Example complaints

“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”
NHTSA complaint #10911108, filed 2016-10, 139,800 miles“Began acceleration from 35 MPH progressing to 55 MPH, accelerator left my foot, engine sped up to over 5,000 RPM, applied both feet to brake pedal with all my weight, engine continued to race above 5,000 RPM, put car into drive 1 with no change, engine raced, put car into neutral and engine continued racing over 5,000 RPM, was able to steer car into a ditch, turned off ignition. The check engine light was blinking during this event. I was never able to stop with my brakes. …”
NHTSA complaint #10364751, filed 2010-11, 82,300 miles“I own a 2007 Sequoia and a few months ago on random occasions while taking a right turn my vsc (vehicle stability control) light would turn on and the gas pedal would no longer supply gas to the engine. This is very dangerous especially if I am turning in to on-coming traffic with my entire family in the car. The cars coming up behind me often must slow down quickly to avoid rear ending me. My mechanic (not from a Toyota dealer) informed me that he had several customers who had come in with the same complaint. …”
NHTSA complaint #10386240, filed 2011-03, 59,000 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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10470613, filed 2012-08, 65,000 miles“The vehicle lunges or rolls forward after coming to a complete stop with brakes fully depressed. This problem has been reported on numerous Toyota message boards for several Toyota models of varying years. This is very dangerous as the driver comes to a full stop and then the vehicle starts moving (with the brake fully depressed).”
