2005 Toyota Sequoia Electrical system Problems

“Abs system would engage as vsc skid control light and brake light appears. System would reset after ignition was turned off and restarted. Mishap occurred several times on dry, smooth road surface at a low rate of speed with minimal pressure on brake pedal. I took car to dealer for repair. They replaced skid control ecu. Car repeated symptoms on my way home. I took it back to the dealer. They replaced brake booster. Car is working normally now.”

“Brake light, vsc light, low tire pressure light, ABS light, and one other light come on when it's cold. They go off when it's above 40 or so degrees. Replaced brakes and fixed parking brake (drove with it on because I got so used to ignoring all of the lights). Lights were off for about a week. 21 degrees out today and all the lights are back on. Will call Toyota and discuss why I just spent $900 and the lights are still coming on.”

“Vsc vsc traction control lights came on as well as the check engine light. The vehicle was accelerating poorly. The dealer replaced the air injection control drivers and then all of the warning lights were off. The following day all of the warning lights were back on again and the vehicle was accelerating poorly again. I returned the vehicle to the dealer and I was told that another repair was needed now. The air pump set needs to be replaced for $1,700.00. Thousands of Sequoia owners have reported this problem but Toyota has not issued a recall.”

“My rear hatch quit 48 months after purchase. First the rear defrost/wiper/window quit soon followed by the hatch not opening at all. The issue lies with the inadequate 360 degree sealing of the rear hatch itself. Several issues have resulted from the inadequate seal: water coming in under the hatch and mold forming inside the vehicle. Dust comes in the vehicle while driving on dirt roads. Night driving is especially difficult due to the rear wiper and defrost not working. Every 03-05 owner I speak with has an issue with the rear hatch and the internet forums are endless.”

“I started my car and drove off, and I noticed the vsc trac lights stayed on. The vehicle appears to drive fine, but the vsc trac lights stayed on. Upon doing my own research online I discovered that many Sequoia owners have experienced the same issue, but Toyota has refused to do a recall. This issue with vsc trac is a huge safety concern. Through my research I discovered that the vehicle could lose power at any time, and many owners state they hear a grinding noise as the vehicle pulls to the right or left.”
