What owners wrote

Unexpected acceleration on a 2001 toyota sequoia registered to a mother of 4. Incident occurred on I85 at mile-marker 104 in broad daylight with clear, dry conditions. With recent revelations about toyota hidden safety around unexpected acceleration, this is the only explanation that makes sense with regards this fatal accident. Updated 03/14/10 according to the police report, the right front tire of the vehicle ran off the roadway to the right onto the rumble strip.

Reported at 47,581 miles, November 2004 CrashDeath

Driving on hwy approx 65 MPH. Vsc and trac lights came one. Grinding noise was heard as vehicle pulled. I was by myself thankfully. Extremely dangerous and glad my wife was not driving the vehicle at the time. Took it to the local dealer and had the stability control ECU replaced - 945.00. Would have been 1,200.00 but the dealer waived three of the five hours of labor. This should absolutely be a recall and is very unsafe.
