Complaint - electronic stability control, steering, vehicle speed control while driving my 2002 toyota sequoia while turning on city street & highway I encountered two significant safety issues the traction control system comes on while driving at various speeds, the vsc and traction warning lights ABS & engine lights are illuminated as the vehicle pulled to the left/right. When the issue occurred, the vehicle makes a grinding sound and pulls very hard to the left/right. The vehicle loses acceleration and feels like the anti-lock braking mechanism is being engaged. The jerking pull resulted in crossing multiple lanes of the highway before control of the vehicle was regained. This is going to cause deaths known issues with other sequoias.

I bought this vehicle last week and after being on the road for approximately 30 minutes, the vehicle jerks to the right, the anti skid light starts beeping, something starts grinding under the hood, and then it all stops and the vsc trac, vsc off, and check engine lights all come on. After pulling over and turning off the engine and turning it back on, the vsc lights went off, but the check engine light remained on. After getting back on the road, the same thing happened again in a matter of minutes. Since then, the vehicle does the same exact thing every time I drive for more than about 20 minutes. Sometimes the transition is smooth and sometimes it takes up to 20-25 seconds for the noise under the hood to go away.

Traction system intermittently turns on with no pattern-wet or dry surface, speed, turning. Have had all oxygen sensors replaced, check engine light resolved but traction still engages, seizes the engine. Evap. System fixed, tires, wheel bearings checked, thermostat fixed. Still traction is kicking on. Extremely dangerous for me and my three young children. I am afraid to drive, even around town. Toyota what are you going to do about this and all the other similar complaints on 2002 sequoias. Do you need a fatality on record prior to acting? How am I supposed to get to work to pay for repairs? How will my children get to school and daycare? Please help.

I had this vehicle serviced at tom scott toyota in nampa, idaho. The standard 120k. Prior to this I had them do some basic services, and they seemed to always make mistakes. Once their mechanics sent me out on the road without replacing the correct amount of motor oil. In this instance they had serviced my transmission fluids, and all other 120k requirements. I drove away and the engine light came on immediately. I returned they said it was a transmission solenoid. They reset it, it was running fine. Then the light came on again. They claimed it needed the solenoid replaced. After a week the light went off and did not return. 2 days ago, the vsc off, vsc trac, and check engine lights all came on. There is a crinkly noise, like foil crinkling when I accelerate. This is intermittent. I took it to a mechanic they said the entire transmission is bad. $4000. There are enough forums and posts worldwide for this transmission that you should require a recall. Clearly toyota manufactured a transmission that is not built correctly.

The issues with toyota hasn't just started with the 2009/2010 acceleration problems. At least for the last ten years owners have complained about toyota's vehicles and I have 1 complaint to post. We have a 2002 sequoia with 122k miles. Our transmission went costing us approx. $4600.00. We maintenance this truck religiously. I have been researching this issue online and found others having the same issue as me(some with only 70k miles, I guess we were luckily). Now this truck cost between 42k to 50k or so and 8 years later I am changing the freakin trans. How the heck(used lightly), does toyota or any other auto maker get away with this stuff? I also have been researching to see how we could get toyota held responsible for this piece of [xxx] trans. I had a chevy cavalier in the 90's cost around 9k .never had 1 issue with it engine, engine light, transmission..nothing. I will continue to research and blog here until I am satisfied with an response from the ceo. If everyone who has the same problem complains and scream loud enough this issue would have been recalled. If you want to discuss further please contact me.
