What owners wrote
Engine stopped while driving 40 MPH. Would crank, but not start. Efi1 fuse was burned out, replaced, and burned out again upon cranking.
Was driving down major interstate when the vsc warning came on with buzzer. Brakes felt like they were being ground down, engine decelerated, and could feel bumping and grinding on brake pedal. Pulled over and checked under car, found nothing. Got back on interstate and same thing happened only this time the system turned itself off. Can not turn the vsc off with the button provided. Research on internet reveals not an unique issue with sequoia. Has also happened with tundra and other toyotas with vsc system.
