Problems with 2001 Toyota Sequoia ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

While driving into my driveway, on the freeway or on city roads, i suddenly hear beeping sound, grinding noise, momentary deceleration and then the vsc off and vsc trac lights in the instrument panel turns on. sometimes this happens when the vehicle is idling and stationary. i am afraid that i might get into an accident because of the sudden deceleration especially when i am driving on the freeway on the way to the office 5 days a week. the local toyota dealership told me that there was a recall for this covering 2003 sequoia models but did not include 2001 sequoia models. i believe that toyota should include 2001 models in the recall before people get into accidents because of this problem.

Toyota rust issue on my 2001 toyota sequoia v8 sr5. used to transport friends and family and children, but no longer safe due to excessive rust and inability to control the vehicle when slowing at higher speeds. vehicle veers to right and left uncontrollably. today, i almost sideswiped another vehicle on the highway. i was going around 60 mph and slowed to exit and almost lost control of my vehicle and ended up in a ditch. i took it to a mechanic and was told the vehicle is unsafe to lift due to excessive rust. recommended to have the frame replaced, but that's well beyond the cost i'm willing to pay. research tells me that this is a consistent problem for these vehicles and toyota should do something about it -- if not pay to have new frames done or reimburse people for the many who have these issues. this vehicle has only 154,000 miles and is otherwise in immaculate shape and condition due to proper maintenance. this problem should be resolved quickly by toyota. i no longer feel safe driving this vehicle for the reasons i've ...

Driving down the road trac, vsc trac lights come on and the vehicle breaks hard and jerks the steering wheel to the right.

Driving 45mph on straight road the vehicle vsc engaged pulling hard to the right and decelerating quickly. i pulled over, called dealership and was told to drive it the 2 miles to dealership. within 100' of dealership i crossed intersection and car suddenly decelerated, engaged the assistance again and i was almost struck by truck that swerved and almost hit pedestrian. dealer said it was a yaw steering sensor. part was unobtainable or possible within 8 weeks, and no after market parts available. mechanic recommended vehicle not be driven. toyota declared part obsolete. i researched and found this was already at the nhtsa attention but that they closed the investigation. how is this acceptable?

The frame is rust and i have problem sometime in stering sostn and the trction control the light is on sometime and i need turn off my suv whait a minute and turn in for the light turn off

The traction control pulls the vehicle to the right at any speed. i almost crashed today.

Tsc off and tsc trac warning lights come on and abs system actuates while in motion.

While driving the vehicle the brakes where applying themselves, vehicle started shaking and vibrating and slowing down and the vsc trac lights came on. it scared me and i almost had a panic attack. i pulled off taylor road(city street) and turned the car off and checked to see if i had a flat tire. i restarted to car and the lights remain on and i took the car home. my wife is now scared to drive it.

While driving going any speed low or high a vsc trac off light appears on the gage cluster and starts a high pitched noise and abs locks up on my passenger side pulling me to the right almost hitting another car or any pedestrians that may be there.

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 toyota sequoia. while driving 70 mph, the vsc (anti-skid) system malfunctioned. the contact stated that the brakes engaged automatically and the vehicle pulled to the left and the right. a dealer was not contacted about the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that there were no customer care programs for the failure. the failure mileage was 188,000.

While driving our 01 sequoia sr5 with only 85,000 miles on side streets and highways at speeds ranging from 5mph to 70 mph, the suv's braking system suddenly engages for no reason while the veh. is in motion. the vsc, check engine lights come on along with the alerting sound. when the brakes engage, the veh. veers to the right, the steering wheel vibrates and the veh. goes into a skid due to the brakes being suddenly engaged. the veh. also decelerates suddenly as if it has lost power. this is dangerous for other drivers who can't tell if you are braking because there are no brake lights to be seen to prevent a collision. thankfully we have been able to react defensively and avoid collisions with other veh.'s. and roadside objects. we have seen several suggestions as to the fix for this problem like the yaw rate sensor being replaced. the cost of the part is $568.00 without the install cost.this problem is a safety issue and if it occurs at the wrong time, a preventable tragedy is going to occur. i have seen well over 50 complaints on this from other owners and a closed nhtsa investigation ...

While driving on flat, dry, level pavement at freeway speeds the vsc has been activating causing the steering wheel to jerk to the right. as the steering wheel pulls the vehicle to the right there is a chime, then the vsc and trac system shuts its self off and the "off" light stays illuminated until the engine is shut off. upon restart, the vsc is on again and the cycle repeats. the check engine light is not on. there is no way to predict when the wheel will be jerked again. seems very dangerous.

In motion at highway or city roads: vehicle while running fine , all of sudden goes off course , looses stability, looses all power , acceleration comes down automatically , and hear a grinding noise ,and vsc trac and vsc off lights come on . a real dangerous situation when vehicle looses stability control

Vsc trac light comes on while driving, activates brakes and car pulls and swerves while driving. *tr

Intermittent vsc control warnings, breaking engaged with pulling vehicle steering to the right. sometimes with only the warning lights and check lights. first occurrence day after purchase of this used vehicle (50 miles). took back to dealership and could not find nothing wrong, very scare . speed has been between 10 to 65 mph. highway and city driving.
