Consumer Description

OWNER OF 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA THAT INFREQUENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WHERE OUT OF NOWHERE THE VSC DEVICE ACTIVATES. THE VEHICLES FRONT LEFT WHEEL STARTS TO GRIND AND YOU CAN HEAR THE DEVICE GOING FRANTICALLY UNTIL IT STOPS ON ITS OWN. NORMALLY IT IS BRIEF AND THE 'VSC OFF' LIGHT COMES ON, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED CAUSING DISTRESSING SITUATION. TOYOTA DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE CONTROL MODULE, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND AN OBVIOUS CAUSE. THEY CLEANED THE SENSORS AT THE WHEELS AND WHERE THE CONNECTION HOOKS TO THE DASHBOARD FOR VSC OFF BUTTON. I WROTE TOYOTA IN HOPES THAT THEY WOULD OFFER ASSISTANCE, BUT THEY RESPONDED WITH THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY AND THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. *TR
