| 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 | |||

| I have 2007 toyota seguoia, in the last 2 months i, as well as my friends, have noticed a very strong odor of exaust fumes accumulating in the cabin of my suv when: -accelerating to pass -decelerating from passing -stronger when a/c on and in recirculate mode -also when just regular a/c on the fumes have caused my friends to become ill with nausea, headaches, and sleepiness. the fumes have caused me to become very sleepy when travelilng, and my friends say my thinking is off in last couple of months. i took to local toyota dealership, and they told me that they did not notice it? then told me they would not investigate it further because no notice was out? my suv has 24k miles on it, i have owned it for one year. this is a severe passenger safety issue, it is going to cause someone to fall asleep at the wheel, and kill someone else or self. it is also danger to passengers in car in multiple avenues. i think this needs to be investigated asap! thanks! *tr | |||
