2003 Toyota Sequoia Steering Problems

“I notice on june 2, 2015 when I turn left or right that its hard and I took it into Toyota on june 20, 2015 and they told me it was the steering extension shaft. I also took the Sequoia in because even thou my gas tank was full the gauge said it was empty, and when I took it into Toyota they said it was fine . But it keeps doing it and now I put gas in it because I don't want to run out on the fwy. It can cause an accident.”

“I own a 2003 Toyota Sequoia with a severly rusted frame. It has aprox. 16 long rust hole in it aprox 1-2 wide,just under drivers floor at bottom of frame,right where the rear transmission crossmember attaches to frame. I have owned the vehicle since brand new (purchased in sept. Of 2002) and vehicle has just over 63,000 miles. Vehicle has never been involved in an accident. …”

“We bought this 2003 Sequoia limited 2 wheel drive new, and it has been a good car over all. But the vsc tracs, brake lights have flashed on and off sporadically at different speeds, when driving and or when braking. They usually don't effect the car, but recently we have experienced them all coming on when braking, and we seem to loose power and the power steering is lost momentarily until we come to a stop, and shut it off for a few minutes. …”

“The trac/vsc lights on my vehicle illuminated and my car's brakes and steering failed for about 30 seconds, at this time my vehicle skidded a few feet to the right and I hit the curb. This was is a school zone and luckily no children were hit. Internet searches say that it is a faulty skid control ecu that will cost $1500 to $2000 to replace. I cannot afford to replace this and will be forced to unsafely drive the vehicle.”

“I have had my rotors and brake pads changed a few times due to a conspicuous issue with my vehicle. At braking times during any slight hard stop, coming from either highway or street speeds the vehicle starts to vibrate on the front end. Tires seem to be wobbly and shake quite a bit. Nearly had a few accidents due to this phenomena. Have taken my vehicle in for servicing at reputable repair shops and have had rotors cut and new brake pads installed frequently. Have even had to buy new tires, even though not needed, based on dealer recommendation. …”
