2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 129637. miles

When backing out of garage and applying brakes, the abs motor was heard and then the brake light came on. Then the vsc trac, vsc off and abs lights came on. The brake pedal felt mushy so a visit to dealer was made. The concern was addressed with service, and they came back with : "test drove car and inspected brakes. Found dtc's C1223, C1244, C1247, C1310. Provided estimate for updated skid control ecu @ $905 + tax". As the customer, i declined to schedule. Then during a past winter storm, backing out of driveway again, the same thing occurred. Very concerned that this braking system is defected in any wet/snowy/ice weather. I have had to divert to driving my 1998 honda accord in snow instead of the Sequoia. I am very concerned driving this Sequoia with my kids in car and braking at anytime. I feel an updated software/logic in ecu or an updated skid control ecu is valid enough to say they have a known issue that is 'safety' related, and Toyota should buck up covering this as warranty. I have contacted Toyota motor sales, usa, inc. And my case is filed at their headquarter office under my name and file #[xxx]. They stated their is no customer compliance issued recall/bulletin or warranty available to cover my concern due to its age and mileage. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6).

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 10000.0 miles

Shortly after purchasing my Toyota Sequoia in 2003, there was a recall on the vehicle stability (vsc) system and the trac system. I had the recall repaired at that time. In 2010, there was a recall again on the same system and i again had it repaired in 2011. Shortly after that, the incident occurred again. I again brought my vehicle into the dealer but was told the Sequoia did not have any open recalls on it and the repairs were for me to handle. At that time, i did not get the repair fixed because of the cost Toyota was charging for the repair. I explained to the dealer it was the very same defect that kept reoccurring and was told that there was no recall. I was esentially sent away. I recently (8/31/15) paid for a diagnostic to be preformed on my Sequoia and the codes for the issue came up again. Nhtsa campaign #10v176000 the Toyota codes that came up are C1203,C1223,C1244,C1247. I spoke with Toyota and they acknowledge the recall and that my Sequoia is included but insist, that because of the year of my vehicle, i am no longer eligible to be reimbersed for this recall. The then offered me money off purchasing a new Toyota instead of honoring and standing by their product. I am not in the market to by a new vehicle at this time and am seeking that Toyota absorb the cost of the recall to repair the safety issues.

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 118000. miles

My 2003 Toyota Sequoia's abs/vsc/trac lights are on. Now the brake light is coming on intermittently. We've had the rear and front brake pads changed recently. Recently while we were coming to a slow stop at a gas station, i was pressing the brake and it made a loud grinding noise. It felt like the brakes were going to give out. Immediately after, the brake light went on. I turned the engine off and the brake light was gone. A few times while at a stop light, the car will give a little jerk as if being hit from the back. Called Toyota customer care center to file a complaint with them regarding the issue with the lights and brakes issue. Did internet research and this is a very common complaint among Sequoia owners...Yet they still don't have a safely recall on this vehicle. The Toyota representative said there was a recall for the ecu skid control system - but that my vin number didn't fall under the recall. We have taken it to an independent mechanic and they pulled the following codes: C1223, C1244, C1247 and C1310. It seems that if this is a problem that many Sequoia owners are experiencing, Toyota should fix it. Please help!
