VSC/TRAC AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND DESPITE THIS BEING A COMMON FAILURE TOYOTA SAYS I MUST PAY $600+ TO HAVE A YAW SENSOR REPLACED. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA VSC LIGHTS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON, REPLACED THE COMPUTER FOR APPROX $1500 ON 09/07. NOW 08/10 VSC WARNING LIGHTS AND THE ENGINE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON. THESE WARNING LIGHTS SEEM TO COME ON ABOUT 3-6 TIMES PER MONTH ESPECIALLY WHEN I RIDE OVER A SMALL BUMP OR TURN A CORNER. USUALLY THE LIGHTS DON'T COME ON AGAIN ONCE THE TRUCK IS RESTARTED. THIS TIME THE LIGHTS ARE REMAINING ON FOR 3 DAYS AND I WILL BE ONCE AGAIN TAKING THIS TRUCK IN. *TR

I HAD MY BRAKES LOOKED AT BY DEALER DUE TO PULSATING AND NOT FEELING LIKE THEY SHOULD. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE VSC, ABS, TRAC LIGHT GOES ON AND STAYS ON. SAFETY RECALL A0G REFLECTS PROBLEMS WITH THE VSC/ECU WHICH ALSO WORKS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE DECELERATION SENSOR/CIRCUIT. THE DEALER "PEDERSON TOYOTA" HAS TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE DECELERATION SENSOR COSTING $99.50 - DIAGNOSTIC, $445 - PART, AND $99.50 - LABOR. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE, THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. DECELERATION IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD. ALSO, THE DECELERATIONS SENSOR/CIRCUIT THEY ARE TELLING ME NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IS PART OF THE VSC/ECU THAT IS RECALLED. ALL THREE PARTS WORK TOGETHER AND NOT ONE OF THEM CAN DO THEIR JOB WITHOUT THE OTHER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
