| Description of the problem | I noticed the vsc trac lights stayed on. The vehicle appears to drive fine for a while, then loses power. Dealer could not find any codes and reset it. How it does it all the time mostly about the 2 or 3 day after unhooking the battery. After 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. They recalled the 2003, what about us, a friend had a new computer epu put in at $3000 and did it again in 6 months... Toyota knows about this and other problems... We need a recall or have it fixed. |
