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.
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
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.
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 .
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. ...
Vehicle has 40k miles tires are worn tread 2/32 already, and front rotors had to be completely replaced. back at 25k miles, front rotors had to be resurfaced, and now at 40k miles, new rotors and pads had to be placed.

While executing a slow speed left turn(10-15mph) i braked lightly to execute another left turn when the parking brake and traction control lights lit up on my dashboard along with diminished brake power and a grinding noise. i applied them again a little more aggressive to stop my vehicle..same response. i coasted to about 2-3mph and the lights were still showing but i recovered brake power. at my destination(3 blocks away) i turned off the vehicle. on my return trip back home, there was no sign of dash warning lights and i had full braking power. @home i immediately called toyota usa and they did not acknowledge any ongoing problem. after going on an online forum i discovered numerous complaints about the same problem...some of them actually going to toyota for the problem, and some of those stated the problem returned..my son ran an obdii diagnostic to find numerous codes for the abs ans ecu and brakebooster system.fixes range from low brake fluid to a complete replacement of said systems costing thousands of dollrs. i feel this is a serious safety issue that toyota should address. [dateline problem happened 6-27-19...]i have no choice now but to warily trust toyota to ...
When backing up or sometimes slowing down moving forward the vcs lights all come on and the brakes automatically engage (quickly and with a grinding sound) and the car moves to the right and stops abruptly.
