The traction control / vehicle stability control initiates at very low speeds on dry and very stable surfaces nearly every turn I make. The loss of power to the wheels have left me stranded in front of on-coming traffic during left turns and nearly rear-ended on right hand turns. It appears the 2003 toyota sequoia's have been recalled for a similar problem: overly aggressive traction control when the vehicle loses power to the wheels it takes 4-5 seconds for the power to be restored and I have had several close calls with respect to being hit by other vehicles.
