Problems with 2002 Toyota Sequoia STEERING

When the vehicle is in motion the vsc trac lights come on and the brakes active on their own causing the cracking noise and a rough jerk motion to the car. this has happened several times both on the highway and city streets even when driving 10 miles per hour

The first indication that something was wrong was the first week of september 2019. i was driving down a county road when the lights indicator lights for the trac and vsc started flashing and beeping when i drove over some bumps. the lights would not go off even when pressing trac off. i turned off the car and restarted it and the lights were off but only for about 15 minutes into my drive. i took it to the toyota dealership and the agent said he did not know anything about the system and i would have to bring it back for diagnostics. that night i was getting ready to go over a rather large bridge when all of the sudden the car jerked twice to the right with the second event pulling me off the road. it was extremely frightening and terrified us all. thank god it did not happen on the bridge or under other circumstances. the vsc and trac lights came on at approximately the same time as they had been off. i contacted toyota corporate and essentially they said that the vehicle was not under warranty. ...

Just driving along, and feels like brakes grab and jerk the wheel and vsc trac lights go on. problem has been occurring intermittently. can be at highway speeds, but also happens at any speed. very dangerous and scary. vsc-trac and trac-off lights randomly illuminated on dry, level pavement when brakes were applied, causing a loud grinding noise (much louder than normal application of anti-lock brakes).

Tamara recall: i was going 60 mph when my traction control lights started blinking. it started making a grinding noise and front end shaking and loss of power steering it has 190,000 miles on it

Driving the vehicle at about 60mph, grinding sound, loss of power steering control, pulls to the right side, deceleration, loud noise like a tire blowout, vsc lights on dash come on. this has happened 4 times while driving the vehicle, no warning and you must pull over and turn the engine off and it will reset so you are able to start the vehicle to continue. very scary incidents!!!

Frame rust. my mechanics will not lift the truck because of extensive frame rust

My vehicle's vehicle stability control is engaging for no apparent reason while driving straight on a clear, clean, dry road. this has happened multiple times per month. both on highway and city street. (25mph-70mph) controlling the car can become hard to do. pretty loud grinding sound is heard when it is engaged. fear an accident may happen because the vehicle may pull due to the brakes engaging unexpectedly.

About a month ago i was driving on the highway at about 60mph and all of a sudden my vehicle began to jerk erraticly, became hard to control steering and braking, seemed to be braking on its on, it made a very loud grinding noise and some sort of alarm starting beeping and my vsc lights and traction control lught starting flashing. this lasted about 3 minutes and continues to happen sporadically every 2 to 3 days. there is no cause and no rhythm or reason for this to happen. i am always on a seemingly flat smooth surface moving straight ahead at a moderately high rate of speed between 50 and 70mph..

Takata recall. vehicle stability control system my 2002 sequoia began beeping, making a loud grinding noise and the traction light came on. i had little to no control of the vehicle.i am scared because it have happen on the freeway going 60-65ph. i literly do not have any control of my car everytime this happens.

I purchased my sequoia in 2003 and the trac off/vsc trac lights started turning on a few months after purchase. i have told the dealer every time i bring the car for service and have always been told that they cannot find a problem. once i turn off car the lights go off. well, on july 2015 while traveling on a windy road at 35 mph, we heard an warning alarm sound for the first time and the steering locked for about two seconds and the car felt like we had a flat tire or dragging something underneath. after about 10 seconds the car resumed back to normal as if nothing had happened. about two weeks later, i was backing out of a parking stall and it did the exact thing, including steering wheel locking. i thought i had raned over something, but the car went back to normal. now every two weeks after i get on the freeway this seems to happen, one time it sounded like my engine fell off. sometimes is worse than others and it doesn't matter if i'm going 25 or 65 mph. a few months ago i ...

Complaint - electronic stability control, steering, vehicle speed control while driving my 2002 toyota sequoia while turning on city street & highway i encountered two significant safety issues the traction control system comes on while driving at various speeds, the vsc and traction warning lights abs & engine lights are illuminated as the vehicle pulled to the left/right. when the issue occurred, the vehicle makes a grinding sound and pulls very hard to the left/right. the vehicle loses acceleration and feels like the anti-lock braking mechanism is being engaged. the jerking pull resulted in crossing multiple lanes of the highway before control of the vehicle was regained. this is going to cause deaths known issues with other sequoias. *tr

When driving 70 mph on the interstate, the vehicle periodically yanks hard to the right, it sounds like i have a flat tire, front right tire feels and sounds like it stopped turning. car slows, vsc system idiot lights flash and beep. after i have successfully though unintentionally run another car off the road it returns to normal. the idiot lights stay on until the car is turned off. has been taken to mechanics numerous times in last few weeks, cannot find a problem. but keeps happening. mechanic is aware of 2003 and newer recall for the same reason, tried recalibrating yaw sensor successfully. 3 days later it happened again mechanics says the sensor may be periodically malfunctioning, over correcting for a nonexistent problem. it has happened going 30 mph once, as well as today the lights and beeping went off at a dead stop in my driveway. went straight to mechanics, turned off car to go inside, nothing found when he pulled it in

While driving my 2002 toyota sequoia, i encountered two significant safety issues that were recalled as part of a prior nhsta campaign (10v-176). while my toyota is manufactured within the same window of a recall, my vin was not included. nhsta has opened an active investigation (pe16006) in response to other owners with the same issues. issue #1: traction control system on several occasions, the vehicle would not accelerate properly from a stopped position. the code based on the vcs warning light indicated an issue with the center position of the steering angle sensor (sas). the sensor was replaced and the ecu programming was updated to resolve the safety issue. issue #2: electronic stability control on multiple occasions, the vehicle lost control while driving due to an issue with a faulty yaw rate sensor. while driving at various speeds, the vsc and traction warning lights illuminated as the vehicle pulled to the right. when the issue occurred, the vehicle makes a grinding sound and pulls very hard to the right. the vehicle loses acceleration and feels like the anti-lock braking mechanism is being engaged. ...

Vse/trac light and trac off light comes on, beeping sound. traveling at 70 mph or 65 mph vehicle veers left and steering becomes difficult. just this happened three times within 24 hours on interstate driving. this is the same problem discussed in a recall of the 2003 through 2005 models. many problems of the same nature are reported on internet forums for the 2000 t-model. this is very dangerous. it happens when the road conditions are dry and no hazardous conditions.

Power steering fluid was leaking.
