STARTED CAR AND HEAR A LOUD WHINING NOISE BUT NO LIGHTS CAME ON. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE WHINING NOISE WAS NOT HEARD WHEN STARTING CAR BUT TRAC OFF, VSC LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WERE ALL ON. TOOK THE TRUCK TO MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED THE BATTERY AND FLUSHED THE BRAKE FLUID. LIGHTS WERE OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MORE STARTS OF THE TRUCK AND ALL LIGHTS WERE BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE KEPT THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS, CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD HIM TO REPLACE THE AIR INJECTION DRIVER. THIS WAS DONE 12 NOV 10 AND BY 13 NOV 10 ALL LIGHTS ARE BACK ON AGAIN AND THE TRUCK IS HAVING ISSUES PICKING UP SPEED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH IT SUDDENLY LOSES ENGINE POWER AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO STEER. BOTH THE VSC OFF AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR BUT COULD NOT TURN IT ON IMMEDIATELY. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP FINE, BUT AFTER I DROVE FOR LESS THAN HALF MILE THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES WITHIN A COUPLE OF MILES. SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN HAPPENING EVERY FEW DAYS. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC BUT THEY COULD NOT PULL A CODE. SEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO MANY 1ST GENERATION SEQUOIAS. *TR
