About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Extremely high idle speed from a cold start (1500-1700 RPM) leads to wheel spin and loss of control on icy/snowy surfaces. I turned sideways in my driveway this morning while backing out of my garage. Rear wheels are spinning while the brakes are holding the front wheels. I have a business partner who also has a 2005 Sequoia that behaves identically. He slid off his driveway into a landscape bed, suffering minor body damage. The cold start idle speed is excessive and dangerous.
