Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor Problems of Toyota Sequoia

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that when the brakes were engaged at an unknown speed, the pedal went to the floor as the abs and traction control warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was able to be pulled over and stopped. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it diagnosed that the abs hydraulic assembly, wheel speed sensor, stroke sensor, and engine control system had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however; the brake failure continued to recur. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicles actuator had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

Started with both vsc and trac lights on. In both warm and colder temperatures, the car abs engages. Feels like driving over gravel. Car pulls to one side or another, and braking seems almost impossible. This became more and more common. It started once every couple of months, to almost every trip. Toyota read codes and stated that it was yaw rate sensor that needed to be replaced. Over a cost of $1800. We changes it and the car acted normally for 1 day. A day later the lights came back on and the skidding occurred again. Even after replacing the yaw rate sensor and performing a 0-point calibration, they read the codes, and showed the following: c0371 yaw rate sensor output signal malfunction c1208 steering position sensor output signal malfunction c1234 malfunction in yaw rate sensor c1271 low output voltage of right front speed sensor c1272 low output voltage of left front speed sensor c1273 low output voltage of right rear speed sensor c1274 low output voltage of left rear speed sensor c1275 abnormal change in output voltage of right front speed sensor c1276 abnormal change in output voltage of left front speed sensor c1277 abnormal change in output voltage of right rear speed sensor c1278 abnormal change in output voltage of left rear speed sensor c1279 deceleration sensor is faulty c1281 master cylinder pressure sensor output signal is faulty they estimated that the cost of repairing all of these sensors was approx $4500. The likelihood that all of these sensors gave out at the same time, to me is highly unlikely. There has been numerous complaints about this car's braking system and this seems to be an exploit of yet another shortcoming of this car. Currently if the car sits idling for more than 10 mins, the vsc and trac lights come on regardless of temperature outside.

I own a 2003 Toyota Sequoia sr5 with 95000 miles. Vsc, trac, and abs lights came on. Dealership said that the codes are faulty ecu. Cost of repair was $1700. The following week lights came back on. This time they tell me it is a faulty speed sensor on the front right. They recalibrated the vehicle and said if it comes back the cost of the repair is $400. Following week, the lights come on, same code for the speed sensor, so I have it replaced. Two days later, the lights are back on. Not certain what will code this time. After reading several posts online, it looks like this is a recurring issue with this vehicle. So, I'm filing a complaint sense there hasn't been a recall.

The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. The abs warning light would illuminate on the instrument control panel, and then the vehicle would drift to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and he was advised that the abs sensor needed to be replaced. The current mileage was 60000. The failure mileage was 55000.

I own a 2004 Toyota Sequoia. I took it in for new tires,with balancing and an alignment. They also did brake work on the front. It needed caliper pins and the rotors were turned. It had 47,481 miles on it. When my wife left the dealership there was a failure of the vsc (vehicle stability control) system. The system never once before malfunctioned until after the service at the Toyota dealership. It is clear that the dealer messed something up. They claim they did nothing to cause it. We talked the head manager of the dealership. The manager denied that it could be in any way their fault. Is it possible that the service caused the failure? I don't know what Toyota has their mechanics do but someone needs to do a full investigation. The vehicle now is a hazard to drive. I currently can't afford the $1500 dollars to replace the computer. Could it be related to the kind of tires put on or dust or metal in the sensors? failure codes are c0210 (right rear wheel speed sensor signal malfunction, c1223 (abs control system malfunction) , and c1310 (active booster solenoid). The Sequoia's vsc light comes on often and the vehicle will not accelerate even when the pedal is pressed all the way to the floor. It has almost caused about 2 bad accidents. We currently drive it but don't rely on it for passing. If the system fails we just have to drive slow and stay in our lane. I do know that Toyota knows that this is a huge problem. They also use a different skid control computer in newer models. We need a recall. I have seen many references to this same exact problem. For the safety of our drivers please issue a recall. The manufacturer obviously didn't test the system before it was allowed on the market.
