NHTSA Complaint #10327932 — 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

I NOTED TODAY THE RECALL OF 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA'S DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE VSC SYSTEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2002 MODELS AS I HAVE HAD RECURRING ISSUES WITH THE VSC SINCE DAY 1. AT LOW SPEED, PARTICULARLY ON GRADES OR WHILE MAKING SHARP TURNS, THE VSC WILL CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO TEMPORARILY LOSE POWER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASION BOTH TO TOYOTA AND VIA TELEPHONE. IT IS SO BAD THAT I NOW KNOW LOCATIONS ON MY REGULAR DRIVES DURING WHICH THIS WILL OCCUR. SO, I EITHER GO A LITTLE FASTER THAN I MIGHT OTHERWISE ON GRADES OR I SWERVE OUT BEFORE MAKING TURNS TO MAKE THE ANGLE LESS ACUTE. OBVIOUSLY, NOT THE SAFETY WE'D EXPECT IN A $40K VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS GOING OVER SLIGHTLY JARRING BUMPS SUCH AS STEEP SPEEDBUMPS OR POTHOLES. THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY LOSES POWER, WHICH IN THIS CASE CAN BE POSSIBLY EVEN MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE ARE OFTEN BEING FOLLOWED BY OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEED. *TR
