2002 Toyota Sequoia wheels problems

Filed Jun 18, 2024 · Brakes, Driver assistance · FL

My vehicle has randomly been flashing vbs/abs/traction control lights. Sometimes nothing happens other than the flashing lights. Other times I’ll be driving & when going around a curve my car makes a beeping noise (sounds like the abs noise activated) & I’ll feel a pulsing under the brake & hear a grinding sound. It doesn’t allow me to brake effectively. Another time I was coming to a stop behind a car at a red light. It was clear as day, roads weren’t wet & I couldn’t have been going over 10 mph. When hitting my brakes, my steering wheel kind of glided back & forth for a sec and it felt like my tires “floated”in the same motion as wheel until it stopped.

While driving on a curved road, the vehicle made a grinding sound with flashing VSC off and Trac off lights, as it pulled violently to the right and almost ran off the road with my two children in the back seat. This was an extremely scary incident. I do understand that many first generation Sequoia owners have reported similar incidents and that there were no recalls, however, I think this is a serious enough issue that will cost innocent people their lives. I was able to pull a reading from the OBD2 and it says there is a fault with the Yaw Rate Sensor. Please help before this causes someone's death.

At 247,000 plus miles the ABS system would suddenly engage going around sharper curves on the highway at 65+ MPH. Recently the ABS system engaged at 32 MPH around a sharper curve on a mountain road. I brought it into the dealer in august 2019. As of february 2020 it is still not fixed, despite spending a lot of money. Besides being nerve wracking, it is a potentially hazardous problem, especially in snow and ice, that should qualify for a recall.

The skid control lights come on for no reason the whole car shakes and there is a thumping and grinding noise from the vehicle along with the beeping warning sound. It happens at different speeds sometimes when breaking or turning and losing power. This last a few seconds then the vsc light comes on and the vsc off light and all is ok while lights are on.

The vsc lights come on when driving, the rear differential seal was completely rusted through and should be on a recall, the frame was on recall and replaced in 2014, but the rear seals were rusted thru and toyota after costing me thousands does not want to cover rear seals why ? Right after the frame was replaced and the toyota dealer in deerfield beach, fl said the rear differential is also way rusted out and may blow the seals, well they did during a oil change and check. If toyota knew of the extreme rust on the frame that it was also on the rear differential as confirmed by 3 different mechanics one being toyota. Toyota wants me to pay $2,000.00 to fix which is outrageous.

Since the date indicated (nov.29,2013) the track off lights and system in my sequoia gets activated without road conditions which justify it.I felt a strong noise and lost power and had a dangerous situation because of the sudden stop or loss of acceleration. Took it to toyota and told sensors and computer needed to be replaced at great cost , but with no guarantee of definite solution.I believe this is a safety issue involving anti- skid and track system which need to be attended to promptly.can you help?

Vehicle vsc and trac is auto-engaging during a drive without cause. The vehicle will jerk to a side, and a grinding noise will occur until the vehicle comes to a stop. Braking is slow and takes much longer to stop the vehicle. Electronic beeping is also heard throughout. Vsc and trac lights come on and stay on after the incident until the vehicle is turned off.

During rush hour, a vehicle before me abruptly stopped. To avoid from hitting them I swerved to the left hitting a wall divider when the front left wheel caved in having me and my family swerve all the way to the right into another sound wall. What I tried to do was hit the brake before going head on into the wall but the gas pedal was stuck causing us to accelerate into the wall. Luckily there were shrubs and bushes to help the car go into a slow as we slid across the wall. I dont know why the gas pedal decide to get stuck and accelerate us into the wall but im hearing from other sequoia owners that they have had the same problem with their pedals and that needs to be checked out as soon as possible.
