2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS HAD ISSUES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS IN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GET ENGAGED AND IT ALMOST STOPS MOVING FOR A SECOND UNTIL THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL KICKS IN. TODAY THE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN VSC TRAC AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE. *TR

AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA FOR APPROX 20+ MILES, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE ABS, BRAKE, TRAC, VSC, ETC. LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP ON THE DASH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SUV BECOMES A LITTLE HARDER TO CONTROL. IT WANTS TO PULL TO ONE SIDE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. IF YOU STOP AND TURN OFF THE SUV AND RESTART THE LIGHTS GO OFF. MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON A SHORT TIME LATER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA IN JULY OF 2009 AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH MANY SEQUOIA OWNERS. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEAM TO HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND RECENTLY MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON, THEN MY CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING, AND RECENTLY HORN QUIT WORKING. THESE ALL TOOK PLACE IN A MATTER OF A FEW WEEKS. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE WITH MY MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY SPIRAL CABLE/CLOCK SPRING FAILED. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, AND I AM NOW DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN OR AIR BAG PROTECTION, UNTIL I CAN SAVE ~$350 TO GET IT REPLACED. THIS IS A HIGH RISK ITEM AND SHOULD HAVE A LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY. *TR

VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF, AND PARKING PARK LIGHT COME ONE AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. THEY WILL BE OFF...BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE STILL ON. *TR

TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2005 - AIR INJECTION CONTROL VALVE & PUMP BROKE. CAUSING CAR TO COMPLETELY MALFUNCTION. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC - A BLADE FROM THE AIR INJECTOR PUMP BROKE - DISLODGED INTO SYSTEM AND CAUSED CORROSION AND DEBRIS TO ENTER INTO SYSTEM CAUSE OVER $2800 WORTH OF PARTS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNCOMMON PART TO REPLACE ACCORDING TO MECHANIC. TOYOTA DEALER HAD THE PARTS TO REPLACE IT - CAUSING MORE CONCERN THAT THIS MAY BE A RECALL ITEM CONSIDERING THE DANGEROUS SITUATION IT PRESENTS WHEN CAR COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTIONING PARTS. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING 3 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE( I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. HAS BEEN TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT HAS BEEN FIXED AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN. TODAY MAY 7TH IS 2ND TIME FOR 2011 THAT I AM AGAIN AT DEALER WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. I HAVE HAD CONTINUED ISSUES WITH OUTER WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND YES I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED SEVERAL TIMES. THE TIRES, REGARDLESS OF QUALITY, ARE LASTING ABOUT 20,000 MILES. UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE FROM A SAFETY OR EXPENSE PERSPECTIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP. AS THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WITH HESITATION. IN ADDITION, THE VSC OFF, VSC TRAC, CHECK ENGINE AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT BOTH THE VSC COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

VSC TRAC/VSC OFF/BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. VEHICLE LOSES POWER, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS ON MY 2005 SEQUOIA. *TR

TRAC LIGHTS CAME ON ONE MONTH AGO AT ABOUT 95 ,000 MILES. CAR HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS AND GAINING SPEED. A REPUTABLE CAR DEALER (NOT TOYOTA) TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF. GRINDING STOPPED- CAR WAS FINE. THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN TODAY WHEN ENGINE STARTED. AGAIN, CAR HAD TROUBLE GAINING SPEED AND CHANGING GEARS AT 99,000 MILES. WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 100,000 MILES OR SEVEN YEARS. *TR
