This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vsc and trac and ABS lights come on 2003 Sequoia with 38,000 miles for no reason. Dealer says yaw rate sensor bad but have had problem with these lights since purchase in 2003. Apparently, many Sequoias from 2001 to present have problems like this. Toyota needs to be do something.
On my 2003 Sequoia with 50K miles, I believe I have an extremely dangerous situation! on turns, especially right turns when trying to accelerate into fast moving traffic I experience a total loss of power with no acceleration. I can pumping the gas pedal and press it to the floor, but I just coast slowly into the oncoming traffic and wait to be possibly rear ended. This happens in dry road conditions, and seems to occur more often when the engine is cold. My skid/traction lights blink for a second or two, then I re-gain engine power another second or so after that. I have also noticed my steering has become very stiff when driving in very slow situations 2-4 mph (parking lots, driveway etc.), I don't know if this is related.

Vsc llights in my 2003 Toyota Sequoia have come on multiple times, the car has already been back to the dealer for repar 4 times, it seems that they either do not understand what is causing the problem, or Toyota is unwilling to admit that there is a serious defect in the car. The vsc light seems to now come on in the morning when the car is cold, and will then shut off if the car is restarted. Dealer has been notified and now waiting to see if any actions are taken.
2003 Toyota sequioa, vsc lights/vsc tracking lights come on and make grinding noise once it is triggered it stays illuminated and the vehicle must be returned to dealership, and now this third time the check engine light appears, and is staying illuminated. This problem has happened for the 3rd time in four months. It is ridiculous. Checkered flag Toyota, va. Beach, va. Is the dealer with who has looked at the vehicle.
2003 Toyota Sequoia limited, 5 months old, 5200 miles, check engine light came on at the same time as vsc lights. Seems to be other reports of same incident. Also, brakes seem to be inadequate for vehicle weight with loing stopping distance, and significant travel when parking brake applied (low pedal)
