The frame is rusted so bad chucks of the frame are falling out causing problems to sway bar, the motor was basically laying side ways towards the driver side front panel. I have seven children we depended on this vehicle to get us everywhere we needed to be. Now its sitting on the side of the road bc when the chuck of frame fell out it caused sway bar to drop down causing me to almost wreck with my children in the SUV . I was driving down ky 344 vanceburh ky, 41179 at approximately 10:00 a.m traveling towards route 57 tollesboro ky 41189

An individual in oklahoma is trying to sell this vehicle with a rolled back odometer. I'm not sure if they are knowingly doing it but they are selling it as having 130000 miles when the last reported was 283000

In certain instances, the vehicle does not respond to acceleration for few seconds. The problem started around 70k miles. Toyota dealer has check the vehicle and said that the problem is the ecu computer and the estimated cost is about $3,000.oo dollars with only 3 month warranty. The mechanic explained that the vehicle would be able to brake but non of the features above will be functioning. The mechanic also stated that this is very common problem with sequoia models but there is no recall or warranty for this problem at the time it was diagnosed. Since the repair for our SUV is not affordable for us and there is so much uncertainty in its safety, we use it in a limited basis.

Vehicle makes a sputtering noise at acceleration and coasting speed. Even at stop. Sounds like a misfire and thud at some points. Causes a loss in power and jerk.

Horrible squealing noise at start up. Engine almost has a burst of roar for a few seconds then dies down and belt quiets after a few minutes.

At stop and starting to accelerate vehicle hesitates while trying to go into intersection. Stalls for a few seconds vsc light comes on and once system gains control it lets me actually accelerate and proceed. Dangerous due to oncoming traffic and the hesitation time of not knowing how long until I regain control.

I was driving when the vehicle made crunch noise the vsc track light came on pulled to the right. I was told some of the sequoia was recalled for problem but not this vehicle. I don't understand why they would recall the april 2002 for this problem but not the jan 2002 .I believe this vehicle is very unsafe and should be covered by toyota recall. *ln updated 1/6/2013

My 2002 sequoia keeps making a grinding noise when I hit the gas from a stop light and the stability control keeps coming on and there is a loss of power and I cant do nothing until he stability control quits what its doing. Point blank toyota needs to do something with all these 2002 sequoias and there failing traction control system. There are peoples lives at stake and I've done had all the wheel sensors cleaned and the system reset and the problem is still there. What if it was your kids that had to drive an uncontrollable vehicle you would do everything you could to see what the problem was or if it can be fixed. Were spending lots of money fixing these sequoias and it needs to stop. All im asking is please just to consider recalling these dangerous vehicles.
