2003 Toyota Sequoia service brakes problems

“Traction control warning lights, VSC warning lights. These lights have been on for 2 years, resulting in check engine light on. I have replaced every sensor possible, fuses, gas cap, and reset the system multiple times but can not get these lights to stay off. Since lights have been on, when driving on a muddy, wet, icy or slippery road way, my steering locks up, the brakes stop working and there is complete loss of vehicle control. All without warning. This is an extreme hazard and very dangerous. This has been on going since 2017 and is still a major problem . It started at around 200,000 miles.”

“UNKNOWN I'm unsure of what is causing it but it is a very common issue with the 03-04 sequoia. The brake light will come on like on mine and apparently it's a failure in one of the brake components. It's either the brake booster or the master cylinder in most cases is starting to g out. I've done research on this issue and it's a very common problem costing people thousands to get fixed. I feel like if it's that huge of a problem like I've seen with sequoia owners than it's needs to be addressed in a better manner”

“"VSC OFF, VSC TRAC, and ABS" indicators on the dash. YAW sensor failure which controls wheel speed which will cause vehicle to decelerate and possibly cause an accident. Toyota should issue a nationwide recall. Toyota is aware of the issue but has failed to issue a nationwide recall.”

“I TOOK MY SEQUOIA TO HAVE AN AIRBAG RECALL FIXED AND A RECALL THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SKID CONTROL MODULE BEFORE I TOOK IT TO HAVE THESE RECALLS DONE MY 2 VSC LIGHTS (VSC OFF LIGHT AND VSC TRAC LIGHT) ON THE DASH WERE ON AND SO WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT I THOUGHT MAYBE THE SKID CONTROL RECALL WOULD FIX THE VSC LIGHT BUT NOW BOTH OF THE VSC LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND MY BRAKE LIGHT IS NOW ALSO COMING ON WHEN I START MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY BRAKE POWER IS DIMINISHED AND MY VEHICLE SHAKES BAD WHEN HITTING MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN OR JUST TO SLOW DOWN IN GENERAL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHEREVER I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME BUT AS LONG AS THE VSC LIGHTS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AREN'T ALL LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD AT THE SAME TIME MY BRAKES AREN'T AS DIMINISHED BUT BOTH OF THE VSC LIGHTS STAY ON AND MY VEHICLE STILL SHAKES WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. ALSO WHEN BOTH OF THE VSC LIGHTS ARE ON ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT MY VEHICLE WANTS TO SPIN THE BACK TIRES WHEN I'M TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS COMPLETELY FOR A SECOND THEN PROCEED.”

“TRAC OFF VSC TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. SEEMS TO BE FAULTY SENSOR. BRAKE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON WITH NO ISSUE WITH BRAKES. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND EVERYTHING CHECKED. ON 2 OCCASIONS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON, THE ANTISKID CONTROL ACTIVATES WHEN THE CAR IS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN. THE CAR IS HARD TO CONTROL AND SHAKES. AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF FOR AWHILE THE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THE NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE BUT WILL COME BACK ON RANDOMLY. TRAC OFF AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ARE ON.”

“TAKATA RECALL. THE PARKING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND WE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE ECU, WHICH WE DID. THIS DIDN'T FIX IT. THE CAR GOT WORSE AND STARTED SHAKING WHEN I DROVE AND WHEN I STOPPED IT WOULD SHAKE AND MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM SERVICED. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND A DANGEROUS FLAW IN THESE VEHICLES.”
