When i start the vehicle the trac off and vsc trac light is illuminated on the dash. after driving a short time the vehicle beeps and goes into a skip and breaks to one side. it corrects itself in a second. sometimes it beeps and no skid. this started a year ago. frequency was a few times a year then. now it happens several times a week. i believe toyota addressed the issue on 2003's, but not 2002's. most of time the vehicle is on city streets when this happens and it is more likely to happen after driving a few minutes. it always happens when i am driving straight.
Trac off vsc trac off lights illuminate. seems to be faulty sensor. brake light periodically comes on with no issue with brakes. brakes have been replaced and everything checked. on 2 occasions when the brake light is on, the antiskid control activates when the car is going less than 30 mph slowing down for a turn. the car is hard to control and shakes. after the car is turned off for awhile the brake light does not illuminate the next time you drive but will come back on randomly. trac off and vsc trac lights illuminate are on.
On multiple occasions recently while driving on the highway in a straight line manner, the rear brakes either the left or right have automatically engaged causing my sequioa to jerk to the left or right while at highway speed. my vehicle jerks violently, a buzzer sounds, and the vsc and trac lights illuminate and remain illuminated. if those lights are illuminated it no longer does this; however, if the lights are not illuminated it's a coin flip whether being jerked to the left or right while driving in a straight line on the highway. toyota dealership doesn't know what problem is. apparently it could be a dozen different things and they have to start replacing each one at a time to see if the problem goes away. to replace everything is several thousand dollars, probably more than the book value of the vehicle.
I forgot to mention in complaint 11282925 that some of the dozen parts needed to fix the vsc problem have been discontinued by toyota. so i could pay the dealership thousands to replace some of the possible culprits but the real problem could be the items that toyota discontinued. toyota cannot isolate what the exact problem is and has to replace possible culprits to see it it fixes the problem. after all of this and a huge repair bill could still have the highway safety problem if the faulty part(s) are the ones that have been discontinued. replacing items one at a time and then driving it on the highway to see if it's safe is not a good strategy. toyota should recall and fix all items at the same time and also produce the parts they have discontinued as a way to possibly try to cover up their negligence.
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.
During driving on freeway with clean dry road car has beeping alarm on, vsc traction light on and svc lights lit up while the car shakes line the brake is on by itself for short period (3 seconds). then both warning light vsc and off and vsc track light is on still until the engine is turned off an hour afterward. the next day i drove the car slowly on a local street after picking up my son after school, the brake started shaking the car and vsc off and vsc track lights are on again. i drive the car with caution everytime after that but the occurance doesn't happen every time nor being recreate. it happened every few thousand miles unexpectedly. this is very dangerous . i would like to find a fix by the manufacturer and have them pay for it. it seems like this is a problem for many same cars .
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 ...
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. ...
The vsc and trac off light comes on when driving. there is a sound when i hit a pot hole or hit the brakes. the vehicle is then a little unstable.this happens on the street and the interstate. when i hit the brake there is a loud sound and then the vsc and trac off light comes on.this is scary. this have been happening for the last two weeks on and off.this has been happening when driving slow at 10 mph or 60mph.
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).
