| While the vehicle was traveling at about 40 mph it suddenly loses engine power and the vehicle becomes hard to steer. both the vsc off and trac off lights came on. i had to pull to the side and the car died completely. i turned off the car but could not turn it on immediately. i waited for about 5 minutes and tried again and it started up fine, but after i drove for less than half mile the same issue happened again. it happened a total of 6 times within a couple of miles. since then it's been happening every few days. took it to my mechanic but they could not pull a code. searching online it seems this is a common problem that happened to many 1st generation sequoias. *tr | |||

| When driving conditions are dry, warm weather, i make a turn from a complete stop and the vehicle stability control (skid control) light starts blinking and acceleration is diminished significantly. the vehicle bogs down and i can not accelerate and almost get hit from the oncoming traffic. i have taking it to the dealer several times and for some reason, they cannot replicate it. my vehicle has 65000 miles on it now and it is happening more frequently. unfortunately, the warranty has expired. but, this is a serious flaw in the design of the stability system. it happens on a daily basis. please help in forcing a recall. | |||

| I own a 2007 sequoia and a few months ago on random occasions while taking a right turn my vsc (vehicle stability control) light would turn on and the gas pedal would no longer supply gas to the engine. this is very dangerous especially if i am turning in to on-coming traffic with my entire family in the car. the cars coming up behind me often must slow down quickly to avoid rear ending me. my mechanic (not from a toyota dealer) informed me that he had several customers who had come in with the same complaint. i contacted toyota only for them to tell me that since it wasn't a recall there was nothing they would do. i searched the internet and have found a large number of folks with the same situation. please do something about this before something very bad happens. thank you. | |||

| Seems there is a common problem when searched on toyota sequoias and tundras from 02 to 07 vsc trac off and ecu replacement which is to do with skid control and can cause death and injury if it fails. apparently i am finding out that thousands have registered with this site and no toyota recall has been issued and the company doesn't want to recall because it is a 2300, repair. the computer chip is the problem and it goes bad that soon? wow toyota is just turning the us government and people around and screwing them silly and laughing all the way to the bank. please do something! it is a family car that is going to make the american families that buy it homeless with that kind of repair. | |||
