| 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 | |||

| Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota sequoia. when the vehicle would sit idle in the drive position, it would suddenly accelerate without warning. the contact would apply extreme braking pressure in order to maintain control of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealership where the drive shaft was serviced; however the failure would still occur. the contact stated that the vehicle would exhibit instances of unintended acceleration since the day of purchase. the current and failure mileages were under 54,000. | |||

| After coming to a complete stop while in drive (such as when at a stoplight), the vehicle will occasionally lunge or continue to roll forward when brake is fully depressed. this is dangerous because although you may be completely stopped at a red light for over a minute, the car may stop moving without your being aware. this has been reported all over message boards for sequoia owners and also reported to my local dealership. *tr | |||

| The vehicle lunges or rolls forward after coming to a complete stop with brakes fully depressed. this problem has been reported on numerous toyota message boards for several toyota models of varying years. this is very dangerous as the driver comes to a full stop and then the vehicle starts moving (with the brake fully depressed). *tr | |||

| Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota sequoia. the contact stated while driving at 55 mph and releasing the accelerator pedal the pedal never released. the speed of the vehicle inreased to 90 mph. the contact put the vehicle into neutral and shut the vehicle off. the contact was able to pull the vehicle off the road and check to see if the floor mat caused the vehicle to accelerate, but found that it wasn't the floor mat. the contact restarted the vehicle without any problems. the contact called the manufacturer and they informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. the dealer preformed a diagnostic test and found nothing wrong with the vehicle. the contact feels this year should be added to recall number 10v17000 regarding the sticky pedal. the failure mileage was 55,000. | |||
