NHTSA Complaint #10892833 — 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

MY VSC OFF AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS POPPED ON SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHILE TRAVELING ON STRAIGHT, PAVED HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS NOT BRAKING WHEN ALL LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED. I WAS CRUISING COMFORTABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON STRAIGHT, FLAT, PAVED ROAD. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED BY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED THIS CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS AS THIS SYSTEM CANNOT BE DISABLED. SO, THESE LIGHTS MAY POP ON AND OFF, AND THE VSC SYSTEM MAY SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONTROL, AND THIS CAN GREATLY AFFECT ACCELERATION AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING OPERATIONALLY TO CAUSE THESE LIGHTS TO COME ON AND I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH COULD HAVE VERY STRONG SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.
