TRACTION CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY KICKS IN WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. PAVEMENT IS LEVEL AND DRY AT THE TIME. LOSES ACCELERATION FOR A SECOND OR TWO. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 01/03/2020. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INCREASING.

WHEN MY FRAME WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED I STARTED HAVING MY VCS AND CHECKNENGIN3 LIGHT COME ON CONSTANTLY AND NAME THE TRUCK SHAKES AND IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN OVER SPEEDS OF 25 UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. TOOK IT TO LAWRENCE TOYOTA AND THE SAID IT WOULD COST $2175 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED IN 100 OF SEQUOIAS AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE FRAME RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ALL I WANT TOYOTA TO DO IS REPAIR MY VEHICLE AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN TAKING TURNS AT MILD ACCELERATION THE SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN FROM STOP WHILE ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET ONTO A MAIN ROAD. GENERALLY AT THE INTERSECTIONS THERE ARE A SMALL GRADE CHANGE FOR WATER DRAINAGE, THIS WILL CAUSE UNEVEN SURFACE WHEN DRIVING ACROSS AND CAUSE A MINOR ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS HAS PRODUCED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION LEAVES THE VEHICLE IN THE ONCOMING LANE LONGER THAN DESIRED AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN A SERIOUS COLLISION. I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT HAVE REFERENCES THE CAUSE BEING ASSOCIATED WITH ABS SENSOR OR YAW SENSORS. WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A SOLUTION PROVIDED.

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES..IT TAKES A WHILE TO STOP AND WHILE IN REVERSE / BACKING UP ...BRAKES SQUEEK AND SLIDES WHEN BACKING UP AND MAKES A SQUEEKING, POPPING NOISE AND IT SLIDES LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO GIVE OUT. TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE ALL VEHICLE BRAKES SQUEEK AND VERY COMMON / FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND HAD THEM INDICATE IN WRITING (A MECHANIC AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DROVE MY VEHICLE STATING YES SOMETHING WRONG W BRAKES)

THE VEHICLE VSC TRAC SYSTEM GOES ON FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION (ROADS ARE STRAIGHT, AND DRY). AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES GO INTO A LOUD GRIND MODE AND DO NOT ENGAGE, A LOUD BLARING BEEPING SOUNDS, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO VIBRATES HORRIBLY, I CAN NOT ACCELERATE AND THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT. IT IS NOT SAFE, AS I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD GOING 55 MPH ON A STRAIGHT 2 WAY ROAD WITH TRAFFIC! IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND AS FAR AS I CAN SEE IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER 2006 SEQUOIAS OWNERS YET ONLY THE 2003 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. UNACCEPTABLE!

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I DECIDED TO BRING IT IN TO GET IT CHECKED AND FIXED. MY SIGNALS FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHTS AND VSC TRACE LIGHTS ALL GO ON AT THE SAME TIME PERIODICALLY AS I AM DRIVING ANYWHERE ON THE FREEWAY OR THE STREET, AND DISAPEAR PERIODICALLY. I THOUGHT I HAD FIXED EVERYTHING WHEN THEY DIAGNOSED 5 THINGS ON MY VEHICLE THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. ONE OF THEM WAS MY MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS THAT ARE MAKING MY LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF. TO WHICH I WENT AHEAD AND LET THEM FIX IT AND MANY OTHER THINGS AND STILL IT IS NOT FIXED AND CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S MESSING WITH MY BRAKE SYSTEM.

THE TRAC OFF LIGHT AND VSC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON, ON THE DASH. WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND STALLS IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING IS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THE STOP TIME AS IT DID.

VSC TRAC ON/OFF BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEAR WHILE DRIVING IN THE 35-45MPH RANGE. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE (FIRM OR LIGHT BRAKE PRESSURE), THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AS IF IT IS ACTIVATING THE ABS, WHICH TAKES A LITTLE LONGER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF TOYOTA CREATED A VSC TRAC ON/OFF SWITCH (AT THIS RATE, I MAY HAVE TO CREATE MY OWN). SOME WEBSITES MENTION DIRTY SENSORS (SPEED SENSORS), SOME MENTION POSSIBLE FAULTY YAW RATE SENSOR (LEVEL WARNING SWITCH, LOCATED IN THE CENTER CONSOLE), STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MAY NEED ADJUSTING. WHO KNOWS, BUT THIS WOULD BE A DEFINITE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'M SURPRISED THIS HASN'T BEEN CONSIDERED A RECALL? HTTP://WW2.JUSTANSWER.COM/UPLOADS/TS/TSMODIE/2012-10-29_191900_1.GIF

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WITH 83,900 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE VSC TRAC SYSTEM GOES ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES GO INTO GRIND MODE AND DO NOT ENGAGE. I HAVE NARROWLY MISSED HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS AS A RESULT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BRAKE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN, BUT NOT UNDER RECALL OR COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER AS THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY AND LIABILITY ISSUE. I NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS WITH TOYOTA.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE VETERANS HIGHWAY IN TAMPA, IT BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE VEHICLES TRAC OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS BRAKING BY ITSELF. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE SEQUOIA BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY.

JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER 2006 SEQUOIA AT 80K MILES THE YELLOW ABS, YELLOW VSC OFF, YELLOW VSC TRAC , AND RED BRAKE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON CAUSING IT TO FAIL THE MA STATE INSPECTION. DISASSEMBLED P/N 44050-0C100 AND THE BRUSHES IN THE ABS PUMP MOTOR (ATE 25.0206-0206.3) ARE COMPLETELY GONE.

AFTER A STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD CATCHING UP TO THE THROTTLE POSITION ONCE THE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CLEARS (AFTER A FEW SECONDS). THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN 4HI. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AS VEHICLE STUTTERS OR DELAYS THE TURN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC OFF LIGHT, AND VSC TRAC LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT ONCE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND I EXPERIENCED A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN VEHICLE POWER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME NOTICING A DRASTIC CHANGE IN ACCELERATION AS THE SEQUOIA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY; IT WOULD ACCELERATE AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED RATE, TOPPING OUT AT 35MPH ON THE FLATS AND 16 MPH ON AN INCLINE, IN ADDITION, DURING START UP, THE ENGINE MAKES A HIGH-PITCH VACUUM NOISE, WHICH DROPS OFF AND NORMAL ENGINE SOUND RETURNS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED; ERROR CODES P2440, P441 AND P444 ARE ALL PRESENT INDICATING A FAILURE OF THE AIR INJECTION PUMP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TOYOTA SEQUOIAS AND TUNDRAS; HOWEVER, TOYOTA HAS ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT ON THE 07-10 SEQUOIA BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND 150,000K MILES FOR THIS PART. IT IS CLEAR FROM OTHER POSTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHERS THAT THIS PROBLEM ALSO EXISTS WITH THE 2004-07 SEQUOIAS AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED, OR WORSE YET KILLED.

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS AND MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP WITH NOTHING RESOLVED. ABS ACTIVATES WITH VSC LIGHTS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, DRIVING SLOWLY DOWN ROAD, ETC... NO REASON I CAN THINK OF FOR IT TO ENGAGE. VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND FEELS LIKE IT WON'T STOP. VERY COMMON ISSUE FROM WHAT I SEE ALREADY REPORTED. YAW SENSOR REPLACED TO FIX ANOTHER VSC ISSUE WHEN MAKING LEFT U-TURNS...ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES KEPT ME FROM COMPLETING A U-TURN WITH TRAFFIC COMING...LUCKILY I CONTINUED INTO DRIVEWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE ABOVE BUT THE ABOVE STILL CONTINUE TO THIS DAY SO IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE.

WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT SLOW SPEED, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS, SOMETIMES WITH BEEP ALARM AND SOMETIMES ENGAGES THE ABS SYSTEM. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE SINCE YOU LOSE CONTROL OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS.

BRAKES FAIL ON OCCASION AND VSC LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN SEEM TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A COMMON ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2006 SEQUOIA BASED ON PREVIOUS POSTS. TAKEN TO DEALER ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM. TODAY 5/23 DEALER STATED ITS A VACUUM AND REPAIR PART IS APPROX. $1000. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER WITH SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. AT LEAST TWELVE COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FILED.

AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE VEHICLE, I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN BEFORE ENTERING THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SO HARD TO DEPRESS THAT I ALMOST HAD TO STAND ON IT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP, AND NEARLY WAS UNABLE TO BEFORE PLOWING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE "TRAC OFF", "VSC TRAC", AND BRAKE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. IT WAS A REAL PANIC SITUATION BECAUSE IT WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED AND MY WIFE AND 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. I AM AN 20 YEAR + ASE MASTER AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN WITH OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND VISUALLY CHECKED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AS WELL AS I COULD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW NO OBVIOUS CAUSE FOR THE ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET THE WARNING LIGHTS OFF AND THE BRAKES TO WORK WAS TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE IGNITION. AFTER THAT, THE VEHICLE WENT THE REST OF THE DAY (140 MILES) WITH NO PROBLEM. I AM NOW AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE AND KIDS DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I DO SEE WHERE THERE ARE A FEW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND A COUPLE THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL TO MINE. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY 52,000+ MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OF KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE SOME KIND OF SAFETY RECALL ISSUED.
