1 Battery Dead problem of the 2006 Toyota Sequoia

Failure Date: 09/03/2009

Vehicle battery dies if the ignition is in the accesory position for 20 to 30 minutes, with just the radio on. I have brought to Toyota several times since October 2009. Battery was replaced one time. I have since been told that there does not seem to be a problem. I was even told one time that I would need a seperate marine battery hooked up in order to listen to the vehicle radio. I have never owned a vehicle that you could not listen to the radio with the ignition in the accessory position for atleast 3 plus hours. Something is drawing on this battery. It makes no sense.

2 Battery Dead problem of the 2001 Toyota Sequoia

Failure Date: 07/03/2009

We bought our 2001 Toyota Sequoia in July 2009. While driving home from the used car lot the "vsc trace" and the "vsc off" lights came on and have never gone back off. The car lot said that the vehicle was "as is" and we had to deal with it. After having the vehicle for a month, the "cruise control" light started coming on, blinking at times, then it would turn off for a week or so, then it would come on steady and blink at times for days straight. One day while driving the "brake" light, "vsc trac" light, "vsc off" light, the "door ajar" light, and the "cruise" light all came on and blinked rapidly while driving. After pulling over and turning off the car and back on, they were still blinking. I turned it off and on many times and they all continued to blink. After getting home and letting it sit over night, they didn't come back on. Currently the "vsc trac" and the "vsc off" light are still on. The "cruise control light is also on. After turning off the vehicle and removing the keys the "key" light stays on, blinking non-stop and the running lights stay on. Sometimes I can restart the car and the running lights will stay off after removing the keys and locking the doors. I couldn't get them off last weekend and tried everything, finally the battery died, after I got a jump start, they turned off. We continuously have problems with the dash board indicator lights and the running lights staying on.
