2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 78000.0 miles

Abs system goes on without warning leaving me unable to brake, usually when i am backing out of a parking space & it's cold outside. Has happened intermittently over the last year. When i turn the car off & back on it seems to clear up the issue. Took it in and was given the codes C1223 (fault in abs system), C1247, C1310, was then referred to a dealer. Did some research online & saw i am not alone so wanted to report it. Also 2 years ago we had our latch break on the rear door, had to have it replaced to open up the door, this has happened to many many Sequoias!!

2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 86000.0 miles

While driving, the check engine light, vsc light, brake light all came on. Vehicle would not accelerate past 40 mph. Diagnostic codes C1223, C1247, C1310 came back. Checking the internet, this is a common issue with this vehicle and a recall should be issued.

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).

2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 177425. miles

On friday, july 30, 2010, my 2004 Toyota Sequoia sr5 suddenly disengaged in the middle of oncoming traffic with loss of power; dashboard lights vsc, brake, and trac lights, illuminating, loud metal skidding noise coming from underneath, and subtle burning smell all happening simultaneously as it cruised in fatigue-mode the rest of the way. Scared the life out of me as all i could do was pray that a tractor trailer was not behind me in full speed as they so often do on major roadways. As the truck continued to glide and drivers honking for me to clear the way, i proceeded to nearest Toyota dealership. I reached closest Toyota dealership service dept. For them to examine root cause of issue. Rather than them explaining to me why issue occurred, they quickly concluded need for abs skid control computer, part# 89541-0c062, with diagnostic test results dtC1223 abs control, C1247 stroke sensor, and C1310 active booster solenoid and wanted to charge $$$$ number of thousand dollars. I called Toyota corporate not satisfied with results and corp suggested i get data from dealership's diagnostic for further analysis by my selling/home dealership. I asked servicing dealership for data and they admitted they had erased it and it was no longer available; and said they cannot look into black-box unless mandated by law or by corporate tech support. I then wrote Toyota president mr. Steve st. Angelo and he forwarded it to exec. Customer relations. Customer rel vowed to pay repairs on reimbursement terms if i find Toyota dealer who is willing to repair the truck. I called servicing dealer and they refuse to fix without same-day payment by Toyota corporate. I asked my selling/ dealership who at first agreed to repair the truck then rengaged stating that since former dealership "erased the code" they have no way of confirming issue and if changed abs box and truck's further issues later, they would be held liable. In meantime, i am urgent need of my truck; please help.

2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 47484.0 miles

I own a 2004 Toyota Sequoia. I took it in for new tires,with balancing and an alignment. They also did brake work on the front. It needed caliper pins and the rotors were turned. It had 47,481 miles on it. When my wife left the dealership there was a failure of the vsc (vehicle stability control) system. The system never once before malfunctioned until after the service at the Toyota dealership. It is clear that the dealer messed something up. They claim they did nothing to cause it. We talked the head manager of the dealership. The manager denied that it could be in any way their fault. Is it possible that the service caused the failure? I don't know what Toyota has their mechanics do but someone needs to do a full investigation. The vehicle now is a hazard to drive. I currently can't afford the $1500 dollars to replace the computer. Could it be related to the kind of tires put on or dust or metal in the sensors? Failure codes are C0210 (right rear wheel speed sensor signal malfunction, C1223 (abs control system malfunction) , and C1310 (active booster solenoid). The Sequoia's vsc light comes on often and the vehicle will not accelerate even when the pedal is pressed all the way to the floor. It has almost caused about 2 bad accidents. We currently drive it but don't rely on it for passing. If the system fails we just have to drive slow and stay in our lane. I do know that Toyota knows that this is a huge problem. They also use a different skid control computer in newer models. We need a recall. I have seen many references to this same exact problem. For the safety of our drivers please issue a recall. The manufacturer obviously didn't test the system before it was allowed on the market.

2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 49460.0 miles

Began with e-brake light coming on while driving and only turning off when car turned off. Took to mechanic who could not tell why this was happening. Next while driving and slowing to make a turn my abs brakes engaged at slow speeds. The vsc, trac off and e-brake lights all cam on. I took to dealership who was aware of the problem after looking at my skid control computer that have codes C1223 abs control system malfunction, C1247 stroke sensor, C1310 active booster solenoid. They also found a tsb br006-06 control computer logic change. The dealership initially wanted me to pay $3600 to replace, they then said they would give me a "one time good faith replacement" i picked my car up on friday night with a "new" computer installed, by monday at noon it happened all over again. I am currently trying to get a tow back to the dealership, who will not take my calls. Not sure what to do next...... I've been lucky twice, not sure i will be lucky a third time. This is a significant safety hazard to my children, myself and others on the road around these cars.

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA with 118500. miles

Vehicle was purchased from Toyota on11/21/2009. The next day the brake light came on. It stayed on every time i started the vehicle for 2 days then it went out. Then it would intermittenly come on and reset when i shut the vehicle off. Took it back to Toyota and they found fault code C1310. They said i needed a new brake power booster inside of the master cylinder. After a week of arguing with them they changed it. When i picked up the vehicle the brake light came on again. I called them back and they checked again and said code C1310 had triggered but this time it was the skid control computer and it was not covered and they were not going to fix it for me. I checked the owners forums for Sequoia's and this apparently is a well known issue that Toyota ignores. The dealer has told me as long as the light is on i will not have abs and my anti-skid control will not function.

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!
