I was on the freeway and started to change lanes, when I saw a damaged area on the freeway drove over it and the light for trac control light, vsc light, and ABS light were all on. Then I exited to check for any visible problems nothing that I could notice. So I stated to research about this and found forums to see what I can find out. This is a big problem from what I see. Do your part to get things done with this dangerous problems.

The vsc and trac lights started coming after a clucking sound heard from underneath the car followed by a loss of power. After turning the car off and back on again it goes away. But it comes back intermittently. The problem needs to be fixed. I am concerned about the safety of my family as we will need to go on a long family trip in a few weeks. Please help.

I was driving and all of a sudden my check engine, vsc off, and the vsc trac lights came on and they won't turn off. Took it in to toyota dealer service the following date and they said it was an intermittent problem with the ecu and skid ecu computer board and that it may fix it? Is there a recall on this issue would like to know.

The ABS actuator on my 2003 toyota sequoia sr5 caught fire as I was driving home. The first sign of trouble was when I pulled out of a parking spot and switched from reverse to drive and was temporarily unable to accelerate. The brake pedal also shuddered before I regained acceleration. One mile down the road, at a speed of approx. 30 MPH, 3 warning lights on the dash illuminated (vsc light, ABS light, brake light) followed by the brake pedal going all the way to the floor by itself. Luckily, I wasn't rear-ended, but by this time, smoke was coming from under the hood. Upon further inspection, I could see flames coming from the actuator assembly. The fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was deemed a total loss due to the damage to the actuator assembly, wire harness, wiper motor and hood.

This occurred approximately april 2010, upon receiving a recall notice from toyota on brakes, I took the vehicle into the toyota dealership. They fixed the recall notice and I ended up having to pay for a test to find out what was causing the vsc light to come on. The dealership said that there was nothing that they could do for me except replace the yaw sensor for almost $800 dollars. This was the sensor for $685 and then the labor. To this date (07/14/2013) toyota has done nothing to fix the issue. I have read numerous issues with this item. I guess it will take someone else being killed for them to get their act together and fix it.

While driving down a familiar two lane road with many curves and not reaching a speed above 45 MPH, I came upon a curve, braked, and steered my sequoia appropriately. I was driving on the outside of the curve, but when I tried to turn with the curve, my sequoia headed toward the oncoming lane of traffic. As it veered toward the fence posts on the other side of the road, I could not slow it down or steer it back to my lane. No matter how I pressed the brakes, it would not slow down but instead sped up. The last I remember is the realization that I could do nothing to stop or steer my sequoia. I rolled it 3 1/2 times (through the fence and then back through it again in another spot). Many thanks to god, my 3 year old made it out with but one small scratch on his arm and a huge fear. However, it took them 1 1/2 hours to get me out and then I had to be care-flighted due to facial injuries, head trauma, and disfigured left arm. Although my sequoia was supposed to be equipped with side impact airbags along with front airbags not a single airbag deployed. I know certain sensors have to be activated to inflate an airbag so I feel I need to mention that this vehicle no longer resembled a sequoia. No headlights remained, all windows were gone, the dash, hood and roof collapsed in on me. It took me five weeks to get behind the wheel again after feeling such helplessness. Last week I received a post card about toyota recalls that involved my sequoia so I decided to look it up. I got very sick reading the recalls and investigations that are related to what I experienced. It is very upsetting that I trusted toyota for my family and that the accident could have been prevented.
