2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

I HAVE REPLACED THE LATCH ON MY LIFT GATE 3 TIMES NOW. THE LATCH KEEPS BREAKING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I DON'T SEE A RECALL FOR IT BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR IT. I CAN'T ACCESS MY SPARE TIRE IF I HAVE A FLAT OR SOMETHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

WHEN TURNING CORNER IN MOTION THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION FOR 2 - 3 SECONDS, WHEN LIGHT GOES OFF ACCELERATION WILL RESUME. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

REAR HATCH. REAR HATCH HANDLE MADE OF PLASTIC. HAS BROKEN TWO TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. DEALER CHARGES $400 EACH TIME TO REPLACE. TOYOTA SHOULD NOT MAKE CARS WITH SUCH CHEAP PARTS. CANNOT GET INTO VEHICLE.

SEVERE RUST HOLE IN REAR FRAME OVER LEAF SPRINGS NOTED BY MECHANIC WHEN DOING ALIGNMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION.

WHEN MY FRAME WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED I STARTED HAVING MY VCS AND CHECKNENGIN3 LIGHT COME ON CONSTANTLY AND NAME THE TRUCK SHAKES AND IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN OVER SPEEDS OF 25 UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. TOOK IT TO LAWRENCE TOYOTA AND THE SAID IT WOULD COST $2175 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED IN 100 OF SEQUOIAS AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE FRAME RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ALL I WANT TOYOTA TO DO IS REPAIR MY VEHICLE AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE ENTERING THE RAMP TO GET ON THE EASTEX FWY. (IH 59) NORTH BOUND, I OBSERVED THAT UP AHEAD OF ME A VEHICLE WAS IN A COMPLETE STOP WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED TO SWITCH LANES BUT I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE TO MY LEFT WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SWITCH LANES. I THEN RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE OTHER CAR WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. AFTER COLLIDING WITH THE STOPPED VEHICLE, I WAS THRUST FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO PREVENT MY FACE, HEAD, AND UPPER BODY FROM CRASHING INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WINDSHIELD OF MY CAR.

IN MARCH 2016, I HAD - FOR THE FIRST TIME - THE VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, BRAKE, AND ABS LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL COME ON... ALL 4 ON AT ONCE. THEN AGAIN, TODAY, I HAD THE VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. A KNOWN ISSUE FOR BOTH SEQUOIA AND TUNDRA MODELS, OWNERS HAVE TRIED TO GET A RECALL. MANY THOUGHTS ONLINE ABOUT WHAT CAUSES THIS; IT APPEARS IT'S A FAULTY SKID CONTROL UNIT (ECU UNIT). SAYS THE ECU WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO A "SAFE" MODE AND LIMIT OUTPUT POWER AND ACCELERATION, UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. I EXPERIENCED THIS TODAY AFTER THE LIGHTS CAME ON. OTHERS ONLINE SAY MIGHT BE A BAD BRAKE FLUID SENSOR, BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH OR OXYGEN SENSOR. HOWEVER, OVERWHELMINGLY IT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY ECU' AND THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC PART ($2,300)!

SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM REPEATEDLY BRAKING PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO LIMP MODE, ALSO CAUSING JERKY DRIVING. 2-3K REPAIR ON A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NO RECALL?

MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS LOCKED IN THE JEEP UNABLE TO GET OUT IN A 90 DEGREE WEATHER. ON JULY 1ST THE JEEP WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET IN BRIDGEPORT NEW JERSEY. I CAME OUT THE VEHICLE THEN LOCKED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND HURRIED TO BRING A BAG WITH FOOD INSIDE EVEN THOUGH PASSENGERS WERE STILL EXITING THE VEHICLE. MY SON WAS NOT READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT CLOSED. LATER HE TRIED TO EXIT THE JEEP AND EVERY TIME HE TRIED TO OPEN THE JEEP DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD LOCK AND THE ALARM WHO OFF. HE DID THIS QUITE A FEW TIME AND WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE JEEP. HE HAD TO CALL SOMEONE ON HIS CELLPHONE TO HIS AID. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. WHY DID THIS HAPPENED? IS THIS A DEFECT? WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP THAT I HAVE TO TAKE?

THE VSC TRAC LIGHT, THE VSC OFF LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON.... IT CAUSED MY BRAKES TO ACTUALLY FAIL. I CAN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND THIS SEEMS TO RESET IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT VARIOUS TIMES. IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE WARM SUMMER MONTHS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAPPILY HAVE IT FIXED IF SOMEONE COULD TELL WHAT THE EXACT FIX IS?
