2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND STARTED TO CHANGE LANES, WHEN I SAW A DAMAGED AREA ON THE FREEWAY DROVE OVER IT AND THE LIGHT FOR TRAC CONTROL LIGHT, VSC LIGHT, AND ABS LIGHT WERE ALL ON. THEN I EXITED TO CHECK FOR ANY VISIBLE PROBLEMS NOTHING THAT I COULD NOTICE. SO I STATED TO RESEARCH ABOUT THIS AND FOUND FORUMS TO SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FROM WHAT I SEE. DO YOUR PART TO GET THINGS DONE WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. *TR

THE VSC AND TRAC LIGHTS STARTED COMING AFTER A CLUCKING SOUND HEARD FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT GOES AWAY. BUT IT COMES BACK INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AS WE WILL NEED TO GO ON A LONG FAMILY TRIP IN A FEW WEEKS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CHECK ENGINE, VSC OFF, AND THE VSC TRAC LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEY WON'T TURN OFF. TOOK IT IN TO TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE THE FOLLOWING DATE AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ECU AND SKID ECU COMPUTER BOARD AND THAT IT MAY FIX IT? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. *TR

THE ABS ACTUATOR ON MY 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 CAUGHT FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS WHEN I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND SWITCHED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND WAS TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO SHUDDERED BEFORE I REGAINED ACCELERATION. ONE MILE DOWN THE ROAD, AT A SPEED OF APPROX. 30 MPH, 3 WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED (VSC LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT) FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BY ITSELF. LUCKILY, I WASN'T REAR-ENDED, BUT BY THIS TIME, SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I COULD SEE FLAMES COMING FROM THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, WIRE HARNESS, WIPER MOTOR AND HOOD. *TR

REPEATED INCIDENCES OF GAS PEDAL BEING STUCK AND UNABLE TO BE DEPRESSED TO GIVE THE VEHICLE FUEL AND ACCELERATE. ESSENTIALLY VEHICLE RANDOMLY LOCKS UP, TYPICALLY AT LOW SPEEDS AS ON A PARKING LOT OR LEAVING A DRIVEWAY OR PARING GARAGE. THE GAS PEDAL FEELS AS IF THERE IS SOMETHING BLOCKING IT FROM BEING UTILIZED WHILE THERE IS NOTHING PHYSICALLY OBSTRUCTING THE PEDAL. AFTER TAPPING AND THEN FRANTICALLY TRYING TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND BREAK IT FREE IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD NECESSITATING QUICK REACTION AND BREAKING. IT IS SCATTERED BUT RECURS PERIODICALLY WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR THE TRACTION, SKID, STABILITY ISSUES AND AIRBAGS. SCHEDULED FOR RECALL SERVICES MENTIONED BUT DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH PEDAL. ONCE TOLD IT WAS CLEANED AND ADJUSTED BUT IS MOSTLY IGNORED AND I'M TREATED LIKE I'M NUTS. NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BUT I'M AFRAID THAT SOMEONE MAY BE HURT. IT IS A FRIGHTENING EVENT AS YOU FEEL NOT IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND VULNERABLE. HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING ONTO BUSY STREET. EVEN GIVING AMPLE TIME FOR NORMAL TRAFFIC, THE INABILITY TO PROVIDE GAS TO THE VEHICLE LEFT US AT THE VEHICLES MERCY AND IN A VULNERABLE SPOT TO BE BRIAR SIDES BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS NOT THE FLOOR MAT. *TR
