Vsc and trac light and check engine light on. These lights are always on. Occasionally brake will make a grinding noise and pedal will go to floor. This happens while trying to stop.

A recall that I feel is warranted for toyota to attend to which is vsc off/trac off and check engine light all on. I have countlessely researched why this happens and spent a lot of money trying to fix it but still no luck. There are a lot of complaints on the internet about this issue. Please help and push this recall from toyota. Thanks!

Check engine light come on. Along with 2 other lights. This has occurred over 10 to 12 times since owning this SUV. Each time it is noted on my paper work no leaks found and gas cap replaced. I have spent each time on a average $578 at least for a gas cap after they have checked out the car. I even had this problem when the car was under warranty but of course no charge then. I notice other toyota vehicles have recall on this check engine lights. I think the sequoia should get included in this it is the same thing. I can only imagine how much money owners of these suvs have paid out because of this. I notice this check engine light came on after I put gas in. The light will not go off until you take in it in to the dealership who then charges you the $578 or more it simply ripping the consumer off

Vsc trac, vsc off and check engine lights come on and will not go off. Have had this happen before years ago. Searched and this is a common problem that needs to be addressed. Lights came as vehicle was in motion.

My engine light comes on then the vsc and trac control light . I clear codes but they return. I'm afraid to drive this vehicle since we use it mainly to pull our boat .

Vsc trac light and trac off lights on. Also service engine light on. Won't shut off. Brake light also comes on and then off for no reason. I see on complaint list this is issue for many years but toyota refuses to recall vehicles. Maybe not enough injuries or deaths or law suits yet. Not a good way toyota treats customers. Toyota should recall and fix vehicles that have built in - designed in defects. Very disappointing. Also a couple years ago the front ball joint broke...luckily driving slowly and not on the highway.

Yes, we just purchased this used 04 sequoia from a private party seller and everything was fine the first month we drove it then the vsc light and the trac off light came on. Now the check engine light is on and we had it tested at autozone for free. The testing showed a bad o2 sensor. The car still drives fine its just the lights are on. Its really irritating. I googled it and read a bunch of customer complaints about this same issue. I read that the 03 sequoias were recalled for these issues.

Recently the traction control lights have come on and I am told the ecu needs replacing. Also at the same time the check engine light came on. I am being told by dealer that ecu will need to be replaced that it is a common problem with the vehicle and he repaired many.
