SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUE TO COME ON AND WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL I TURN OFF THE SUV. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEAL WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SUPPOSED TO HAVE RESET IT, HOWEVER, IT CAME BACK ON A WEEK LATER I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY KEPT IT ALL DAY TO FIX IT. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER KEEPING THE VEHICLE ALL DAY. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER COSBY BODY SHOP AND HE CHECKED THE SUV BUT COULD NOT SEE WHAT WAS WRONG SINCE THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. THE BRAKES DID NOT SHOW ENOUGHT SINIFICANT WARE OR TARE AND THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID IN THE BRAKE FLUID CLYDER HE DID NOT NEED TO ADD ANY. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT COMES ON AGAIN AND I DID. HE CHECKED AND DISCOVERED THAT IT MAYBE THE BRAKE SINCER. NOW, I AM CALLING TOYATO FOR ASSISTANCE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE A 2004 SEQUOIA AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VSC, TRAC, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY COMING ON FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. I ONLY HAVE 105,000 MILES. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF REGULARLY (MOSTLY ON MORE THAN OFF). HOWEVER WITH THE OTHER LIGHTS IT IS VERY RANDOM. UPON BRAKING, I WILL EXPERIENCE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND, THE CAR JERKS/WHIPLASH MOTION, THE CAR IS HARD TO STOP AND MANAGE AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON AFTER THIS OCCURS. IT ALL HAPPENS WITHIN 3-5 SECONDS TOTAL BUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IT MAY DO IT 2-3 MORE TIMES OR MIGHT NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR A WEEK OR EVEN AS LONG AS A MONTH. I SIMPLY WAS COASTING FROM A FAST FOOD SPEAKER TO THE WINDOW TO PAY AND I EXPERIENCED IT AND IT ALMOST PUSHED ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT HAS DONE IT WHEN BREAKING COMING UP TO A RED OR YELLOW LIGHT. I LET OFF THE BRAKE WHEN IT DOES IT AND PRESS AGAIN AND IT MAY DO IT 2-3 TIMES UNTIL I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR MIGHT NOT DO IT AGAIN ONCE I RELEASE THE BRAKE THE FIRST TIME. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT BECAUSE IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES, DIFFERENT PLACES, DIFFERENT BRAKING SPEEDS AND MIGHT NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR A WHILE. FOR 3 YEARS I HAVE PUT UP WITH THIS. I GO TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING CAN BE PROVEN UNLESS LIGHTS ON AT THAT TIME. WHEN I WENT TO THE FIRST PLACE I COULD GET TO BEFORE THEY WENT OFF THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A MACHINE AND 6 POSSIBLE PROBLEMS CAME UP. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2003-2004 MODELS AND YOU FIX ONE THING AND THATS NOT THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COMPUTER/BRAKE COMMUNICATION FLAW. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WITH THE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM INDIVIDUALS EVEN ON THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION BOARD PAGE THAT THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL. WE HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GUESS WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A COMPUTER OR MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. SOME LOSE VEHICLE POWER WITH IT. *TR

I RECEIVED A "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" NOTICE REGARDING CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND APPLICATION TO BE APPLIED TO MY 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS GIVEN A LOANER CAR FOR THE 4 DAYS THEY HAD MY VEHICLE, WHICH I WAS THANKFUL FOR. THEY SAID MY SEQUOIA'S FRAME WAS NOT RUSTED THROUGH AND APPLIED A VERY STICKY, MESSY , SHINY TAR-LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT NOW 6 DAYS LATER IS STILL NOT DRY. TOYOTA DEALER ALSO TOLD ME I NEEDED ABOUT $5000 IN REPAIRS (WHICH I BROUGHT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND FIXED FOR $380), BUT THAT'S NOT WHY I AM WRITING. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILYS SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SEQUOIA ON THE MANY TOYOTA FORUM WEBSITES AVAILABLE. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT ARE DISCUSSED IN THE FORUMS INCLUDING EXCESSIVE RUST INSIDE THE TAILGATE CAUSING THE TAILGATE WINDOW TO NOT OPERATE AND ALSO RUST SO BAD WE CAN'T EVEN USE THE HITCH ON OUR VEHICLE WHICH WAS THE MAIN REASON WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN WITH. IT IS A COMPLETE RUST BUCKET. *TR

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 IS SHOWING SOME LIGHTS IN DASHBOARD. FIRST IT WAS THE VSC SOLID LIGHT COMING ON THEN OFF ON IT OWN, AFTER SOME MONTHS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN OFF THEN SOLID ON, I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO GET IT CHECK OUT, AND THEY COULDN`T FIND WHAT IS MAKING THE AIRBAGS LIGHT TO COME ON. MORE RECENTLY, I STARTED HAVING A CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM AS WELL. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES WORK AND ALSO SOME OTHER TIME REFUSE TO WORK UNLESS YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THEN IT WILL SOMETIMES KICK -IN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING IT, WHEN IT DOES SO, THE SYSTEM WILL STILL BE RUNNING BUT SIMPLY WILL GET WEAK NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS YOU`RE GIVING TO THE PEDAL. I HOPE TO HAVE THIS ISSUES INVESTIGATED SINCE TOYOTA DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS THEM WHEN I CALL THEM. WARM REGARDS, *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UPON EXITING THE FREEWAY I WAS ON A RIGHT-TURNING OFF-RAMP WHEN I HEARD BEEPING AND A CRUNCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. IT SOUNDED AS IF SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ONCE I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I PULLED OVER AND THE WARNING LIGHTS HAD GONE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN, HOWEVER IT'S ONLY BEEN THE BEEPING, NOT THE LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE. IN SEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2003'S WERE RECALLED FOR. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT TOYOTA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THE 2004'S AS WELL. *TR

AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VSC TRAC, SLIP INDICATOR SKID, AND MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAVE REMAINED ON. TODAY THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AND REMAINED ON. CONCERNED WITH THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2004 OWNERS AND TOYOTA LACK OF INTEREST TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IN TIMELY AND FAIR MANNER. IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS, CHANGING OWNERS MANY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILLS AND VEHICLES REMAIN UNFIXED. TOYOTA OWNERS RELYING ON TOYOTA TO PROVIDE A QUALITY PRODUCT AND STAND BEHIND THE THAT PRODUCT WHEN A PROBLEM LIKE THIS OCCURS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES
I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA VEHICLE. I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT COMPLETELY DISENGAGED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED. THE BRAKE WAS OFF. I STARTED MY CAR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED BUT IT EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF SO I ASSUMED THAT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE MAY HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY ENGAGED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. A FEW DAYS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD, AGAIN. IT WENT OFF BY ITSELF BUT IT INTERMITTENTLY WENT ON AND OFF OVER A COUPLE WEEKS TIME. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA CARLSBAD AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE TROUBLE CODES CAME BACK AS P1247 AND P1223. THESE CODES INDICATED THAT THE ABS SKID CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED WHICH CAUSED MY ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM TO COMPLETELY STOP WORKING. I HAD A NEW ABS SKID CONTROL COMPUTER INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1,035.00. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE OCCURRED WITH ONLY 39,500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I WENT ON LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL 2003, 2004 AND 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA VEHICLES THAT HAD TO HAVE THE ABS SYSTEM REPLACED. I'M HOPING THAT TOYOTA WILL MANDATE A RECALL TO HAVE THE 2003,2004 AND 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA'S ABS SYSTEMS CHECKED AND REPLACE ANY THAT ARE MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
*NOT CLEAR ON MILEAGE* FORWARD ADDITIONAL MESSAGE TO APPROPRIATE DEPT.* I RENTED A CAR FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR COMPANY IN COMMERCE, GA. (706) 336-8450) AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL I TRIED TO SWITCH IT OUT IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA'S AIRPORT LOCATION ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR COMPANY (I ALSO NOTICED A SCRATCH ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT I HAD NOT SEEN NOR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING HITTING ONCE I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK) . THEY HAD SWITCHED ME INTO A JEEP WHICH WAS EMMITING SOME TYPE OF CHEMICAL THAT MAKES YOU CHOKE AND BLEED IF YOU'RE PREGNANT (I'M PREGNANT). SO I SWITCHED BACK TO THE VAN THAT I HAD BEFORE BUT THIS VEHICLE STARTED DOING THE SAME. MY VEHICLE HAS NOW SINCE BEEN WRECKED (NOV. 2, 2012) AND SITS AT LANCE TOWING COMPANY IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN TRANSFER TRUCKS PASS BY MY THEY BLOW THEIR PIPES WHICH GIVE OFF THE SAME EFFECT BUT STRONGER IF YOU'RE TRYING TO OPEN THE WINDOWS TO GET FRESH AIR. I HAVE NOW HAD TO RESORT TO WEARING A MASK TO PROTECT MY HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF MY UNBORN CHILD. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT AND THAT IT IS EXTREMELY INTENTIONAL AS I HAVE HAD TO REPORT THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, NATHAN DEAL, OF SUSPECTED CORRUPTION. IT IS ALSO MY BELIEF THAT THIS ACTION IS ALSO EXTENUATED BY MY EX, KIRK CHRISTIAN OF KINGSTON JAMAICA, AND THAT HE MAY BE PROVIDING SUCH CHEMICALS TO INCREASE THE CHANCES OF MY HAVING A MISCARRIAGE WITH MY SOON TO BE EX HUSBAND, WILLIAM EDWARD ROYSTON. EX HUSBAND WILLIAM ROYSTON MAY ALSO BE INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME AS HE HAS LAW ENFORCEMENT AND GOVERNMENT CONNECTIONS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REPORT THAT I RENTED THE CAR FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL COMPANY BECAUSE I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON NOV. 2, 2012 WHICH AGAIN I BELIEVE WAS INTENTIONAL DUE TO THE SAME REASONS LISTED ABOVE. *TR

I WAS MAKING MAINTENANCE FOR MY VEHICLE AND WHILE UNDER THE CAR I SPOTTED THE FRAME IS COVERED BY EXCESSIVE RUST MOSTLY ON JOINT AREAS. I HAVE READ TOYOTA FORUMS TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME CORROSION IS NOT ONLY MINE. ALSO, I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA MUST TAKE AN ACTION TO MAKE THOSE SEQUOIAS MORE SAVED TO DRIVE. AT LEAST, I AM EXPECTING THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL AND COVER THE FRAME WITH ANTI-RUST MATERIALS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND SHE HAD NOTICED A BANG OR THUMP COMING FROM THE CAR. SHE HAD NOTICED PRIOR THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAD COME SPORADICALLY. THE TRAC, VSC, AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAVE STAYED ON SINCE. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE SINCE THEN BECAUSE FOR WHATEVER REASON THE ROTORS ARE WARPING. THE FRONT BRAKES GRIND NOW AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT, IS TO TURN THE ROTORS. CHECKED INTO THE REPAIR, BUT UNABLE TO AFFORD $2,000 TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.
