I was coming off the highway goi g down the off ramp at a rate of speed in line with the speed limit, and the vsc/abs/brake lights all came on. The truck started making a grinding noise and was difficult to control. I pulled over and checked underneath. Everything was fine and there was no sign of an issue. I turned the truck off and on, and all the lights cleared; however, the lights turn on again when the vehicle is cold. Once it warms up, and you turn the car on and off, the clear. No codes on the scanner. Forums say this happens regularly with this make, model and year, but no one is sure what it is. Everything from emissions, to the brake sensor to the yaw rate sensor.
I have changed tires 2 times but I did not know that my sequoia has a recalled from the suspension and it seems to me that all the suspension is out eventhough that I replaced the struts upper and lower balljoint side arm rod tide even the racquet pinion may be out please help with the nesessary repair driving it like that I’m putting my family at having a accident cause the tire do not wear properly sincerely Joseluis saldana
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2015, I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 37 TOWARD CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, AND OUT OF THE BLUE MY WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE HAD A HARD SHAKE/SHIMMY IN THE REAR END. IT ROCKED MY REAREND LEFT TO RIGHT. VERY SCARY. LUCKILY I HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL. THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR WENT OFF. I BRAKED, THINKING MAYBE I HAD HAD A TIRE GO FLAT QUICKLY. VERY SCARY AT 75 MPH. ALSO VERY LUCKY THAT NOT SEMI'S OR VEHICLES WERE NEAR ME. I TURNED THE SEQUOIA OFF AND GOT OUT TO CHECK THE TIRES. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I GOT BACK IN AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS HAD GONE OFF, SO I STARTED TO ACCELERATE BACK INTO TRAFFIC...AND THE SEQUOIA WENT CRAZY AGAIN, REAR END SHAKING, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS GOING OFF. IT WAS 8 PM, DARK. I WAS TOO SCARED TO TRY DRIVING AGAIN, SO I CALLED...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V148000 (TIRES). FOR YEARS, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THAT RECALL WOULD BE PERFORMED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.
DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND DRIVERS SIDE FRONT END DROPPED; THE VEHICLE JUST SEIZED. THE BALL JOINT SNAPPED AND THE TIRE BUCKLED ON THE VEHICLE THERE WAS NO BRAKES OR STEERING. FORTUNATELY I HAD JUST EXITED A MAJOR HIGHWAY ONTO A STRAIGHT SECONDARY ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I FEEL IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT; WHICH WOULD HAVE INCLUDED MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL.. *TR
LAST YEAR MY CAR WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 50 MPH JUST COLLAPSED. MY BALL JOINTS FELL COMPLETELY OFF. MY THE GRACE OF GOD I WASN'T KILLED BECAUSE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE SINCE HAD IT REPAIRED BUT NOT BY A TOYOTA DEALER. AT THE TIME AS NOW, ALL MY LIGHTS WERE LIT VSC TRAC, ABS ETC. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THROUGHOUT HAVING THIS TOYOTA AND IT HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY. NOW AS WE SPEAK MY CAR IS AT A DEALER AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THEY WILL TELL ME IT'S THE FAULTY COMPUTER CHIP. I WILL ALSO HAVE THEM CHECK FOR RUST SINCE I'M HEARING OF ALL THESE CASES OF RUST. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN TIP TOP SHAPE DUE TO MY HUSBANDS KNOWLEDGE OF CARS. HOWEVER, SOME OF THESE REPORTS APPEAR TO BE INCIDENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I GUESS...
WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT TOYOTAS, I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SUDDENLY FLEW OFF! THE CAR SLAMMED DOWN ON TO THE PAVEMENT AND LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD IN WYOMING. THE PINS THAT THE LUG NUTSSCREW ON TO WERE ALL SHEERED OFF. *TR
