Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 2003 Toyota Sequoia

On going problems with vsc. 2003 (41,000 miles) Toyota Sequoia has been to the dealership 3 times now for the vsc activating and brakes engaging while turning a corner in normal, dry conditions. From 3 mph to more than 15+ mph the vsc engages and brakes are applied. Very dangerous! dealership has fixed problem each of the 3 times. Car warranty is now over and problem persists. Dealership says for $1500. They will replace the vsc computer. . . Utter non-sense!!! very upset that Toyota continues to hide from this problem. While researching on line I have easily found hundreds of similar cases and complaints. . . . . Please do something!!!!!!.

Vsc/abs skid control ecu failure. The dealership is saying that my 2003 Toyota Sequoia limited 2 wd 53,500 miles needs a new abs computer at a cost of $3,600. Approximately 2 years ago I had the exact same thing happen, the car actually froze up and the dealership had it towed to their location to fix it, they said it was the third member and replaced that. Now the same thing is happening and they won't do anything.

2003 Sequoia limited vsc / trac control lights have been on almost continuously since 3/1/2007, indicating that the stability control and traction control were not functioning. At various times the abs kicked in even though the brakes were not applied. In wet conditions on 3/17/07, the SUV did not properly respond to brake or steering, causing the SUV to drift into the oncoming lane. Fortunately, there was no traffic in the lane at the time. This was a huge safety issue. At the dealer, codes c1241, c1231, c1223, and c1203 came up. Diagnosis - translate and skid control computers needed to be replaced. Toyota tsbs br002-03 and br003-03 appeared to be related, and lead me to believe there was a known flaw in computer logic.

The vsc & trac lights are on constantly on my 2003 Sequoia. My wife seems to lose control of the car when the brakes lock up at about 2-3 mph, especially when trying to make a right turn. This is extremely dangerous and I am concerned for her and my children (3) in the car should the accident occur due to this problem. I will take action in court against Toyota should they not fix it.

Vsc off ad vsc trac warning lights come on unexpectedly in 2003 Toyota Sequoia. Car often feels unstable for a moment when this happens. Dealer has looked at the problem several times and has been unable to identify or repair cause. Problem dates back to 2003.

The vsc and trac trouble lights are coming on. The car occasionally thinks that we are skidding out of control and begins pulsating the brakes. This is very dangerous. The failure codes in the computer indicate that the skid control ecu needs to be replaced. This is expensive and not covered by warranty, but should be covered by Toyota via a safety recall with an improved version. I have found a lot of complaints on the internet by owners having the same problem.

Vsc/abs skid control ecu failure is a know issue by every Toyota Sequoia owner, but Toyota claims that it's not an issue. This failure requires that vsc/abs skid control ecu be replaced. While vehicle is under warranty, Toyota will try to do anything and everything possible not to replace the part, but once the warranty expires and you bring the car for repairs, first thing they tell you is that you need a new ecu costing close to $3000. 00.

The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that the instrument panel lights remained illuminated. The dealer stated that the skid control ecu for the abs malfunctioned and they made the replacement. Approximately one year and seven months later, the failure recurred. The dealer repeated the repair and charged half the cost. The failure mileage was 38,000 and current mileage was 59,000. Updated 01/09/08. Updated 12/12/07.

The anti-skid control engaged when the consumer was driving on dry pavement under 25 mph.
