No accident. Just frame issues. If you can. Can I please get a voucher for frame repair. I really like this SUV. Thank you!.
Tl the contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle control, abs, vcs, traction control, and stability warning indicators illuminated. The failures caused the vehicle to brake intermittently. The contact had to turn the vehicle off and on in order to resume normal operation. The vehicle was taken to groove Toyota (5460 s broadway, englewood, CO 80113, (303) 800-9063) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failures was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired and the failures recurred multiple times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 100,056.
Warning lights on the dash board come on periodically for no apparent reason. I maintain the car properly with regular oil changes and manufacturer recommended service. They go off on their own. My mechanic has no idea what causes this. It happens standing still, in motion or just by starting the vehicle.
Vsc trac, vsc off, trac, emergency brake & abs lights are all illuminated. Seems like every Sequoia 2001 - 2005 has this problem. After lots of research it seems like it's a fault with the vsc computer and ecu computer which dealers want $2000 and up! these malfunctions in computers affect the vehicles abs brakes, and stability control system which poses a threat to safety of driver and passengers.
My vsc trac, vsc off, brake, & abs lights won't turn off.
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the traction light illuminated as the front passenger tire seized. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the abs, logic, and control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 177,000.
The vsc trac lights have came on and will not go off.
Wife was pulling off from a stoplight when the traction control system light (skidding car icon) and warning buzzer came on and the vehicle started making a loud grinding sound, vibrating, and pulling to the right. She pulled the vehicle over, turned it off, and called me to come swap vehicles with her. When I started the car, of course, the symptoms had gone away. Several days later on a family trip, I was driving the vehicle on the interstate at 65-70 mph when the vehicle did the same thing she had described. We pulled over, the noise stopped, and then the vsc/trac and trac off came on. This should be a recall fix. Too many vehicles have had this problem, over several production years (2003's actually have a recall for a similar issue). However, reading various forums has made me think Toyota doesn't even know the root cause of this. But it's definitely a safety issue that needs to be checked out.
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that the vehicle stability control and track warning lights illuminated. The contact lost control of the vehicle as the steering wheel haphazardly pulled to the right. The failure was experienced several times and even when the vehicle engine was turned off. The vehicle would reset independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was advised that without the lights illuminated when the diagnostic was performed then the vehicle could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 125,000 and the current mileage was 126,000.
The Sequoia vsc trac,vsc off sensor lights turning on and off and hearing grinding noise,and lose power. And the roll over system light come on.
Vsc/trac control system engaged while driving on smooth dry road at 70 mph. Vehicle began to lurch and brake, had to guide to side of road. Extremely dangerous. Turned vehicle off, restarted, vsc off light and check engine light were on. Has happened multiple times since, with Toyota indicating that vsc computer needs to be replaced for $1200+.
When traveling at any speed the two warning lights concerning the trac control on the the dash comes on and beeps several times, the vehicle suddenly brakes and pulls hard to the right temporarily losing control. All this happens in a split second with no warning. I am very concerned with my safety along with my families and others on the road concerning this safety defect.
Toyota loses power w/o warning. Vsc/trac lights on. . . As well as abs and check engine. Very dangerous. . . After researching, looks like it's super common.
With no prior warning symptoms, the "vsc trac" "vsc off" brake" and abs" light come on in my 2001 Toyota Sequoia. It started about 2 weeks ago just once in a while, but now it happens almost every time I put the car in motion. It seemed to me at first that it happened most frequently when the weather is cold (the high 30s is about as cold as it ever gets here, though. ) this is a problem that has been reported by many others. .

We were driving down the hill and the traction control system went crazy we skidded out and then the abs and traction control/slip lights went on. They stayed on until we took it to the dealer and they replace some brake sensors that were corroded. On the way home it happened again. The traction control computer was reporting that there were still bad sensors, but the sensors were fine, so they replaced the entire traction control computer. After a week in the shop it finally came back working. A traction control system should not throw your car out of control and run you off the road. The dealer said that they had not seen so much corrosion under a vehicle before. They said that the frame, exhaust, spare tire, and brake components as well as various other electrical components looked to have what they would call excessive corrosion. They said I should take it up with whom I bought it from. I think this is the same problem as the tundras are having with corrosion and should be looped into the same investigation. The Sequoia, I was told when I bought it, was designed on the same frame, and drive train as the tundra which would explain why the corrosion is effecting similar braking systems and the spare. I would love for someone to investigate this. I would have hated for anything to happen to my family which was in the car with me.
During normal driving vsc, trac control and brake lights all lit up. Lights go off and come back on intermittently. I have been on edmunds website and see too many other people with this exact issue. It will cost on the average over $1,000 to correct. My vehicle is no longer covered under warranty and is too young and expensive to have this issue. This is something that I feel Toyota should recall.
Vsc, trac and brake lights have been consistently on since 2004.
The front braking system on 2001 Sequoia was replaced and upgraded. The brake jobs were performed at the following mileages: 15k, 25k, 30k, 55k, and 74k miles. The left wheel rattled over the rough road, the rear left strut made a noise when going over bumps due to a broken shock, and the engine light had come on.
Automatic driver's side window slid inside door-could not roll up or down. Intermittent problems with locking mechanism on rear door (liftgate). Sometimes I can't unlcok it with my key-I have to unlock from inside at the driver's master control.
The check engine, vsc, and traction lights on my 2001 Toyota Sequoia all came on simultaneously at 82,000 miles, I was told that I need to replace the transmission for $3800. 00 and the computer needs replacing for about $2000. 00. The brakes have been constant struggle requiring replacement every 8 months.
