Electronic Stability Control (esc), traction Control System
12/06/2012
TRACTION CONTROL BECAME ACTIVE AND ENGAGED. PAVEMENT WAS DRY/CLEAN, 43 DEGREES, NO TRACTION LIMITING ROAD/TIRE CONDITIONS. THIS OCCURRED DURING ACCELERATION REGARDLESS OF RATE OF ACCELERATION. TRACTION CONTROL WOULD TURN BACK OFF WHEN PRESSURE WAS RELEASED FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THIS SEVERELY LIMITED THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION IF SOMEONE WAS TO BE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE WAITED 10-15 SECONDS AND POWERED THE VEHICLE BACK ON CONDITION DID NOT RETURN. *TR

DISCOVERED REAR BUMPER WAS SEVERELY BURNED AROUND TAIL PIPE AFTER PULLING A TRAILER. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM MODESTO TOYOTA. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MODESTO TOYOTA AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM AS A FACTORY DEFECT. THEY INSPECTED THE PROBLEM AND REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TAIL PIPE AND BECAUSE IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD. I HAVE LOOKED AT ANOTHER 2010 SEQUOIA WHICH PULLS A TRAVEL TRAILER AND DISCOVERED THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM HAS A POTENTIAL TO START A FIRE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILES. *TR

WHILE PULLING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER WITH OUR 2010 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LIMITED 5.7, UPON STOPPING TO FUEL UP THE BUMPER AROUND THE EXHAUST PIPE HAD MELTED AND WAS SMOKING. WE NOTICED IN THE INTERIOR A FOUL SMELL, LIKE A PLASTIC BURNING BUT COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. WE STOPPED TO FUEL UP AND I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN DISCOVERED WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS. THE TOW VEHICLE WAS WELL WITHIN LIMITS ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
