What owners say
Starting in december of 2014 my 2003 toyota sequoia has had the brake light coming on and when applying the breaks having shaking in the front end. I took my vehicle into toyota and they said it was the wheel speed sensor, ecu. They replaced the skid control ecu and the right rear speed sensor. Costing me 1196.90. Then in march the brake light started coming on and off again periodically. It is now october 2015 and on the way home from church the brake lights and vsc and traction control , and engine lights keep coming on. I was turning and the engine stalled and nearly died in one of the busiest intersections. I have since parked it in the driveway and will have to get someone over here to look at it because I do not feel safe or comfortable driving this vehicle.
I was driving and all of a sudden my check engine, vsc off, and the vsc trac lights came on and they won't turn off. Took it in to toyota dealer service the following date and they said it was an intermittent problem with the ecu and skid ecu computer board and that it may fix it? Is there a recall on this issue would like to know.
Vcs off light, vcs trac light and check engine light all came on at the same time and will not go off. .
Vcs off light, vcs trac light and check engine light all came on at the same time and will not go off. Understand there is a danger of crash due to this condition.
Trac off light comes on and engine light. This is twice this has happened.
2003 toyota sequoia. (cel) light on. Also (trac off) light on as well as (vsc trac) light on. Sometimes brake light and ABS light stay on for days . I had truck in shop 3 wks ago with this problem they said it was oxygen sensor 2 (I believe) had is replaced and light went off. Light is back on again 2 weeks later. Car sputters when accelerating. Doesn't feel safe to drive. Also 2 months prior I had the car in for routine maintenance. Fluids, filters, tires rotated, ect as usual.
I just purchased a used 2003 toyota sequoia a month ago from the dealer. Although, the vehicle comes under no warranty, I would like to file a defect that has been reported by other 2003 toyota sequoia owners. The problem - vsc trac light on, off, brake light , engine light stayed on. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was told that they changed the air/fue; sensor for the check engine light and the vsc trac light were cleared. However, driving the vehicle back home, vsc trac light on/off and brake light came on steady. I went on line to researched the cause and defect and found out that there are quite a few owners experiencing the problem I have. Please investigate and hoping to resolve this malfunction. Thanks.
Vsc/trac lights are on, engine light is on. Toyota dealer tells me this is a common problem with 2003 toyota sequoia but there's no recall. The internet is aflame with toyota sequoia owners, 2003 model, dealing with repeated fixes for the vsc/trac lights and engine lights that come on after 111,000 miles.
I own an early model 2003 toyota sequoia, I had the vsc, ESC and engine light activation, the car intermittently will not accelerate at the most dangerous times, is inconsistent and seems as though power is cut to the axle so I cannot pull away. I am aware of the recall and called toyotas hotline. They told me that the car was included in the recall and that I would get a letter for service in late may. Late may came and went and I waited until mid june for the letter and then called again when it didn't arrive. They now said that on further examination, the car was no longer recalled. Toyota wants an exhorbrant amount for the service, as it is a safety issue, it has to be done. Quite frankly, toyota was rude to me locally and the toyota recall hotline were rude. I don't understand how 67000 toyotas that were made in 2003, and 50000 were recalled mine is not included when it is demonstrating the exact problem the recall was instituted for. Sound criminal.
2003 sequoia : 1. Vsc and engine lights went on three times, have car in service dept, but no root cause has been identified. 2. Dealer charged for each repaired time , several parts have been replaced but the same problem reappeared after few months.
I own a 2003 toyota sequoia and have problems with the engine light going off and on due to the vsc/ABS trac light related to the skid control computer since I bought it brand new. Now the light stays on and it's a safety issue now that it is out of warranty. I only have 56,000 miles on my car. During an internet search I find that multiple owners have had the same problem and have either been in accidents or almost in an accident. There should be a recall on this problem due to it safety issue. It is also very costly and the toyota company doesn't seem to care. I have not been in an accident yet and hope I never will but it is safety concern.
