My vsc trac, vsc ff and ABS light come on. This problem seem to happen on most of the sequoia. The dealer told me it the rate sensor need to be replaced.
2006 Toyota Sequoia acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Abs vsc and brake light comes on sitting still. . And at 30 MPH ABS system engages for no reason and no traction issues.
I have a 2006 toyota sequoia. The vsc & trac lights as well as the brake light and the tire pressure light started coming on in the morning, usually when cold. Not sure exactly when this started but it has been happening for years now. The lights usually go off when the engine is shut off and usually the only time it is an issue is when the weather gets the slightest bit cool. After researching this issue online, I am seeing that this appears to be a very common problem and apparently there have been some brake related issues (vehicle not braking properly) also associated with these lights, although there has not been a recall to date.
On two different occasions, while pulling into traffic from a stop, at less than 10 MPH, the car lost power, the gas pedal was non-responsive, and the car seemed to brake for a few seconds resulting in my temporary loss of control of the vehicle. The vsc light on the dashboard flashed several times. After a few seconds, power to the vehicle returned.
Vsc trac/vsc off, brake warning lights go on all at once. I have a 2006 toyota sequoia.
Vehicle pulls forward when AC is turn on while car is idle with foot on brake pedal.
2006 toyota sequoia has experienced intermittent electrical problems since purchase. On 30 july 09 vehicle experienced multiple computer failure of ecu, vsc, and other computers. Toyota tech reps say vehicle could not have caused problem, therefore it must be an "external' fault. However, there is absolutely no evidence of any external arcing or other power surge indicative of an "external" event. Toyota refuses to admit potential of a latent defect and says incident must be referred for insurance. Toyota will not address logical questions as to why other (non-protected systems such as the radio) in the vehicle still function in light of the alleged "external event." additionally, there were no circuit breaker or fuses blown, so again how is it possible for the "external event" theory to be valid? Given the anecdotal evidence on the web concerning sequoia ecus and vsc computers, what action can the federal safety agency take to have the manufacturer address the problems?
Uncontrolled acceleration when using the resume feature in the cruise control.
Unexplained acceleration at slow speed. Once when trying to park, vehicle accelerated and went over curb and into ditch. Another time when starting out from a stop sign. Took to dealer and they could not find any problems with vehicle.
When the vehicle has stopped, it can surge forward a bit. Feels like the vehicle behind me has rear ended me. The force of this seems to vary a bit.
