2004 Toyota Sequoia traction control system problems

“The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated that the check brakes and a traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent at first but had become a recurring failure. When Toyota issued a recall for the braking issue, the contact did not receive notices, so the contact called them and was told it was a few selected 2004 Toyota Sequoia recalled for those who had complained but, it was not broadcasted like that. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, but the vehicle was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 07E023000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.”

“YES, WE JUST PURCHASED THIS USED 04 SEQUOIA FROM A PRIVATE PARTY SELLER AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE THE FIRST MONTH WE DROVE IT THEN THE VSC LIGHT AND THE TRAC OFF LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND WE HAD IT TESTED AT AUTOZONE FOR FREE. THE TESTING SHOWED A BAD O2 SENSOR. THE CAR STILL DRIVES FINE ITS JUST THE LIGHTS ARE ON. ITS REALLY IRRITATING. I GOOGLED IT AND READ A BUNCH OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I READ THAT THE 03 SEQUOIAS WERE RECALLED FOR THESE ISSUES. *TR”

“ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING LOW SPEED LEFT TURNS MY 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS SHUTTERED AND STRUGGLED TO STAY ON THE ROAD, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND BEEPS, AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. VEHICLE ALSO SHUTTERS WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER, BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S HIGH PRICE TO REPLACE. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND SUGGESTED IT WAS AN ISSUE CALL A "LOW SPEED DROP" AND WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE ABS SYSTEM OR TRAC CONTROL. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHAT TYPE OF DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HOOK UP A COMPUTER WHICH PRODUCED A CODE RELATED TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE COMPUTER GAVE THEM THEMASTER CYLINDER CODE AND DID NOT OFFER TO REINSPECT VEHICLE TO DETERMINE ACTUAL CAUSE. *TR”
