| 2002 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IN DRY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE SKID CONTROL (VSC) AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TRAC) WARNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY BEGAN FLASHING AND BEEPING. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND A LOUD GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED. THIS MADE FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC! AFTER ABOUT FIVE SECONDS, THE GRINDING/ABS ACTIVATION AND WARNING BEEPS STOPPED, BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ILLUMINATED. WHEN TAKING THE NEXT HIGHWAY OFFRAMP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE WARNING LIGHTS AND GRINDING STARTED AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKING WAS OVERRIDDEN BY THE ABS! ONLY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING DID THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF. THE 2003 SEQUOIA WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE 2002 SEQUOIA SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES BEFORE THIS WILL HAPPEN?? TOYOTA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR |
| 2002 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | "VSC/TRAC" WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON, AND CAR TRIES TO GO BACK/FORWARD AT THE SAME TIME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT, AND PROBLEM IS CHRONIC. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS IN TOYOTA SEQUOIAS. DATE OF MOST RECENT INCIDENT IS RECORDED BELOW. *NM |
