Example complaints

“I almost kill myself, the track off goes when I was driving and my car slide to the right after that all lights on the car went on and the code reader do not work says I can't read the codes no codes on the computer”
NHTSA complaint #11318279, filed 2020-03, 110,000 miles“My car has been having this problem for several months and I decided to bring it in to get it checked and fixed. My signals for the brake light, trac off lights and vsc trace lights all go on at the same time periodically as I am driving anywhere on the freeway or the street, and disapear periodically. I thought I had fixed everything when they diagnosed 5 things on my vehicle that needed to be fixed. One of them was my mass air flow sensors that are making my lights go on and off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11023336, filed 2017-09, 197,000 miles“Almost every time I go over a bump or dip at 2-3 MPH the traction control light comes up, the vehicle slows down and I am unable to accelerate for a few seconds, then all comes back to normal. It happens every day and a few times I nearly got in the accident due to unexpected slow down.”
NHTSA complaint #10458070, filed 2012-05, 73,290 miles“The vehicle light that indicates skidding turns on and the car brakes suddenly, it occurs when I am on the freeway and my brake lights don't turn on....the car assumes that I am skidding but the road and tires are fine.”
NHTSA complaint #10683029, filed 2015-02, 64,000 miles“The vehicle vsc trac system goes on for no reason when the car is in motion (roads are straight, and dry). As a result, the brakes go into a loud grind mode and do not engage, a loud blaring beeping sounds, the vehicle starts to vibrates horribly, I can not accelerate and the steering is difficult. It is not safe, as I was on a country road going 55 MPH on a straight 2 way road with traffic! It has happened twice and as far as I can see it has happened to many other 2006 sequoias owners yet only the 2003 were recalled for this issue. Unacceptable!”
