| ****note: regarding a 2002 toyota sequoia since this is not an option i chose tundra because this is the closest to the sequoia size. the vsc trac-off system turns on when driving on straight, dry freeway. the truck lost speed and it started moving to next lane. i lost control of the steering. i thought that i was going to crash. i took it in and i was told that the computer needs to be replaced. i am afraid to drive my truck again. i am afraid that next time that happens on the busy los angeles freeway, i could be the victim of a terrible tragedy caused by the vsc malfunction.*ak | |||

| Regarding 2002 seqouia. since seqouia not an option, chose tundra as it was closest to vehicle type. driving on freeway at speed limit, then car felt as if veering off to the left, it was hard keeping steering wheel straight and then i noticed that the trac off and vsc lights went on. it was a clear day, fairly smooth surface in the center lane, when this incident occurred. had to pull of freeway and turn off vehicle and then restart to reset the car. this is the only way the lights will turn off and the car will steer normally. this is not the first time it has happened, this has happened a several times in the past few months.*ak | |||

| Dt: contact states water enters the water tight joints in the wiring harness. this causes the pins to corrode and shorts out the rear tail light. the vehicle has been to dealership, but the vehicle is no longer under warranty and there have been no repairs made. *ak updated 1/11/2006. *nm | |||
