Consumer Description

MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED IT'S BRAKES AND VEERED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. THE VSC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS EVENT REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET HOME. IT ALMOST FORCED ME OFF THE ROAD. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE LEFT LANE, I WOULD HAVE HIT ANY CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE OR IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER AT THE TIME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THE CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID ME. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA IN MULTIPLE YEARS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EARLY 2003 MODELS. TOYOTA SERVICE SAYS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE YAW SENSOR AND AN $800 REPAIR.
