| Description of the problem | I started my car and drove off, and i noticed the vsc trac lights stayed on. The vehicle appears to drive fine, but the vsc trac lights stayed on. Upon doing my own research online i discovered that many sequoia owners have experienced the same issue, but toyota has refused to do a recall. This issue with vsc trac is a huge safety concern. Through my research i discovered that the vehicle could lose power at any time, and many owners state they hear a grinding noise as the vehicle pulls to the right or left. |
