2005 Toyota Sequoia Complaint Log

THE PLASTIC LATCH ON THE REAR DOOR OF OUR 2005 SEQUOIA BROKE IN NOVEMBER 2011. WE HAD IT REPLACED AT THE DEALER FOR A COST OF $300. FOURTEEN (14) MONTHS LATER, THE PLASTIC HANDLE HAS BROKEN AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 75000 MILES AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE DEALER OFFERED A DISCOUNT ON THE LABOR BUT NOTHING ELSE. THE MECHANISM TO ADJUST THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WAS ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIMES DURING WARRANTY BUT HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. THE RADIO CHANGES STATIONS AT A WHIM AND THE DVD PLAYER QUIT WORKING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS AN EXTREMELY SHARP END THAT MUST BE HAMMERED BACK PERIODICALLY. AND, THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 75000 MILES. *TR

MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAD THE VSC LIGHT COME ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT IT WAS A CODE FOR THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION VALVE STICKING OPEN, BUT HE ALSO TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THE VALVES BEFORE AND IT ENDED UP BEING THE PUMP. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP"MODE WHICH WAS VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, IT WOULD SEEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE WILLING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW CABLE FOR THE LIFT GATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,100. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TOYOTA - THERE IS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE VBS, SKID CONTROL, BRAKING SYSTEM WITH THE TOYOTA 2005 SEQUOIA!!!!! MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR IN TERMS OF HANDLING OR BRAKING POWER - LUCKY FOR ME I DRIVE LIKE A CAUTIOUS GRANDMOTHER AND WAS DRIVING SLOWLY STOPPING AT A ROUTINE STOP. THIS EVENT HAPPENED AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF TAKING THE CAR IN. AFTER THIS SERIOUS EVENT I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM NOT TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.... TOYOTA REPLACED THE SKID CONTROL COMPUTER - CLOSE TO 1000. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A 99% FIX. FASTFORWARD AND THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER....NOW THEY CLAIMED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS AT FAULT FOR ANOTHER NEAR THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE REPAIRING DEALERSHIP SERVICEMAN ASSURED ME THEY FINALLY GOT IT AND SAID HE WOULD FEEL VERY SAFE FOR ME TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN. I WAS HESITANT, BUT DID LEAVE TO GO OUT OF TOWN....ONLY TO FIND MYSELF AT YET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON.....AND THEN GOING OFF WHEN THEY WENT IN TO THE SERVICE STALL. THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR AS I REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK AND THEY STATE UNTIL THE PROBLEM "RECREATES ITSELF" THEY ARE AT A LOSS TO DATE. TO ME TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO RECREATE THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR....AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS UTTERLY NUTS. IN SHORT, I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THAT CAR EVER AGAIN. NOR DO I WANT ANY OTHER PERSON IN THAT POTENTIAL "DEATH TRAP." IF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY DOES NOT STEP IN.....I AM TELLING YOU....THERE WILL BE DEATHS!!!!! I HAVE NO QUESTION IN MY MIND OVER THIS ISSUE!!!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME AND RECALL THIS FOR THE LIFE OF SOMEBODY. *TR

MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS. USUALLY WHEN I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF - ONLY TO RETURN AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN MANY TIMES ONLY TO HEAR THAT THE LIGHTS HAVE TO STAY ON FOR GOOD TO ANALYZE AND OR FIX IT.....A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SAVANNAH MADE THIS COMMENT ON MY LAST FULL SERVICE APPT AND MADE THE SAME REPLY YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY WHILE BRAKING ON A CLEAR DAY AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED AT A ROUTINE LIGHT THE BRAKES MADE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WITH AN ALMOST WRECK CAUSED BY THE THIS FAILURE AND ALL THE BRAKE, ABS AND VCS LIGHTS COMING ON. TODAY I REPLACED THE SKID CONTROL COMPUTER AT A DEALERSHIP...FOR A PRICE OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! 2 DEALERSHIPS SAID THIS IS STEP ONE IN THE PROBLEM AND THAT "HOPEFULLY" IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. AS THE MOTHER OF A SMALL CHILD, I AM AT ALL HAPPY WITH THIS ANSWER AS I KNOW THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY MY CHILD AND I MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE IT AS ALL CONTROL WAS LOST. I THINK A RECALL IS NEEDED!!!!!!!!! I HAVE READ OF MANY REPORTS OF 2005'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANKS. *TR

STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS, ABS LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. ABS DOES NOT WORK WHILE LIGHTS ARE ON. *TT

THE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY GOES ON AND OFF. TRAC OFF, VSC TRAC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL COME ON. A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE AND VIBRATION. ENGINE WILL NOT ACCELERATE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND THE TRAC CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. I ALMOST GOT HIT. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY OVER $2000 TO REPAIR. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 THAT JUST LOST HER JOB. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAME ABOUT IN THE 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA RECALL. WE NEED THIS FIXED!! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE SKID CONTROL UNIT AND MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH WOULD BOTH NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,950.

2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5. MY VSC TRAC LIGHT, ABS, BRAKE, LIGHTS COME ON PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON. I HAVE READ MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

VSC (VEHICLE SKID CONTROL), TRAC (TRACTION CONTROL), BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS IS A 2005 MODEL YEAR TOYOTA SEQUOIA WITH APPROXIMATELY 41,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE NEW. DEALER SAYS COMPUTER NEEDS REPLACED, APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPLACE. VSC/TRAC/BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEMS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED IN 1ST GENERATION SEQUOIAS (2001-2007 MODEL YEARS). READ ABOUT PROBLEMS ON WWW.TUNDRASOLUTIONS.COM. *TR

ACCORDING TO TOYOTA MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA'S VSC/ABS SKID CONTROL ECU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHEN I REPORTED THAT I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE OF VSC VASC TRAK AND FOOT BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. I SOME HOW CONTROLLED MY VEHICLE AND SAVED MYSELF FROM HAVING AN ACCIDENT. NOW TOYOTA IS ASKING FOR $1100 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. THIS UNIT SHOULD RECALLED BY TOYOTA AS THEY ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *KB

AT AROUND 51,000 MILES THE ABS AND VSC LIGHT CAME ON. LIGHTS WENT OUT 2 DAYS LATER. IT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS THEN GO OUT. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE FOUND NO CODES STORED. NOW IT HAS 100,00 MILES AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON. TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SKID CONTROL ECU NEEDS REPLACED. WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY YEAR SEQUOIA. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE FUNCTIONS DO NOT WORK. I FEEL THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAS BEEN AWARE OF BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE, TRC-OFF, AND VSC-OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VSC TRACK OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

2005 2WD TOYOTA SEQUOIA LIMITED HAS THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS ON WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING: VSC, TRAC-OFF, ABS, ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, AND IT WILL NOT GO OVER 50 MPH, AS IF HAVING NO POWER. MY SEQUOIA IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM ON THE ROAD. UNTIL TOYOTA STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, THEY ARE JUST A PATHETIC CAR COMPANY WITH BOGUS QUALITY IMAGE. *TR

MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS HAD ISSUES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS IN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GET ENGAGED AND IT ALMOST STOPS MOVING FOR A SECOND UNTIL THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL KICKS IN. TODAY THE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN VSC TRAC AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING 3 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE( I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. HAS BEEN TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT HAS BEEN FIXED AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN. TODAY MAY 7TH IS 2ND TIME FOR 2011 THAT I AM AGAIN AT DEALER WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2005 - AIR INJECTION CONTROL VALVE & PUMP BROKE. CAUSING CAR TO COMPLETELY MALFUNCTION. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC - A BLADE FROM THE AIR INJECTOR PUMP BROKE - DISLODGED INTO SYSTEM AND CAUSED CORROSION AND DEBRIS TO ENTER INTO SYSTEM CAUSE OVER $2800 WORTH OF PARTS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNCOMMON PART TO REPLACE ACCORDING TO MECHANIC. TOYOTA DEALER HAD THE PARTS TO REPLACE IT - CAUSING MORE CONCERN THAT THIS MAY BE A RECALL ITEM CONSIDERING THE DANGEROUS SITUATION IT PRESENTS WHEN CAR COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTIONING PARTS. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND RECENTLY MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON, THEN MY CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING, AND RECENTLY HORN QUIT WORKING. THESE ALL TOOK PLACE IN A MATTER OF A FEW WEEKS. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE WITH MY MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY SPIRAL CABLE/CLOCK SPRING FAILED. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, AND I AM NOW DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN OR AIR BAG PROTECTION, UNTIL I CAN SAVE ~$350 TO GET IT REPLACED. THIS IS A HIGH RISK ITEM AND SHOULD HAVE A LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY. *TR

AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA FOR APPROX 20+ MILES, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE ABS, BRAKE, TRAC, VSC, ETC. LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP ON THE DASH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SUV BECOMES A LITTLE HARDER TO CONTROL. IT WANTS TO PULL TO ONE SIDE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. IF YOU STOP AND TURN OFF THE SUV AND RESTART THE LIGHTS GO OFF. MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON A SHORT TIME LATER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA IN JULY OF 2009 AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH MANY SEQUOIA OWNERS. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEAM TO HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. I HAVE HAD CONTINUED ISSUES WITH OUTER WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND YES I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED SEVERAL TIMES. THE TIRES, REGARDLESS OF QUALITY, ARE LASTING ABOUT 20,000 MILES. UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE FROM A SAFETY OR EXPENSE PERSPECTIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP. AS THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WITH HESITATION. IN ADDITION, THE VSC OFF, VSC TRAC, CHECK ENGINE AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT BOTH THE VSC COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF, AND PARKING PARK LIGHT COME ONE AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. THEY WILL BE OFF...BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE STILL ON. *TR

VSC TRAC/VSC OFF/BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. VEHICLE LOSES POWER, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS ON MY 2005 SEQUOIA. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA SEQUIOA 4X4 2005 BOUGHT NRAND NEW BUT HAVE PROBLEM SINCE THEN WITH ALL TIRES WEARING ONLY THE OUTSIDE WALL..DONE 3 SETS OF TIRE WITH ALIGNMENT GOING 4TH NOW BUT ISSUES NOT RESOLVED...AND THERE OTHER SEQUIOA'S WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THIS THING NEED TO BE ADDRESS..DEALERS AND TOYOTA NOT RESPONDING TO THIS ISSUE...THANK YOU. *TT

I NOTICED THE VSC TRAC LIGHTS STAYED ON. THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO DRIVE FINE FOR A WHILE, THEN LOSES POWER. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES AND RESET IT. HOW IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME MOSTLY ABOUT THE 2 OR 3 DAY AFTER UNHOOKING THE BATTERY. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT MANY SEQUOIA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, BUT TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO DO A RECALL. THIS ISSUE WITH VSC TRAC IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THROUGH MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD LOSE POWER AT ANY TIME, AND MANY OWNERS STATE THEY HEAR A GRINDING NOISE AS THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THEY RECALLED THE 2003, WHAT ABOUT US, A FRIEND HAD A NEW COMPUTER EPU PUT IN AT $3000 AND DID IT AGAIN IN 6 MONTHS...TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND OTHER PROBLEMS...WE NEED A RECALL OR HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

TRAC LIGHTS CAME ON ONE MONTH AGO AT ABOUT 95 ,000 MILES. CAR HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS AND GAINING SPEED. A REPUTABLE CAR DEALER (NOT TOYOTA) TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF. GRINDING STOPPED- CAR WAS FINE. THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN TODAY WHEN ENGINE STARTED. AGAIN, CAR HAD TROUBLE GAINING SPEED AND CHANGING GEARS AT 99,000 MILES. WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 100,000 MILES OR SEVEN YEARS. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY CAME ON OVER SEVERAL MONTHS (JAN - MAY 2011) AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SOMETIMES AT STARTUP, OTHER TIMES AT HWY SPEED. SINCE FLUID WAS FULL AND CLEAN, DID NOT TAKE CAR IN RIGHT AWAY. MENTIONED TO DEALER AT 60K MI. SVC TO DIAGNOSE. TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A MALFUNCTIONING "ELECTRONIC SKID COMPUTER." COST $122 TO DIAGNOSE AND $1120 TO REPLACE. I UNDERSTAND THIS COMPUTER CONTROLS THE STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS SYSTEMS, SO IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, ENGINE STOPS INTERMITTENTLY, "ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" LIGHT COME ON, ENGINE DIES, NOT ON A SLIPPERY ROAD. VERY HAZARDOUS IF ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. *KB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA FROM A DEALER. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND LOOKS TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE INSIDE AND OUT. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THE CAR IS RUSTED OUT WITH SEVERE RUST AROUND THE JOINTS AND WELDS OF THE UNDERFRAME. I HAVE LIVED IN NE FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS AND HAVE OWNED MY FAIR SHARE OF CARS AND TRUCKS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FRAME THAT IS THIS RUSTED ON A FAIRLY NEW CAR. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 2003 FORD EXPLORER THAT I USED IN THE SNOW/DIRT/ROAD ALL YEAR LONG AND THE FRAME LOOKED BRAND NEW WHEN IT WAS SOLD. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND TALKING TO OTHER SEQUOIA OWNERS, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR LACK OF QC. THE TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM THE SAME YEARS WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED AND YET THE SEQUOIA OWNERS ARE LEFT WITH EXPENSIVE TRUCKS THAT CAN'T PASS INSPECTION AFTER 6 OR LESS YEARS ON THE ROAD. TO ME, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I REALLY HOPE THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. *TR

OUR SEQUOIA HAS STARTED 'LUNGING' FORWARD UPON INCIDENTS OF HEAVY BRAKING; FOR INSTANCE, WHEN WE BRAKE HARD AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE PRESSURE IS RELIEVED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD HARD- IT PUTS OUR HEADS INTO THE HEADRESTS AND FEELS LIKE WE HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND; THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND A LIABILITY ISSUE AS THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN BRAKING HARD; IT'S NOT A THROTTLE ISSUE OR A BRAKE ISSUE, BUT FEELS MORE SO LIKE THE POWERTRAIN IS SLIPPING OR JUMPING BACK INTO GEAR VERY HARD. OUR SEQUOIA HAS APPROXIMATELY 65-66,000 MILES; I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE. AS I REVIEW THE INTERNET, OTHER SEQUOIA OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AS WELL.

WHEN DRIVING OUR 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 LIMITED, SOMETIMES WHILE GOING STRAIGHT BUT USUALLY AFTER A TURN, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT (LITTLE SKIDDING CAR ICON) FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD AND ALL POWER IS LOST - YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, A SEVERE GRINDING SOUND IS HEARD, SOME OF THE TIME, WHEN SLOWING TO TURN (NOT USING BRAKE PRESSURE). THIS STALLING HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ANY SUBSEQUENT TIME I ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT OUT, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW IT IS HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. THIS PAST WEEKEND, ALONE, WE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I, PREVIOUSLY, CONTACTED TOYOTA CORP. AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY WILL PUT MY INFORMATION INTO THEIR FILES, BUT HAVE NO REPORTS OF ANY SUCH INCIDENTS. HOWEVER, LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THE 2003 SEQUOIA WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A COLLISION, DUE TO A POWER LOSS: AS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC OR AVOID OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT I THINK TOYOTA IS AWARE OF BUT DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. LOOKING AT SEVERAL TOYOTA FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR MOST OWNERS. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

STARTED CAR AND HEAR A LOUD WHINING NOISE BUT NO LIGHTS CAME ON. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE WHINING NOISE WAS NOT HEARD WHEN STARTING CAR BUT TRAC OFF, VSC LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WERE ALL ON. TOOK THE TRUCK TO MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED THE BATTERY AND FLUSHED THE BRAKE FLUID. LIGHTS WERE OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MORE STARTS OF THE TRUCK AND ALL LIGHTS WERE BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE KEPT THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS, CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD HIM TO REPLACE THE AIR INJECTION DRIVER. THIS WAS DONE 12 NOV 10 AND BY 13 NOV 10 ALL LIGHTS ARE BACK ON AGAIN AND THE TRUCK IS HAVING ISSUES PICKING UP SPEED. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APRIL 2010, ITS NOW NOVEMBER 2010 WITH NO RESOLUTION. MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA TRAC OFF, VSC TRAC, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WHILE THE LIGHTS WERE ON SO THE DEALER COULD PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER. NO CODES SHOW UP. I AM TOLD THAT IT'S NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE TOYOTA CERTIFIED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THEY RECALLED THE 2003 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO DO THE SAME FOR THE 05. REPAIR COST FOR THIS IS $2200.00. *TR

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING A RAPID BRAKING MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SURGED FORWARD UPON ACCELERATION REQUIRING APPLYING THE BRAKES TO STOP THE SUDDEN LURCHING FORWARD. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER A TEN DAY PERIOD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. SHE SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND ALLOWED IT TO ROLL FORWARD AND STOP. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING SHE TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE RPMS BEGAN TO INCREASE EXCESSIVELY FORCING HER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED ON TOW OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,195.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA BRAND NEW. IT HAS EXCESSIVE TREAD WEAR ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TIRES. WE ARE GOING ON OUR 3RD SET OF TIRES. THE ORIGINAL ONES WERE REPLACED AT 28K AND WE ARE HAVING TO BUY NEW ONES AT 66K. WE HAVE BEEN DILIGENT IN ROTATING OUR TIRES AND HAVING THE ALIGNMENTS DONE. IN 2007 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LOWER BALL JOINT FOR THE FRONT SUSPENSION. WE COMPLAINED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AT THAT TIME ABOUT THE UNEVEN WEAR ON OUR TIRES, AND COULD IT BE CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE BALL JOINT. THEY DISAGREED AND SAID THAT IT WAS FROM NOT TAKING CARE OF OUR VEHICLE. WE TOLD THEM THAT WE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT THE RECOMMENDED TIMES. THEY SAID THE CAR WAS FINE, THE TEST FOR THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE SO IT HAD TO BE THE DRIVER. SINCE THEN I HAVE CHECKED OUT OTHER 2005 SEQUOIA'S AND NOTICED THE SAME WEAR PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO GONE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS REGARDING THIS SUBJECT AND HAVE FOUND THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. AT WHAT POINT IS TOYOTA GOING TO DO SOMETHING? IS A CAR GOING TO HAVE TO BLOW OUT A TIRE AND KILL SOMEONE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DEFECT? OUR TIRES ARE BALD ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TREAD BUT STILL HAVE ANOTHER 25K MILES IN THE MIDDLE. I AM EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS GOING AROUND CORNERS BECAUSE THE TRACTION CONTROL GOES INTO EFFECT. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THE RESPONSE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION. WHEN I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE WITH TOYOTA, I WAS TOLD," THAT IT IS NORMAL TO ONLY GET 26K MILES OUT OF YOUR TIRES. YOU CAN'T COMPARE YOUR SEQUOIA WITH THE TAHOE OR EXPLORER." I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA IN 2010 AND THE DEALERSHIP IN 2008 AND I FEEL THAT IT IS BEING BRUSHED UNDER THE RUG.THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE ARE SPENDING ON TIRES AND ALIGNMENTS IS FRUSTRATING. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE TO BE FIXED SO THAT THE TIRES HAVE AN EVEN WEAR PATTERN AND LAST LONGER THAN 26K MILES. *TR

VSC TRAC---VSC--CHECK ENGINE LIGHT--AND THEN PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA THE BRAKE LIGHT AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO REASON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED AND THEY TIGHTENED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD IT CAME BACK ON, SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW BRAKE COMPUTER SYSTEM, SO WE REPLACED IT, THAT EVENING THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, ONE OF THE GUYS ADMITTED HE KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM BUT B/C NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. SO THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED AND WE WORRY ABOUT OUR FAMILIES SAFETY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

SCREW HOLDING TOGGLE MECHANISM FOR LATCH STRAPS IN SUNSHINE KIDS MONTEREY BOOSTER PULLED AWAY FROM BASE, CAUSING TOGGLE MECHANISM TO RECEDE INTO THE BOOSTER BODY- MAKING IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE SEAT FROM VEHICLE. (NEITHER "SUNSHINE KIDS" NOR "MONTEREY" IS LISTED ON THE "RESTRAINT TYPE" BOX IN THE NEXT PAGE). I AM A CPST AS WELL AS A FIREFIGHTER AND PARAMEDIC. THIS PARTICULAR SEAT RESTRAINS THE CHILD WITH THE VEHICLE'S LAP AND SHOULDER BELT, AS IT IS A BELT-POSITIONING BOOSTER. HOWEVER, THIS SEAT ALSO HAS A LATCH SYSTEM TO SECURE THE SEAT TO THE VEHICLE SO THAT THE SEAT ITSELF DOES NOT BECOME A PROJECTILE IF NOT BUCKLED INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN NOT IN USE. I HAVE MARKED ANSWERS TO FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO REFLECT THAT THE SEAT WAS INSTALLED WITH LATCH, BUT DO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SEAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED (SECURING CHILD WITH LAP AND SHOULDER BELT), AND HAVE ALWAYS USED IT 100% CORRECTLY. THE CHILD IN QUESTION IS 9 YEARS OLD AND 58 POUNDS. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2005, MAKE=TOYOTA, MODEL=SEQUOIA). *TR

BRAKE, VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF, AND ABS LIGHTS ALL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALY. VSC LIGHT SHOWS ON AND OFF. ALL THREE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. TRACTION CONTROL IS ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. I AM RELUCTANT TO TAKE IN TO THE SHOP, SINCE MANY OF THE COMPAINTS HAVE SPENT MUCH $$ AND NO RESULTS. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE THE 2003 MODELS WERE HAVING, WHICH TOYOTA RECALLED THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON ALL MODELS AND ALL YEARS THAT ARE AFFECTED. THIS VEHICLE IS USED BY MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS. IT IS STRESSFUL KNOWING THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD POTENTIALLY HARM MY FAMILY. *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 ON DRY SURFACE, SOMETIMES GOING STRAIGHT, SOMETIMES DURING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL ALARM BEGINS TO GO OFF AND THE CORRESPONDING LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. ALL POWER IS LOST - I CANNOT ACCELERATE OR EVEN BRAKE, I CAN ONLY TURN THE WHEEL. SOMETIMES, IN ADDITION, A SEVERE GRINDING SOUND IS HEARD, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT I TOUCH THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED, SUDDENLY, ABOUT TWENTY TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. ONE DAY IT HAPPENED FIVE TIMES WITHIN A FIFTEEN MINUTE PERIOD. I HAVE FOUR SMALL CHILDREN, AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. WE ALL COULD BE KILLED SHOULD IT HAPPEN WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS UNAVOIDABLE. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TWO DAYS LATER AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW YAWR SENSOR. *TR

SUPER LATCH STRAP OF SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL IS LOOSENING OVER TIME AND MUST CONSTANTLY BE DOUBLE CHECKED OR REINSTALLED SECURELY. I AM A CPST AND DO NOT TRUST THIS SEAT TO REMAIN SECURELY AND CORRECTLY INSTALLED. THE NORMAL LATCH STRAP MADE BY SKJP (SUNSHINE KIDS JUVENILLE PRODUCTS) HAS A PUSH-BUTTON RELEASE MECHANISM TO ALLOW THE STRAP TO BE LOOSENED. THE SUPERLATCH STRAP HAS A METAL TAB THAT MUST ONLY BE LIFTED- AND CAN BE BUMPED BY CHILDREN'S FEET OR WILL COME LOOSE ON IT'S OWN OVER TIME. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2005, MAKE=TOYOTA, MODEL=SEQUOIA). *TR

TRAC OFF, VSC TRAC AND BRAKE LIGHT ON. ALL THREE LIGHTS COME AND GO AT WILL. I HAD SIMLAR PROBLEM DURING WARRANTY. FOR LAST 2 YEARS IT HAS COME AND GONE. BUT THIS TIME IT IS MORE ON THAN OFF FOR LAST 10 DAYS. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN DISAPPEARED. TWO DAYS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RIDE ROUGH LIKE IT NEED A TUNE-UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE UNTIL I REACHED HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT, VSC OFF AND VSC TRAC ALL CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS RIDING REALLY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE SO THEY COULD LOOK AT BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA SO THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS CARBON BUILD UP AROUND THE CYLINDERS, SO THEY CLEANED ALL EIGHT CYLINDERS BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR IT. THE FINALE SOLUTION WAS FOR THEM TO TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE. THEY CLAIMED THAT PISTON #3 WASN'T WORKING AT ITS FULL CAPACITY AFTER RUNNING A COMPRESSION TEST BUT THEY'RE NOT 100% SURE. THE COST FOR THEM TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF WOULD BE $862 AND ANOTHER $862 TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER PLUS WHAT EVER REAL PROBLEM IS. THE SERVICE GUY AT TOYOTA SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THREE SIMILAR PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND IT COST THE CUSTOMER AROUND $3000. MY DVD PLAYER WASN'T WORKING SO THE TECH TESTED IT AND STATED THAT POWER WAS GOING TO IT AND THAT IT SHOULD WORK. THREE WEEKS LATER THE DVD PLAYER WORKED BUT NOW MY BACK WINDOW DIDN'T. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON FOR THE BACK WINDOW THE BACK WIPER COMES ON. *TR

A WEEK AFTER A 36000 MILE SERVICE AND NOT USED FOR A WEEK, WHEN FINALLY DRIVEN, MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE THE EMERGENCY LIGHT AND THE TRACTION DASH LIGHTS CAME. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND COMPUTER. I'M BAFFLED THIS UNIT(S) WOULD NEED REPLACING AT 36 THOUSAND MILES. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE FIRST DEALER'S VISIT TWO WHEEL STUDS WERE PLACED DUE TO RUST. IT'S VERY DISTURBING NOT KNOWING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT. THE VEHICLE IS USED ONLY FOR LONG DISTANCE TREKKING. *TR

OUR VSC/TRAC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT SIMULTANEOUSLY COME ON FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. OUR MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND A SOLUTION. OUR EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF FOR NO NECESSARY REASON AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIX IT. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THE BAD EXPERIENCES POSTED ONLINE WHERE CONSUMERS HAVE RECEIVED MANY VARYING ANSWERS, EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, AND IN SOME CASE, STILL NO SOLUTION. WE ARE IN THE MARKET TO BUY A NEW CAR AND IT MAKES RESALE VERY DIFFICULT WITH THESE LIGHTS ON AND NO ANSWER AS TO WHY THEY ARE ON... AND NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF... SO WE WAIT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER 2005 SEQUOIAS. OUR COMPUTER KEEPS THROWING VARYING AND DIFFERENT ERRORS... AND MY MECHANIC THINKS THE ERRORS ARE NOT ACCURATE. COULD IT BE A COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION? PLEASE HELP. *TR

I HAVE A 05 TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAD SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON MY CAR IN EARLY AUGUST TWO DAYS LATER MY SKID CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN FOLLOWED BY A BRAKE LIGHT. WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER THEY SAID THE TILT HAD TO BE ZERO CALIBRATED. THE SAME DAY AFTER LEAVING THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE SKID LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON MORE FREQUENTLY AND I GOT A LITTLE WORRIED FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. I RETURNED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM AT A COST OF 840 WITH NO GUARANTEE TO FIX MY CAR. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO THEM TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE NOT SO SURE THAT WAS THE REAL PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE BREAK BOOSTER AND THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE A FURTHER LOOK. THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE CALLED TO CHECK ON MY CAR THEY INFORMED US THEY HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT THEY DID REPLACE THE SKID SYSTEM AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ONLY GENERATED DIFFERENT CODES. THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO KEEP MY CAR TO COMPARE IT TO THE OTHER CARS CODES. I STILL AM WAITING TO HEAR WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I FEEL THE MANAGER OF THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I LIVE KNOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND ALL BUT TELLING ME IT WAS NOT GOING TO FIX MY ISSUE. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND WE ALL LEAVE FOR THE BEACH IN THREE WEEKS AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION. THE 03 SEQUOIA WAS RECALLED FOR ALMOST THE SAME THING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD BE DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FULL IN FRONT OF ANYBODY DUE TO THIS. I FULL OUT ONTO A ROAD AND MY CAR STALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND TOYOTA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.... THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND MY VSC TRAC, VSC OFF AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING UP FROM OUR GARAGE WE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND FELT THE VIBRATING GRINDING. SO I LOOK IT UP ON THE MANUAL AND IT TELLS US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS CLOSED SO I LOOKED ONLINE TO RESEARCH IT AND FOUND THAT MAY PEOPLE WITH SEQUOIA'S BETWEEN THE YEARS 2003-2005 ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE 5 KIDS AND I WOULD HATE FOR ME TO EXPERIENCE A BAD SCENARIO WHILE DRIVING. THERE'S MANY COMPLAINTS SO I DON'T SEE WHY IT IS NOT BEING RECALLED. *TR
