| Description of the problem | My 2005 sequoia has the vsc off and vsc trac lights on and it causes a hesitation in acceleration - which is a significant crash hazard. I notified toyota about this and asked if they would fix it because they recalled other years of sequoias for the same problem. Toyota will not fix it and said that the 2005 has different parts than the years that they recalled. That is silly because the problem is there even if the parts are different. The hatchback latch has also broke and the hatchback will not open. I looked online and saw that this is another well known problem with 2005 sequoias that toyota refuses to fix despite the dangers if there were a crash and somebody needed to exit from the hatch area. |
