Defective ABS system since initial purchase. At first, an intermittent problem but now a safety hazard. Brake light, vsc light &trac light constantly are on & now on several occasions going only 10 MPH brakes are affected where there is a loud grinding noise & brakes don't function properly. I was told the yaw sensor would take care of this costing $880, but it didn't; now its the skid control another $875 which I agreed to & when calling to get status of my car, I'm told it didn't fix the issue & now it's the booster another $1,000 which I'm not paying. This should be a recall as this is issue makes it a very unsafe vehicle to drive. My car is still sitting in the shop and I don't know what to do at this point.

I was on the freeway and started to change lanes, when I saw a damaged area on the freeway drove over it and the light for trac control light, vsc light, and ABS light were all on. Then I exited to check for any visible problems nothing that I could notice. So I stated to research about this and found forums to see what I can find out. This is a big problem from what I see. Do your part to get things done with this dangerous problems.

The ABS actuator on my 2003 toyota sequoia sr5 caught fire as I was driving home. The first sign of trouble was when I pulled out of a parking spot and switched from reverse to drive and was temporarily unable to accelerate. The brake pedal also shuddered before I regained acceleration. One mile down the road, at a speed of approx. 30 MPH, 3 warning lights on the dash illuminated (vsc light, ABS light, brake light) followed by the brake pedal going all the way to the floor by itself. Luckily, I wasn't rear-ended, but by this time, smoke was coming from under the hood. Upon further inspection, I could see flames coming from the actuator assembly. The fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was deemed a total loss due to the damage to the actuator assembly, wire harness, wiper motor and hood.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 toyota sequoia sr5. The contact stated that when trying to accelerate, the vehicle would not go to higher speeds and would decelerate independently. The acceleration would re-engage after several minutes. The vehicle was later taken to a dealer where they advised him that the vehicle was repaired under a manufacturer's recall for the reprogramming of the ecu. The dealer advised him that the engine control unit (ecu) and the ABS actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000. The current mileage was approximately 116,900. The VIN was unavailable.

I recently purchased a 2003 sequoia and have become aware that the vsc trac, vsc off, ABS lights always remain on. My mechanic ran the codes and has advised me that I need a new deceleration sensor. After some research online I see that I am not alone and so would like to voice my concern about this faulty sensor and ask that toyota give a response to why so many vehicles of this era have this specific problem.

Re: vsc trac, vsc off, brake, ABS lights... All on, all at once. How do we add our name to the complaint? I have a 2003 . Vsc & trac lights started coming on around 112800 k. I found out many people has the same issues and same problem with toyota sequoia. The lights continued to come on constantly I took it to the dealer & they said it needed 2 computers-$2700. I told them the problem was documented and asked them to contact toyota but to no avail. I hope the federal safety agency would do something about it.
