After several years of fighting problems with, after braking to a brief stop, the loss of power/abs grinding when accelerating and turning right, now the ABS is completely dysfunctional. Both TRC lights will turn on and usually the parking brake, and when braking at speeds less than 10mph the abs will activate and prevent bring the truck to a stop without pumping them, on dry pavement. When the ABS light turns on, then braking is possible, but all pressure is gone from brake booster and brakes sound like they're grinding, not like the sound of abs engaging. Very dangerous to drive in snow as front brakes work but drive axle doesn't disengage when the brake pedal is depressed. Regular mechanic won't engage with diagnosing issues as he feels the problem is partly computer malfunction and Toyota won't allow for used part mismatching. ABS/ECU is failed.

Brake, vsc trac, trac off, and ABS lights all come on intermittently while driving and stay on until the car is turned off and restarted. Seems to be a very common problem according to the forums.

- Danville, CA, USA

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. While driving approximately 60-65 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The brakes failed to slow down the vehicle. The contact was able to use the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake booster failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the part was no longer being manufactured. Hutchinson Toyota of albany (located at 2865 ledo rd, albany, ga 31707, (229) 436-7751) was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 242,000.

When backing up or sometimes slowing down moving forward the vcs lights all come on and the brakes automatically engage (quickly and with a grinding sound) and the car moves to the right and stops abruptly.

I get constant warning lights for brake, vsc and trac. This is a very common problem with the Sequoia. It shuts down those safety features.

Code 1223 1247 1360 brake light trac off vsc trac all come on this seams to be problem with thousands of 2003 - 2005 Sequoia brake sometimes make noise so you not sure brakes are good when car in motion Sequoia has 78000 miles

Without warning, the brake, vsc, and traction control lights will all illuminate. After this happens and the brakes are applied, the ABS makes a screeching sound, the brakes lock up and then are lost completely. Usually requires a rapid response of downshifting and/ or using the parking brake to avoid collisions. This problem happens every 6-10 times it is driven. Many times there are no warnings at all, the dash lights happens instantaneously with the brake failure. Sometimes restarting the vehicle will make a stop but it is no guarantee. This has been happening for over five years with no explainable cause from my mechanic.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. The contact, who was an independent mechanic, stated that the battery did not charge and the ABS indicator remained illuminated. The mechanic diagnosed and replaced the alternator, and reprogrammed the computer system. The mechanic stated that the vehicle was repaired, but the ABS indicator remained illuminated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Vsc trac, trac off, and parking park light warning lights will illuminate seemingly randomly while driving. When the car is stopped and turned off and then on again the warning lights are no longer on. Dealership has been unable to properly diagnosis the problem. They have charged over $4,000 to replace various parts of the brake system but the problem persists. I am concerned the brake system will not properly function when this condition exists.

- Kalamazoo, MI, USA

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.

My vehicle's traction control light was coming on periodically, and when that would happen the engine would cut out, & I would not be able to accelerate. I took it in to get it repaired. After the repairs I was driving at about 20 mph, and as I was breaking to turn a corner the ABS, vbs, brake and traction control lights came on. My breaks made a grinding noise, the car began to shake, there were no breaks or steering control, and the engine cut out. This was very dangerous as I had no control and was on a city street in front of a park with children, and I had my son with me. Luckily I wasn't going very fast as the speed limit is 25 mph, and I was approaching the park and my street to turn on to. I was able to get stopped by hitting a curb but couldn't get control of the vehicle otherwise.

I experienced a problem with engine warning and vsc trac off lights going on. The check engine light also came on. My family and I were on a trip and our Sequoia all of a sudden lost power. It slowed down dramatically even though the engine was fine. It was a very dangerous situation because we were on an interstate where the speed is 70 mph. I also experienced all the brakes making a massive grinding noise while going slow into a restaurant. (the brakes have less than 3000 miles on them.) the parking brake light also comes on periodically.

- Sebastian, FL, USA

Depressing the brakes - even lightly when slowing intermittently activates the ABS along with a loud buzzing mechanical noise. As such, I'm not able to slow as quickly with the ABS deployed. Mechanic reports this is related to tsb - but no recall yet.

- Orlando, FL, USA

The vsc trac, vsc off, brake, and ABS lights all come on all at once. This has happened numerous times since I first bought the used SUV in May 2013. It worries me as I am on the freeway not knowing what will happen. Not sure how this will affect my vehicle in the long run. It normally comes on when I drive the vehicle for more than one hour at a crawling speed. For example, there have been times the freeway hits a rush hour moment and everyone will start rolling/crawling with their vehicles. As this happens, the lights will come on at least two times in a 30 minutes to one hour time frame.

- Apo, AP, USA

While driving, the check engine light, vsc light, brake light all came on. Vehicle would not accelerate past 40 mph. Diagnostic codes C1223, C1247, C1310 came back. Checking the internet, this is a common issue with this vehicle and a recall should be issued.

- Turlock, CA, USA

Tonight when backing out of my driveway I heard a loud grinding noise and my brake pedal was very hard to push. The brake light, trac off and vsc trac lights all were on. I parked the vehicle and cycled the engine and as soon as I drove away it happened again. I have had problems with just the brake light coming on then going off after turning off the key but this is the first time all 3 have come on and I have had no brakes at all. I have researched and noticed this is a common problem and yet Toyota has failed to issue a recall on this problem. I was very lucky my wife was not driving the car with my daughter in the vehicle.

- Queen Creek, AZ, USA

I was traveling about 30 mph and the vsc off, vsc trac, E brake light all came on at the same time and will not shut off. They have been on for about a week now. Cannot get them to turn off.

- Absecon, NJ, USA

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that the brake warning light illuminated. In addition, the vsc track off and the check engine warning lights illuminated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.

Within the first two weeks, after purchasing the vehicle, the "brake" light, "vsc trac" light, and "trac off" light came on and there was a terrible grinding sound when attempting to stop. It was very hard to stop but luckily I was in a parking lot when it happened the first time. The "brake" light has continued to come on multiple times per week since may of 2015 and the other two lights still come on occasionally. In fact, on my 800 foot drive back from picking up my lunch today, the "brake" light was on. Each time the other 2 come on, it causes the breaks to grind and it is very hard to stop. There was just over 120,000 miles on the vehicle at purchase. I have read numerous forums online stating issues with this model, 2004, and 2003 models for the same issue but Toyota has refused to do a recall and expects customers to pay for something is obviously an issue throughout these particular models. I think something needs to be done about this issue. I believe it is a safety concern Toyota needs to be responsible for!!!
