2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA - THE VSC, TRAC AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL ILLUMINATED WITH A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR SHUDDERED TO A STOP DURING ACCELERATION. BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY QUICKLY PULLING THE CAR OVER. JUST CHECKED WITH TOYOTA AND MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING BEHIND NOT INCLUDING ALL SEQUOIA'S WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT WE NOTICED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO--BUT EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER, WE'VE BEEN BRUSHED OFF. WHILE TURNING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE IN MY 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5, WE NOTICE THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES. THE VEHICLE SLOWS CONSIDERABLY TO THE POINT THAT WE HAVE BEEN CRAWLING AND EVEN BLOCKING AN INTERSECTION. THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO ENGAGES WHEN WE TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY OR WHEN WE TURN ONTO SIDE STREETS. CARS BEHIND US HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO AROUND US OR HAVE SLOWED UNTIL WE CAN MOVE AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WE WERE TOLD AT FIRST IT WAS JUST OUR TIRES. THEN THEY TOLD US IT WAS GOING TO COST OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS BAD. OUR EXPERIENCE IS EXACTLY THAT OF THE MOST RECENT RECALL OF OTHER 2003 SEQUOIAS, BUT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. *TR

I OWN A 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. ABOUT A MONTH AGO HAD TO STOP THE CAR ABRUPTLY UNDER RAIN TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE THAT FAILED TO PERFORM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE ABS DID NOT WORK AND I SKIDDED OF THE ROAD WITHOUT MAJOR CONSEQUENCES. . AFTER A VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY REPORTED THAT VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL MODULE, IT IS NOT WORKING. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS 66000 MILES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL MODULE IS THAT IS DISABLES THE ABS WHEN THE MODULE STOPS WORKING. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IN VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY AND VEHICLES WITH RELATIVE LOW MILEAGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM FOR THE TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. *TR

I OWN A 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT GOING OFF AND ON DUE TO THE VSC/ABS TRAC LIGHT RELATED TO THE SKID CONTROL COMPUTER SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. NOW THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON MY CAR. DURING AN INTERNET SEARCH I FIND THAT MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE EITHER BEEN IN ACCIDENTS OR ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM DUE TO IT SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS ALSO VERY COSTLY AND THE TOYOTA COMPANY DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET AND HOPE I NEVER WILL BUT IT IS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ON TOYOTA SEQUOIA COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING, STAYS ON TILL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, BRAKES SEEM TO WORK FINE, BUT VEHICLE SLOWS WHEN MAKING A TURN, INCLUDING MINOR TURN AT LOW SPEED AND THE ROLL OVER LIGHT COMES ON, WITH THE WHEELS HARDLY TURNING. VEHICLE IS 2003 BUT LESS THAN 50, 000 MILES (APPROX. 48,689). *TR
