2007 Toyota Sequoia Brakes Problems

“The master pressure sensor is failing and from what I am reading this has been a common complaint in the early 2000's toyotas but no one has done nothing about it besides charge an awful amount to fix. My vehicle when in 4wd brakes will lock up and I still slide no matter what gear or how slow I am going. I have almost slid into countless cars.”

“2007 Sequoia vsc trac sensor lights turning on and off and hearing grinding noise when accelerating and decelerating. Along with the vsc trac sensor lights turning on, the brake indicator light turns on as well. The most recent occurrence happened as I was picking up my daughter from school, and as I was pulling away from the school doing no more than 20 MPH - my vehicle made a grinding noise and all the above listed indicator lights came on. I was able to (nervously) drive my vehicle home. This has also happened multiple times before at different speeds. …”

“Began acceleration from 35 MPH progressing to 55 MPH, accelerator left my foot, engine sped up to over 5,000 RPM, applied both feet to brake pedal with all my weight, engine continued to race above 5,000 RPM, put car into drive 1 with no change, engine raced, put car into neutral and engine continued racing over 5,000 RPM, was able to steer car into a ditch, turned off ignition. The check engine light was blinking during this event. I was never able to stop with my brakes. …”

“To whom it may be of some interest, june 19, 2008 I had a horrific experience with my Sequoia. I own a 2007 Sequoia and it only has 4200 miles on it. This past sunday I was starting from traffic when I gently stepped on the brake pedal to slow down in traffic when all of a sudden the seq. Jumped from 0 to 60 or 70 MPH. It took me off guard, I then pressed on the brake again trying to stop the vehicle or at least slow it down a bit but every time I took my foot off the brake the truck just wanted to take off totally out of control. It kept doing this for about a good minute. …”

“When at a complete stop (brakes applied), once releasing brake and slowly starting to move (less than 1 MPH), everyone in the vehicle feels a nudge (like getting rear ended or a bad drive-line u-joint). Also, feel a similar nudge when the automatic transmission shifts from 3rd to 4th gear (possibly 4th to 5th gear with the over-drive on) at about 50 MPH. These conditions constantly occur every time the vehicle is driven (everyday!). …”
