Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2001 Toyota Sequoia with 199000 miles will apply the ABS to the right front tire and then disable the vcs system. This causes the vehicle to pull to the right and has forced me off the road. I have had it looked at and the computer code was a bad yaw sensor. The mechanic verified the sensor was good as was the wiring. I'm told the vsc computer may be bad.”
NHTSA complaint #10346267, filed 2010-07, 199,000 miles“Vsc trac warning light intermittently comes on, my recently purchased used 2001 Toyota Sequoia. I've read online posts that the ECM associated with this computerized anti-skid braking system is a common problem on these Toyota's and that action is being taken at your office to ensure Toyota corrects this issue. I want to ensure my Sequoia is also repaired.”
