2002 Toyota Sequoia Complaint Log

COMPLAINT - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WHILE TURNING ON CITY STREET & HIGHWAY I ENCOUNTERED TWO SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VSC AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ABS & ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT/RIGHT. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING SOUND AND PULLS VERY HARD TO THE LEFT/RIGHT. THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION AND FEELS LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING MECHANISM IS BEING ENGAGED. THE JERKING PULL RESULTED IN CROSSING MULTIPLE LANES OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS REGAINED. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE DEATHS KNOWN ISSUES WITH OTHER SEQUOIAS. *TR

WHEN I ENTERED THE FREEWAY, MY VSC TRAK AND VSC OFF LIGHTS CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT SUDDENLY. I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND INSPECTED MY VEHICLE, TO FIND NOTHING VISIBLE. I RE-ENTERED THE FREEWAY, TRAVELED APPROX 100 MILES, WITH NO ISSUE. THEN, THE SAME EVENING, I EXITED THE TOLL ROAD NEAR MY HOME, WHEN THE VSC TRAK AND VSC OFF LIGHTS FLASHED AND BEEPED, AND BRAKES LOCKED UP ON AND OFF VIOLENTLY, AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS POSSESSED. I MANAGED TO GET IT HOME, AS I WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE FROM THERE, WHERE I PARKED IT, AND HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE...THE YAW SENSOR. BUT, THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, AFTER TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, AT ANY SPEED, AND WITH NO WARNING OR VISIBLE REASON FOR DOING SO. THIS POSES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAYS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE A DEADLY DISASTER AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND WITH MANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AN ISSUE TO IGNORE OR TAKE LIGHTLY.

WHETHER DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS OR ON THE FREEWAY, I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNEXPECTED PULLS (JERKING) ON MY STEERING WHEEL AND WOULD HEAR GRINDING NOISE WHERE I CAN FEEL MY CAR SHAKING (AS IF I WAS DRAGGING A METAL SCRAPING THE ROAD AS I AM DRIVING). THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR A FEW SECONDS (TO AS LONG AS ALMOST A MINUTE, UNTIL I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF MY ENGINE IN ONE CASE WHERE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY). EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS, THE VSC LIGHT COMES ON AND REMAINS ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WHEN I FIRST STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR KNOWN ISSUES. IT WOULD CONTINUE TO HAPPEN PERIODICALLY AND SINCE IT WASN'T HAPPENING ALL THE TIME, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ALWAYS SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, WHENEVER I BROUGHT IT IN, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RE-CREATE THE ISSUE. LATELY, IT'S BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS (SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES A DAY). JUST YESTERDAY, WHILE I WAS MAKING A U-TURN, THE VSC CAME ON AND LOCKED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE POINT WHERE IT SLOWED MY ACCELERATION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THE TURN. THEN, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY (STRAIGHT, FLAT SURFACE) GOING 65 MPH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN: MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO 1 SIDE, THE GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE VSC LIGHT CAME ON. AND LATER, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL STREET (ALSO STRAIGHT AND FLAT SURFACE) IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TODAY, I WENT ONLINE AND TYPED IN MY VIN# AND SURE ENOUGH, IT SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS, HOWEVER, THERE'S MULTIPLE FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG, ESPECIALLY IF MULTIPLE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HAZARD & SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY. FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CO-WORKERS WHO HAVE RODE IN MY CAR ALL WITNESSED AND EXPERIENCED IT. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON A RESOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE STABILITY LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE YAW-RATE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 191,000.

WHEN DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY YANKS HARD TO THE RIGHT, IT SOUNDS LIKE I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, FRONT RIGHT TIRE FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT STOPPED TURNING. CAR SLOWS, VSC SYSTEM IDIOT LIGHTS FLASH AND BEEP. AFTER I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY THOUGH UNINTENTIONALLY RUN ANOTHER CAR OFF THE ROAD IT RETURNS TO NORMAL. THE IDIOT LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MECHANICS NUMEROUS TIMES IN LAST FEW WEEKS, CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. BUT KEEPS HAPPENING. MECHANIC IS AWARE OF 2003 AND NEWER RECALL FOR THE SAME REASON, TRIED RECALIBRATING YAW SENSOR SUCCESSFULLY. 3 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN MECHANICS SAYS THE SENSOR MAY BE PERIODICALLY MALFUNCTIONING, OVER CORRECTING FOR A NONEXISTENT PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 30 MPH ONCE, AS WELL AS TODAY THE LIGHTS AND BEEPING WENT OFF AT A DEAD STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY. WENT STRAIGHT TO MECHANICS, TURNED OFF CAR TO GO INSIDE, NOTHING FOUND WHEN HE PULLED IT IN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 SEQUIOA AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 20MPH, THE VEHICLE MAKES A TERRIFYING GRINDING NOISE, WHILE THE SKID ICON BEEPS AND THE TRAC & VSC LIGHTS COME ON. THE STEERING & BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT AND THE CAR VEERS TO THE RIGHT. ITS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND I RECENTLY LEARNED OF THIS FORUM. IF I START THE TRUCK AND LET IT RUN WHILE I FINISH GETTING DRESSED, THE LIGHTS WILL SOMETIMES BE ON BEFORE I START DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM DOESN'T OCCUR BUT THAT COULD TAKE UP TO AN HOUR TO OCCUR, SO I'VE LEARNED TO ONLY DRIVE IT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON ON THE DASH. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP WHO ONLY REMINDS ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. ONE DEALERSHIPS CONCERN WAS ONLY TO SELL ME ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE REMINDING ME HOW EXPENSIVE THE ISSUE WAS TO FIX, QUOTING ME A REPAIR COST OF APPROXIMATELY $3000. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK SINCE 2003 AND IT HAS ONLY 116K MILES, PARTLY BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO EITHER CRASH AND HURT MY FAMILY OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY. I WORKED HARD TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT BUT I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. LIVING IN LOUISIANA WHERE HURRICANE EVACUATIONS ARE COMMON, I NEED MY TRUCK AND I CANT BELIEVE THAT A REPUTABLE COMPANY LIKE TOYOTA WONT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. IM A TOYOTA FAN & THIS IS MY 3RD TOYOTA BUT I THINK I WONT BE BUYING ANOTHER ONE.

2002 SEQUOIA PURCHASED USED, VSC TRAC DESENGAGES WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME, SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND MAKING GRINDING NOICE IN THE SUSPENSION OR BREAKS, IT WILL RESET AGAIN AFTER PARK AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPEN AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN ABOUT ONE MONTHSINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE WARNING LIGHTS NO LONGER SHUT OFF AFTER TURNING KEY OFF, VSC LIGHT; TRAC OFF DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAT ON. CAN THE VSC/TRAC DISENGAGED BE DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR: CAN'T THIS JUST STAY TURNED OFF SINCE THERE IS A VSC TRAC BUTTON IN TRUCK TO TURN IT OFF?

JUST BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE COUPLE WEEKS AGO...TO DISCOVER THAT VSC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS COMES GO ON WHEN DRIVING ON SURFACE ROADS AT NORMAL SPEED. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENT DURING A TURN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN THAT OCCURS, HEAR LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THIS CONDITIONS ARE MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STATIONARY DURING DRY CONDITIONS, THE VCS LIGHT TURNS ON AND STARTS BEEPING WHILE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE SUDDENLY WITH POWER LOSS AND SIGNIFICANT FRONT END VIBRATION. THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND MUCH SLOWER BRAKING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY COMES TO A STOP, THE "VSC TRAC" AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON AND THE CAR DRIVES FINE FROM THAT POINT ON UNTIL TURNED OFF. WHEN THE "TRAC OFF" AND "VCS TRAC" LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT PRESENT ITSELF. HOWEVER, IF THOSE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE, THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST MILE. THE CODE READER DOES NOT SHOW A SPECIFIC CAUSE SO OFFICIALLY UNKNOWN, HOWEVER, THE SITUATION SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THAT OF OTHER 2002 AND LATER SEQUIOAS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. OUR 2002 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO THE RECALL DATE BUT APPEARS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

2002 SEQUOIA PURCHASED USED, VSC TRAC DESENGAGES WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME, SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND MAKING GRINDING NOICE IN THE SUSPENSION OR BREAKS, IT WILL RESET AGAIN AFTER PARK AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPEN AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN ABOUT ONE YEAR THAT I AM DRIVING IT, DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED DESENGAGE OF THE VSC TRAC AT ANY TIME SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE WITH OUT WARNING AND NO BREAK LIGHT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, I HAVE LOOK IN THE INTERNET AND THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLES EQUIPED WITH THE VSC TRAC, I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THE ISSUE, I BELIEVE IT IT IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM IT SHOULD BE TAKE CARE UNLESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMETHING DRASTIC TO HAPPEN, HOPE I CAN GET SOME WHERE WITH THIS COMPLAINT, THIS IS A SECOND TOYOTA AT HOME AND I LIKE TO KEEP BOTH CARS FOR AS LONG AS I CAN. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM DOES HAPPEN AT ANY TIME IN THE STREET AT 20 MILES HIGWAY AT 50 SOME TIMES AT 60 MILES, DURING STRAIGHT RIDE OR TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, PLEASE ADVISE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INCURRE EXPENCES ON A FACTORY DEFECTIVE ISSUE.

VSC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS GO ON AND A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE PULLS THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. NOT SAFE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN. PLEASE HELP.

TERRIBLE RUST ON THE FRAME, AND UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA EXTENDED THE RUST THROUGH WARRANTY, BUT DIDN'T REPAIR THE ISSUE SINCE THERE WAS "NO RECALL". THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR A NUMBER OF PRODUCTION YEARS FOR TOYOTA AND THEIR FRAMES.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, I ENCOUNTERED TWO SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES THAT WERE RECALLED AS PART OF A PRIOR NHSTA CAMPAIGN (10V-176). WHILE MY TOYOTA IS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SAME WINDOW OF A RECALL, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NHSTA HAS OPENED AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION (PE16006) IN RESPONSE TO OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. ISSUE #1: TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CODE BASED ON THE VCS WARNING LIGHT INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH THE CENTER POSITION OF THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (SAS). THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND THE ECU PROGRAMMING WAS UPDATED TO RESOLVE THE SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE #2: ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL WHILE DRIVING DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH A FAULTY YAW RATE SENSOR. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VSC AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING SOUND AND PULLS VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION AND FEELS LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING MECHANISM IS BEING ENGAGED. THE JERKING PULL RESULTED IN CROSSING MULTIPLE LANES OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS REGAINED. THE MECHANIC EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO REGAIN COMPOSURE AFTER ALMOST GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE FAULTY YAW SENSOR WAS REPLACED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. AFTER EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES WITH THE TOYOTA SENSORS THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, I HAD THE FAULTY SENSORS REPLACED. I HAVE REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM TOYOTA BUT WAS DENIED. THE REPAIR WAS FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES WHICH ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR (APRIL 2002 ' APRIL 2003), AS MY VEHICLE IS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2002. THE REPAIRS INCLUDED THE DEFECTIVE STEERING SENSOR AND THE YAW STABILITY SENSOR REQUIRED TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL", A MONTH AGO THE VSC/TRAC LIGHT CAME UP. AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE GAS CAP, IT WENT AWAY. THEN CAME THE GRINDING SOUND AT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND ALSO, A FLAPPING SOUND (LIKE A FLAT TIRE) WHEN MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE ABS FOR THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE KICKS IN WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN FEEL THE ABS PUMP THE BRAKE & THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN THE VSC & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. TWICE I'VE HAD IT DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY YAW CONTROL SENSOR. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHILE TOWING A TRAILER. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT A STEADY SPEED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VSE/TRAC LIGHT AND TRAC OFF LIGHT COMES ON, BEEPING SOUND. TRAVELING AT 70 MPH OR 65 MPH VEHICLE VEERS LEFT AND STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT. JUST THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WITHIN 24 HOURS ON INTERSTATE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM DISCUSSED IN A RECALL OF THE 2003 THROUGH 2005 MODELS. MANY PROBLEMS OF THE SAME NATURE ARE REPORTED ON INTERNET FORUMS FOR THE 2000 T-MODEL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE DRY AND NO HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

VSC TRAC AND VSC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 70 MPH. LF WHEEL BRIEFLY PULSED BRAKES FOR NO REASON. LIGHTS STAYED ON AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND RE-STARTING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT PROBLEMS IN TOYOTA TUNDRA/SEQUOIA VSC COMPUTERS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. 126K MILES ON VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, A WARNING INDICATOR CHIME WAS HEARD WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL BRAKE WAS INADVERTENTLY APPLIED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY LASTED A FEW SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT NOTICE, VSC AND TRAC LIGHTS, GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATIONS, DECELERATION, AND PULL TO THE RIGHT.

TRAC OFF-ROAD LIGHTS, TRAC VSC LIGHT, BEEPING, PULLED RIGHT AND DECELERATE ON INTERSTATE. FORNUNATELY, IN THE RIGHT LANE OTHERWISE DO WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. SPEED APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE STABILITY LIKE BLINKS AND BEEPS THEN THE VSC TRAC/VSC OFF LIGHT COME ON. THERE IS NO CONTROL OF BRAKES OR GAS. FEEL GRINDING IN FRONT OF CAR. AFTER MANAGING TO STOP EVERYTHING RESET. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO WARNING OR REASON AS TO WHY. HAVE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FIXED. BUT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND VERY UNSAFE AS TO NO WARNING AND NO CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE 2003 MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BEFORE THIS IS INVESTIGATED?

THE VSC TRAC & VSC OFF LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF CAUSING CAR TO CUT ON AND OFF.WHEN TIS HAPPEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I JUST PURCASED CAR THE DEALER SAID TO REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OF COURSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND BECAUSE IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE IT FALLS ON ME.

I HAVE BEEN RECIEVING REQUEST OF SERIOUS AIR BAG DEFAULTS AND TO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. NORTH GEORGIA TOYOTA IN DALTON, GA HAS TOLD ME I AM CURRENTLY GOING TO BE ON A WAITING LIST. I ASKED HOW LONG, THEY RUDELY RESPONDED WITH " NO IDEA, A MONTH, TWO MONTHS, MAYBE LONGER. IF WE DON'T HAVE THE AIRBAG WE CAN'T FIX IT." I SAID THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND LIFE-THREATENING INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REPLIED, "GIVE YOU A CALL WHEN WE GET TO YOUR SPOT ON THE WAITING LIST AND HAVE PART."

POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE LOWER BALL JOINT DETACHED FROM THE KNUCKLE LOWER CONTROL ARM. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST STEERING CONTROL AND THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V225000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000. UPDATED 09/28/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,000. UPDATED 03/13/17.*JB

THE VSC/ABS INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEAR INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE CAR BEEPS, MAKES A HEAVY GRINDING NOISE AND THE ABS BRAKES ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY THE DRIVER REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED, OR WHETHER DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. THE CAR WILL FISHTAIL. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE VEHICLES AND THAT THERE WAS A 2003 RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT IN THE SAME MODEL FOR THE 2002 VEHICLES SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD. MUST WE FIRST HAVE AN ACCIDENT TO WIN RIGHTS TO BE ACCOMMODATED. DOES TOYOTA NOT WANT TO MAKE GOOD ON ITS PRODUCT AND SATISFY ALL OWNERS/CUSTOMERS. I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND THANK GOD EACH TIME I REACH MY DESTINATION WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE WE HAVE TO DRIVE OUR SEVERELY DISABLED 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE. WE ARE REALLY SCARED! SEE OTHER IDENTICAL CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/SEQUOIA/2002/BRAKES/ELECTRONIC_STABILITY_CONTROL-4.SHTML

WHEN DRIVING THE IT SAYS IT IS OFF TRACK AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE BREAKS COMES ON AND JERKS THE CAR.

VSC/TRAC INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT COMES AND GOES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE SEVERELY AND DECELERATED RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE STABILITY, TRACTION AND SKID CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE ROAD SIDE TO SWITCH OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V176000(ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

THE VSC OFF, VSC TRAC, BRAKE LIGHT, AND ABS INDIATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD, STAY ON ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VSC LIGHT PROBLEM IS AT LEAST A $700 FIX. THESE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND NEVER GO OFF.

VSC TRAC/ VSC OFF, ABS, BRAKE LIGHS COME ON THE VSC TRAC AND THE VSC OFF LIGHT COME ON AND OFF DUE TO A FAULTY ABS SENSOR. TOYOTA DEALER CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW THIS FAULTY LIGHT COMES ON. DID A RESEARCH ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF OTHER TOYOTA SEQUOIA OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUES.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRAC AND VSC LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND BEEP AND BOTH THE TRAC OFF AND VSC LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE BRAKES WOULD ALSO SEEM LIKE IT'S GRINDING WHEN THE STABILITY LIGHT IS BLINKING AND BEEPING. I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THIS GUY ON THIS VIDEO HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=L6QSGUPTDSQ

I HAVE A 2002 SEQUOIA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN DOING THE REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2003. I TOOK IN THE RECALL FOR THE BALL JOINTS AND EVEN BEFORE I RECEIVED IT I HAD AN ISSUE. WHEN TURNING RIGHT, MOSTLY IN CURVES THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING IN THE FRONTEND AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR . THEY TOLD ME THAT HERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM BUT I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THE TRAC HAS TO STABILIZE MY CAR, THIS HAS HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING NO TURNS. THE TRAC LIGHT IS ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY CAN NOT EXPLAIN IT TO ME. THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS FOR ME I HAVE SPENT MONEY ON THIS CAR LATELY BUT THIS IS A VERY LARGE REPAIR AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS FIXED I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAG AS WELL THAT MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED. I NEED HELP WITH THIS, THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS.

BACK DOOR AND WINDOW DO NOT WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2013, THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO INQUIRE ABOUT AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE FRAME CORROSION. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. TWO YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WAS CORRODED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL EXPIRED IN JULY OF 2014. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRAC AND VSC LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND BEEP AND BOTH THE TRAC OFF AND VSC LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE BRAKES WOULD ALSO SEEM LIKE IT'S GRINDING WHEN THE STABILITY LIGHT IS BLINKING AND BEEPING. I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THIS GUY ON THIS VIDEO HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/VGEARN4NITO

IDENTICAL PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED BY MANY OTHERS. VSC-TRAC AND TRAC-OFF LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED ON DRY, LEVEL PAVEMENT WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, CAUSING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE (MUCH LOUDER THAN NORMAL APPLICATION OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES), AND CAR PULLED AND WOULD NOT STOP NO MATTER HOW HARD THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. FIRST COUPLE TIMES, BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, SO THE FAILURE TO FULLY STOP WASN'T NOTICED. THEN, I EXPERIENCED AN INCIDENT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED COMING TO A STOP SIGN. EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO THE INTERSECTION. HAD A CAR BEEN COMING IN CROSS TRAFFIC, THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, WE TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE, AND THE YAW SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $800, AND 3 MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE VSC-TRAC AND TRAC-OFF LIGHTS REMAINING ILLUMINATED AFTER THE SELF-CHECK WHEN THE VEHICLE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. RESTARTING THE CAR TYPICALLY CLEARS THE LIGHTS. REPAIR SHOP HAS INDICATED THAT THE THE YAW SENSOR WILL NOT RETAIN ZERO CALIBRATION. THEY SET IT, RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND IT LOSES CALIBRATION. ERROR CODE IS NOW INDICATING THAT THE CONTROL MODULE (PART# 89541-0C050) HAS FAILED (ANOTHER $1200+ REPAIR ON TOP OF THE YAW SENSOR, WHICH WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE). THESE FAILURES CLEARLY PUT VEHICLES AT RISK OF ACCIDENTS, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE 2003 SEQUOIAS WERE RECALLED FOR VSC ISSUES, BUT NOT THE 2002, WHEN THE PARTS BEING REPLACED FIT BOTH YEARS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, AND THE ISSUES BEGAN AT 60,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 62,000 MILES.

AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED. THIS IS A SEALED UNIT WITH NO FITTING FOR ADDING LUBRICANT. THE JOINT LOOKED DRY.

THE BRAKES OF THE CAR ,AND WE I DRIVE I CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 80 MILES PR HOUR BECAUSE IT CHECKS.I FIXED THE BRAKES AND THE LIGHT STAY ON FOR EVER NOW EVERY TIME I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO TAKE THE FOOT BRAKE.

THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITH A TUNDRA FRAME. TOYOTA RECALLED THE RUSTY FAULTY UNSAFE FRAMES. WE JUST DISCOVERED THAT THE SEQUOIA WE PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2014 HAS A FAULTY FRAME WITH LARGER THAN 10MM RUST HOLES AND NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE PUTTING ME OUT $10,000. WE DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL ON THE FRAME AT TIME OF PURCHASE BECAUSE TOYOTA DID NOT ADVISE OF PREVIOUS RECALLS WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM. WHEN I LOOKED THRU THE RECALLS ON THE NHTSA SITE, I ALSO DID NOT SEE THIS RECALL. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE A FAULTY FRAME STATING IT IS OUTSIDE THE COVERATE PERIOD. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT REPLACE THE FRAME. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE THIS FRAME. IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M PLEASED THAT THE FRAME DID NOT RUPTURE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. I OWN A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE MANUFACTURER ADMITTING ISSUE BUT NOW REFUSING TO CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS FOUND WHEN THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AND WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL CAR REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED US OF THE TUNDRA FRAME AND RECALL. I DID OPEN A CASE WITH TOYOTA WHICH IS: 1510140859 AND THEY REFUSED STATING THE ISSUE IS NOW MINE BECAUSE I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE. I JUST WANT THE FRAME REPLACED SO THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO RUN TO 400,000 MILES AND CONSUMER SHOULD NOT RISK INJURY OR DEATH WHEN THERE ARE HOLES IN RECALL POLICY AND USED CAR PURCHASES HAVE NO COVERAGE WHEN MANUFACTURES BUILD FAULTY VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS BOOK VALUE OF 7000 AND I PUT IN MORE FUNDS TO ENSURE IT GETS TO 400,000 MILES.

IDENTICAL PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED BY MANY OTHERS. VSC-TRAC AND TRAC-OFF LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED ON DRY, LEVEL PAVEMENT WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, CAUSING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE (MUCH LOUDER THAN NORMAL APPLICATION OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES), AND CAR PULLED AND WOULD NOT STOP NO MATTER HOW HARD THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. FIRST COUPLE TIMES, BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, SO THE FAILURE TO FULLY STOP WASN'T NOTICED. THIS NOW HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE AND DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING. THESE FAILURES CLEARLY PUT VEHICLES AT RISK OF ACCIDENTS, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE 2003 SEQUOIAS WERE RECALLED FOR VSC ISSUES, BUT NOT THE 2002, WHEN THE PARTS BEING REPLACED FIT BOTH YEARS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS WITH 140,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR ABOUT AIR BAG INFLATORS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA TWICE BUT WITHOUT ANY PARTS BEING REPLACED. THE MOST RECENT NOTICE I GOT IS STILL ABOUT AIRBAG INFLATOR. IN THE LETTER, IT SAYS THE INFLATOR ON MY CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED REGARDLESS OF THE INSPECTION RESULTS. WELL I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY INSPECTED IT AND TOLD ME MY CAR IS FINE, AND NO REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY. PLEASE CONFIRM IF MY CAR IS AFFECTED WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, THANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RECALIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 240,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE CORROSION ON THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, WHICH THE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINTS, WHEEL TIRE CARRIER, AND AN UNDER COATING OF ANTI CORROSIVE ADHESIVE WAS APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,586.

THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES WHEN THE SKID LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THEN THE VSC OFF & VSC TRAC OFF LIGHTS WILL COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM 15 - 60 MPH AT TIMES YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS FOR A FEW SECONDS. IF THIS EVER HAPPENS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A TOYOTA SPECIALIST MECHANIC AND THEY ARE STILL REPLACING PARTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA RECALLED ALL 2003 SEQUOIA'S FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED PROPERLY.

I HAVE NOT HAD AN "INCIDENT". THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED ON 7/21/2015. MY QUESTION IS: ARE ALL THE OTHER AIRBAGS (DRIVERS SIDE MAIN AIRBAG, ALL THE SIDE AIRBAGS) IN THIS VEHICLE SAFE? IF THEY ARE SAFE WHY ARE THEY SAFE IN COMPARISON TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG? OR ARE THERE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS?

ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES BY ITSELF DRIVING ON A FLAT, DRY ROAD. ABS/TRAC LIGHTS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED FOR A FEW YEARS (WITHOUT ABS ACTIVATION TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE PRIMARILY), LIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN KEY IS CYCLED, NO CODES PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM WHEN SCANNED PREVIOUSLY. LAST OCCURRENCE FOR ME WAS AT 45MPH, AGAIN A FLAT DRY ROAD. VSC/TRAC LIGHTS FLASH, A WARNING BUZZER SOUNDS, AND THE ABS CREATES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS IT ACTIVATES. VEHICLE PULLED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND UP ONTO THE CENTER MEDIAN. NO ACCIDENT DUE TO A ROUNDED CURB AND WIDE CENTER MEDIAN. HOWEVER, IF THE CENTER MEDIAN WERE NOT THERE IT COULD PULL A VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON AN UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING AT 25 MPH VEHICLE FRONT END STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. THOUGHT TRANSMISSION OR CVS JOINTS HAD DISINTEGRATED. VSC LIGHTS LIT UP PULLED OVER .FOUND NOTHING WRONG? HAS DONE NUMEROUS TIMES DURING LAST YEAR. STARTED IN JULY 2015 INTERMITTENTLY AND CURRENTLY HAPPENS DAILY. AT 65 MPH' SUV FRONT END SLIPPED'. ALSO PULLS TO RIGHT. SCARY WHAT IF ON ROAD CURVING LEFT. PEOPLE COULD POSSIBLY GO OFF ROAD AND BE KILLED AND LIST IT AS 'DRIVER FELL ASLEEP'. READ ON TOYOTA FORUM WEBSITE, 2003 WERE RECALLED. WHY NOT 2002????? PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN 2002 SEQUOIA TO DEALER AND DELEAR CHANGED OUT SENSOR AND COMPUTER CHIP AND OWNERS STILL EXPERIENCED PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO INSPECT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE BACK IN 2013. UPON TAKING THE ABOVE VEHICLE TO THE SIMI VALLEY TOYOTA DEALER FOR THIS INSPECTION, THE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO INSPECT MY AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. IN 2014 I RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO INFORM ME THAT THIS FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE NOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO SO. THE TOYOTA CORPORATION STATED THEY WOULD INFORM ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IN 2015 I RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO INFORM ME THAT THEY HAD THE PARTS AND THAT I COULD GO TO ANY TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPLACEMENT DONE. ON JUNE 18, 2015, I CONTACTED THE SIMI VALLEY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THAT PART IN UNTIL FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2015. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 26, 2015 AND DROPPED MY CAR OFF TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE REPLACED. SIX HOURS LATER, I WAS CONTACTED TO PICK UP MY CAR AND INFORMED THAT THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE-THEY ONLY INSPECTED IT. I WAS INFORMED BY THE MANAGER THAT MY AIRBAG DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED PER THEIR RECORDS. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THEIR RECORDS, BUT THE MANAGER STATED SHE COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANYTHING TO SUPPORT THAT ONLY AN INSPECTION OF THE MODULE WAS NEEDED-INSTEAD OF THE REPLACEMENT PER THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM THE TOYOTA CORPORATION. I SHOWED THE MANAGER MY COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE, BUT SHE STILL MAINTAINED THAT IT ONLY NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED-NOT REPLACED. I AM CONCERNED THAT SIMI VALLEY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES PROPERLY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT ANY FRONT PASSENGER IN MY CAR COULD BE INJURED! PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO PROCEED WITH SAFETY RECALL.
