Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My vsc trac, trac off and check engine lights all came on yesterday. I was driving so I'm not sure if they all came on at the same time or not. The brake does not over ride cruise control on highway. So it will continue gas up even you use brake under cruise control mode. This is pretty disappointing since this problem has been seen all the way back to the first generation”

“The secondary air injection pump has gone out. This particular component has a know defect issue with Toyota. Toyota extended the warranty on 2008-2010 sequoias with the exact same engine as my 2007 but they will not cover my vehicle. If they know there is an issue and they are will to extend the warranty of some vehicles, they 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. This is a scam in my opinion.”

NHTSA complaint #10892004, filed 2016-08, 132,000 miles

“The rear latch would not work during a camping trip in a remote area. The rear seats had been removed as per the owners manual prior to the trip. The rear portion of the vehicle was full of camping gear, food, water, and our first aide kit . I sprained my hand and back while first attempting repeated times to open the tailgate and then having to resort to lifting heavy equipment through the back window and also over the passenger seats. We took the vehicle to a Toyota dealer at out first opportunity. …”

“I own a 2007 Toyota Sequoia and the trac off-vsc trac and brake lights turn on several times while driving or after I push the brakes, I took the car to 2 Toyota dealers in miami fl, and they told me that in order to fix the problem the must have a code, the lights comes and go frequently and disappear when you turn off the car, the dealer don't want to help and seems this issue is happening to many people, I don't know what else to do to because they said the computer doesn't show the codes while the car is on, and once you turned off the car the computer reset itself. …”

NHTSA complaint #10480891, filed 2012-10, 53,000 miles

“While the vehicle was traveling at about 40 MPH it suddenly loses engine power and the vehicle becomes hard to steer. Both the vsc off and trac off lights came on. I had to pull to the side and the car died completely. I turned off the car but could not turn it on immediately. I waited for about 5 minutes and tried again and it started up fine, but after I drove for less than half mile the same issue happened again. It happened a total of 6 times within a couple of miles. Since then it's been happening every few days. Took it to my mechanic but they could not pull a code. …”
