERE THE NEED TO GO OVER 45 MPH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY OR GET REAR ENDED. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY LOOKING AT THE TACOMA WEB SITE, TOYOTA IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET, COVERING SOME PEOPLE AND I READ COVERING CARS IN CANADA BUT NOT IN USA. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO COVER COST. MOST OF THE COST IS LABOR FOR THIS 5 BUCK PLASTIC FAN BLADE.HIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO PAY 3500.00 BUCKS FOR A BAD DESIGN. *TR

NOW I JUST GOT A PERFECTLY GOOD SEQUOIA MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY BUT JUST SITTING BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A $10,000 FRAME REPLACEMENT. *TR

WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF & BACK ON IT SEEMS TO CLEAR UP THE ISSUE. TOOK IT IN AND WAS GIVEN THE CODES C1223 (FAULT IN ABS SYSTEM), C1247, C1310, WAS THEN REFERRED TO A DEALER. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE & SAW I AM NOT ALONE SO WANTED TO REPORT IT. ALSO 2 YEARS AGO WE HAD OUR LATCH BREAK ON THE REAR DOOR, HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED TO OPEN UP THE DOOR, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY SEQUOIAS!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
BRAKES FAIL ON OCCASION AND VSC LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN SEEM TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A COMMON ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2006 SEQUOIA BASED ON PREVIOUS POSTS. TAKEN TO DEALER ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM. TODAY 5/23 DEALER STATED ITS A VACUUM AND REPAIR PART IS APPROX. $1000. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER WITH SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. AT LEAST TWELVE COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FILED. *TR
