2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHEN TRYING TO TURN AND ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND I'M NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS (NO POWER). THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE CONDITION IS DRY. THIS IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT SLOW SPEED, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS, SOMETIMES WITH BEEP ALARM AND SOMETIMES ENGAGES THE ABS SYSTEM. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE SINCE YOU LOSE CONTROL OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. *TR

WARNING INDICATOR TRAC OFF , VSC OFF, AND BRAKE ARE ON WITH GRINDING BRAKE NOISE OCCURRED. *TR

AIR PUMP THAT CUTS ON FOR ONE MINUTE WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED, PUSHES AIR INTO STARTING SYSTEM TO INSURE ALL GAS IS BURNED COMPLETELY. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD BY DEALER A LITTLE PLASTIC FAN BLADE BREAKS INTO PCS. AND WERE STUCK IN VALVES MAKING CAR GO INTO "LIMP MODE". WHEN THIS HAPPENED CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL OR GO OVER 45 MPH. DEALER QUOTED $3500.00 AND SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO THESE LITTLE PLASTIC FAN BLADES. I HAVE READ THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY IN THE TACOMA TRUCK LINE. I THINK DEALER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THESE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ON CAR OR UP TO 10 YEARS. THEY SHOULD NOT BE MADE OF PLASTIC BEING SO CLOSE TO ALL THE HEAT IN AREA OF AIR PUMP. ME AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEING ON INTERSTATE WHERE THE NEED TO GO OVER 45 MPH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY OR GET REAR ENDED. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY LOOKING AT THE TACOMA WEB SITE, TOYOTA IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET, COVERING SOME PEOPLE AND I READ COVERING CARS IN CANADA BUT NOT IN USA. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO COVER COST. MOST OF THE COST IS LABOR FOR THIS 5 BUCK PLASTIC FAN BLADE.HIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO PAY 3500.00 BUCKS FOR A BAD DESIGN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER AND A GRINDING/VIBRATING OF THE BRAKES WHILE IN MOTION. THE TRAC OFF AND VSC TRAC WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT. THE WARNING LIGHTS AND VIBRATING OF THE BRAKES COULD ONLY BE RESET BY TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 12 HOURS. *TR
