  VSC ACTIVATES FREQUENTLY ON LOW SPEED, 90 DEG TURNS, UNDER COMPLETELY DRY DRIVING CONDITIONS, CAUSING A BRIEF (SEVERAL SECONDS) LOSS OF POWER TO WHEELS. SEEMS TO PRIMARILY OCCUR ON RIGHT TURNS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME ON CERTAIN TURNS, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH VEHICLE ORIENTATION AND/OR INTERSECTION GEOMETRY.

  car is not recalled yet the same model year is recalled from 2007, this problem effects my car as well as cars made earlier in the year.

Repair estimated are atleast $600 possibly $1200 as it is worn in 2 places The problem is on the passenger side front. The car has 114000 miles.

I TOOK TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT NOTICE IT? THEN TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE IT FURTHER BECAUSE NO NOTICE WAS OUT? MY SUV HAS 24K MILES ON IT, I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ONE YEAR. THIS IS A SEVERE PASSENGER SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, AND KILL SOMEONE ELSE OR SELF.

  THE REAR LATCH WHICH CONTROLS THE OPENING OF THE REAR HATCH BROKE. THIS PART IS MADE OF PLASTIC (PERHAPS COSTING 0.30), AND IT IS SHELTERED FROM DIRECT SUN AND WEAR AND TEAR BY BEING COVERED WITH A PART OF THE HATCH WHICH IS MADE OF STEEL. THE HATCH WHEN THIS PART IS BROKEN CANNOT BE OPENED. THIS MEANS ONE CANNOT GAIN ACCESS TO THE SPARE TIRE OR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PART COSTS OVER $90, AND THE LABOR TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $170. COMBINED THIS APPROACHES $300 WITH TAX. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS INTO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THEY POINTED OUT THAT THEY HAD TWO OTHER SEQUOIAS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP HAVING THE SAME REPAIR BEING PERFORMED. THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK BECAUSE IT OCCURS SO OFTEN. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS SHOWN THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES. A RECALL WOULD APPEAR TO BE IN ORDER. *TR

  Plan road trip Had Vehicle thoroughly. Inspected only to find that the frame was cracked on goth side and all brake lines are corroded. Called several places to get help with this matter, only to have no help at all. Spoke to many people final communication was with [XXX] in Tennessee who admitted the prior owner was notified as to the issue I have owned this vehicle for 6 yrs and could not understand why the Prior owner was notified and not I. I find that due to not notifying the correct owner they should allow me to have this issue taken care of, but they are not cooperating with me I would like to take this matter further and have them accountable for this safety issue and neglect as to contacting the existing owner. reaching out for help Sincerely [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  WE HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V286) FOR OUR 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA (VIN [XXX]) OVER THE SUMMER. WE HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR PERFORMED. HOWEVER, WE WERE PLACED ON WAITING LISTS AT TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. I HAVE SINCE MADE 4 PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CORPORATION (1-888-270-9371; CASE # [XXX]) BECAUSE THE RECALL LETTER RECOMMENDS LETTING NO ONE OCCUPY THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THEY WOULD FACILITATE A LOANER CAR SINCE THE PART WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. NOW I AM TOLD THERE IS A DEALER HOURS AWAY THAT HAS THE PART THOUGH THE LOCAL DEALERS DO NOT. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME HOW OR WHY SOME DEALERS ARE RECEIVING THE PART WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT. TOYOTA CORPORATION CAN ONLY TELL ME "IT DEPENDS ON THE INDEPENDENT DEALERS' CONTRACT WITH TOYOTA." THEY ARE ALSO, REPORTEDLY, UNABLE TO SEND THE PART FROM ONE DEALER TO ANOTHER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TOWARD A REASONABLE RESOLUTION IS APPRECIATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

  2007 SEQUOIA VSC TRAC SENSOR LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF AND HEARING GRINDING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. ALONG WITH THE VSC TRAC SENSOR LIGHTS TURNING ON, THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNS ON AS WELL. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AS I WAS PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL, AND AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL DOING NO MORE THAN 20 MPH - MY VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND ALL THE ABOVE LISTED INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO (NERVOUSLY) DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. DURING THESE INSTANCES, I HAVE NOTICED DECREASE ACCELERATION AND MY VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THE REAR IS SLIDING FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

• 09/12/2007· STRUCTURE

  I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SUV AND THE REAR DOORS DO NOT STAY OPEN UNLESS THEY ARE OPENED VERY WIDE (FULLY). THIS HAS CAUSED THE DOOR TO CLOSE ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN CLIMBING INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO SECURE MY CHILDREN IN THEIR SEATS. ALSO, IT IS A DANGER FOR THEM AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL CAUSE IT TO CLOSE. THE DOOR WILL STAY OPEN IF FULLY OPENED, BUT THE SPACE REQUIRED TO DO SO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN MOST CONSUMER'S GARAGES. THE MIDDLE DOOR CHECK WAS ORIGINALLY FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE BY THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY WERE REPLACED ON BOTH REAR DOORS. NOW THE PROBLEM APPEARS WORSE. THE DOOR USED TO STAY OPEN IN THE MIDDLE DOOR-CHECK POSITION *MOST* OF THE TIME, BUT NOW MOST OF THE TIME IT CLOSES WHILE SECURING THE CHILDREN. THE TOYOTA DEALER CONTACTED TOYOTA, BUT THEY SAID IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED, THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD MANY CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I DON'T REALLY EXPECT ANYTHING TO BE DONE, I JUST WANTED TO RAISE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED-AT FOR FUTURE MODELS. *TR

THE 2007 HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. HEY SHOULD COVER ALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE TYPES BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE! THIS REPAIR CAN COST THE CONSUMER UP TO $3600. THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD SOUND UPON STARTING AND THE TRAC AND ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS.
