| 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 | |||

| Was accelerating onto the freeway today and it felt as if the left brakes came on along with a screeching sound and it made me swerve left. i was able to avoid swerving into merging traffic but i nearly crashed. over the last week the vsc off lights have started going on and off and and after reviewing some literature on line it seems that hundreds of others have had the same type of problem. the 2003 sequoia was actually recalled for this same thing. very dangerous and now i will have to contact the dealer to see about it getting fixed before someone is killed. i have two young children and this really pisses me off. even if there is not a recall i should have been made aware of the danger i was putting myself in. i have been happy with my truck for 8 years but after this incident and seeing what others have gone through i will never buy another toyota!!! | |||
