My wife was on freeway, driving our 2003 toyota sequoia limited 2wd, when vsc light lit up and a buzzer sounded. At the same time, her vehicle started to decelerate on its own, causing vehicles behind her to have to brake to keep from rear-ending her vehicle. This was accompanied by a horrific grinding and banging sound. My wife found a safer place to pull to the side of the freeway and stop the vehicle. A tow truck was called and vehicle was "flat-bed" towed to repair garage.

It was raining, I was going around a turn ,10 - 15 MPH the back tire started to spin, the vsc trac,vsc off,and ABS lights came on, this is after the trk. Went to the dealer to check out a recall on the vsc. They said it wasn't under a recall, we parked the sequoia and wont drive it until it's repaired, safety reasons, I moved it , tried to go over a curb on an angle and the right rear tire just was spinning on the asphalt road. This cant be good for the sequoia ,its 4 wheel drive, and its making a noise, in the drive train ,clunking?? It slides in the rain (bad ) and wont stop on wet roads very well , it slides to a stop. I don't have alot of time to research the vsc problem ,but it sounds like all the sequoia's 03-05 have the same problem, for the cost of this trk. I hope toyota will fix this problem.

I have a 2003 toyota sequoia and my vsc trac,vsc off lights stay on. I have been told it is the transmission however it is a defect from toyota. The ABS light and check engine light comes on as a result. I have seen lots of complaints on this issue as well and think that toyota should do a recall to fix this problem.

When shifting the transmission in to drive all the lights work effectively, but the light that indicates the vehicle is in the d position (drive) burns out. This is a safety problem that may cause an accident. This is a common problem that the dealer is aware of as a consistent defect.
