2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5

THE VEHICLE , WHILE STARTING AND PULLING OUT ONTO THE ROAD, WOULD SEEM TO TRY TO TAKE OVER AND PULSATE AND APPLY THE BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS! I PAID FOR COMPUTER ANALYSIS TO BE DONE, WHICH VERIFIED THE C1231 ABS CONTROL SYSTEM FAULT, BUT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY PRIOR EXPENSES DUE TO THEIR DEFECT. FRUSTRATING! *TR

I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA TRAC CONTROL, VSC, AND ABS LIGHTS GOING, ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES SINCE NEW, BUT THEY WOULD GO OFF AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. NOW THAT HAVE COME ON AND STAY ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY ITS THE YAW SENSOR AND WILL COST AROUND $650 WITH PARTS AND LABOR. I THINK THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PART FAILING AND MAYBE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS LOOKING INTO SINCE ITS PART OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA VSC / ABS SKID CONTROL ECU FAILURE. WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER ON FRIDAY 10/01/2010 FOR A RECALL ON MY TOYOTA TO UPDATE THE VSC ECU. DEALER COMES BACK AND SAYS MY VSC ECU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $900.00 PRIOR TO UPDATING THE ECU. I DECLINED THE REPAIRS AND THEY HAD ME SIGN A RELEASE STATING TOYOTA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILED COMPONENTS DUE TO MY DECISION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE VSC. *TR

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5- COMMON PROBLEM LIKE OTHERS ABS/VSC TRAC/VSC OFF SENSOR LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR RECALL FOR SKID CONTROL ECU UPDATE AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT THIS UP TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS ASKED - WHAT LIGHTS - YOU DID NOT TELL US SENSOR LIGHTS WERE ON - IT WILL BE $49.99 TO PULL VEHICLE BACK IN AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM NOT STUPID, THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THIS VEHICLE BEFORE AND ALL THEY TELL US IS WE HAVE TO REPLACE SEVERAL SENSORS - $3000.00 +. THERE ARE TOO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OUT THERE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO PUT THE FUNDS INTO FIXING A SERIOUS DEFECT. *TR
