2004 Toyota SEQUOIA Electronic Stability Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	819964
Internal NHTSA #	10358501
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	SEQUOIA
Model Year	2004
File date	23/09/10
Component	ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vsc and trac lights come on intermittently . The vehicle will also dramatically de-accelerate. There is also a smell like smoke. After shutting the vehicle off and later restarting all was ok. Toyota is very aware of this problem. Such a problem occurring especially at higher speeds could result in loss of control of vehicle leading to a serious accident with potential for numerous fatalities. Toyota had a recall for exactly the same problem on it"s 2003 model, but nothing for the 2004. Considering their most recent problems with acceleration i certainly would have expected by now that the nhtsa would have investigated and mandated that toyota correct this problem before a serious accident... Not after the fact. Again, this is a well documented fact on toyotas own website. Numerous complaints have been filed to no avail. Their refusal to recall and rectify the situation should be a wake up call to the nhtsa. If i hear nothing more on this matter, i will assume neither toyota nor the nhtsa is concerned about this potentially disastrous defect.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
