36 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2007

Vsc, abs,brake lights flashing and abs light stayed on two of the times while other lights went off this happened 4 -5 times making the car unable to drive. Also I went sliding through a stop sign unable to brake. Lost total control of vehicle while trying to stop. 3) had it towed to dealer in moline, illinois. They could not find a problem. Two weeks later, it happened again and I had it towed to dealer again in moline, illinois and they still have the vehicle. They are having trouble diagnosing the problem. They have replaced a computer in front thus far. Note: the service rep. Is working on this problem diligently. However, this is a serious problem and a major safety issue. It has happened to hundreds of Toyota Sequoia owners, therefore, I am speaking out in hopes you will take notice in efforts to correct this problem and avoid killing innocent people.

38 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2006

The vsc off, vsc trac and the brake lights comes on intermittently and sometimes even make weird noises. Took it to the dealer way back when the car was only a few months old for a couple of times but of course, they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So now that the car is much older and the light is on almost constantly and I found this site so I want to put in a complain hoping Toyota would listen and take care of their customers.

40 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2005

The brake light constantly goes on and off. I notice the light permanently stays on after leaving the freeway when the engine slows down (not even stepping on the brakes yet). Then, the light doesn't disappear until after the engine is powered off. We brought the vehicle in when in warranty and stated the problem. The first 3 years, all they did was inspect the brake system but nothing was done. We were verbally given an example what they did for a previous customer (changed all the sensors and the system board) but still no fix. At the last service check, another service rep said, don't worry about it because we checked the brakes and they're okay and this is a common problem. These last two weeks (off and on) at the intersection waiting for the red light to turn green, I notice the brake lights are on and suddenly the engine is trying to accelerate and then it stops.
