2 Software problem of the 2018 Toyota Sequoia

Failure Date: 02/02/2018

I am having a recurrent problem with my 2018 Sequoia in that I am consistently getting warning lights and alarms going off for �brake warning,� rear cross traffic alert, �blind spot monitor malfunction� and �front camera malfunction. � it has been in the shop 5 times and they keep saying there are computer gliches and keepnupdating the software over and over again. Toyota sent down a tech from denver to take a look at it and instead of repairing the problem, they have disarmed all of my alarms because what they said was that they were set too sensitive?! this is a huge safety issue as two of the times that the �brake warning� flashes the truck starts to slow itself down. What if this happens when an 18-wheelerbis behind me? the brake lights don't come on to let them know that my vehicle is slowing down!! I am very scared of driving this vehicle and Toyota says it's safe to drive? I'm at a loss as what to do now given that all of these software updates are being done and alarms are disabled I feel like I'm driving in a vehicle that is unsafe!!.

5 Software problem of the 2003 Toyota Sequoia

Failure Date: 07/14/2007

I am another victim of the ongoing problem for 2003 Toyota Sequoia, vcs traction control light on. So this past weekend being on a trip the light come on and we took it to the dealership and gaves us a surprise repair $1,448. 50 for part 89541-0c062 and 896300c011 $751. 54 so with labor some in the 2,500 dls. So I told the service guy what was the risk of driving this unit like that. In my own words is like having an 1980's suburban. My husband did a research on the internet on tundrasulutions etc. And there are a lot of cases of this problem arousing around 40,000 miles or less. We have a 4 year old son and we are "scared" to drive this truck without of any of the safety features now I was told that the traction control computer and the main computer needed to replace and that this will disable abs and traction controls. So this means that I have a 1980 suburban. We are very upset because we call Toyota and they can't do anything about it, they refer me to the dealership service manager that probably can offer me a discount outside warranty. We need NHTSA to start investigating this issue there are thousands of users that already paid for this repair that don't even know how to file a complaint. Don't let this issue get out of hand, please don't waint until there are people hurt. My truck is worth around 14,000 the repair is 2500 the repair is 18% worth of the whole vehicle. Toyota knows about this problem if they sell a car with defective parts they should replace it.
