2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

MY 2005 SEQUOIA HAS THE VSC OFF AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS ON AND IT CAUSES A HESITATION IN ACCELERATION - WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT CRASH HAZARD. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD FIX IT BECAUSE THEY RECALLED OTHER YEARS OF SEQUOIAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX IT AND SAID THAT THE 2005 HAS DIFFERENT PARTS THAN THE YEARS THAT THEY RECALLED. THAT IS SILLY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS THERE EVEN IF THE PARTS ARE DIFFERENT. THE HATCHBACK LATCH HAS ALSO BROKE AND THE HATCHBACK WILL NOT OPEN. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS IS ANOTHER WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2005 SEQUOIAS THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX DESPITE THE DANGERS IF THERE WERE A CRASH AND SOMEBODY NEEDED TO EXIT FROM THE HATCH AREA.

2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WITH 87000 MILES HAS LOST POWER WHEN THE TRAC VSC AND OFF TRAC PLUS ENGINE IS ON. THE SEQUOIA WILL ONLY TRAVEL 30 MILES PER HOUR. TOP. IT HAPPEN JUNE 19, 2016 WHEN DRIVING ON THE STREETS WE STARTED TO GO UPHILL WHEN MY WIFE AND ME NOTICE THAT SEQUOIA HAD ON POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON PLUS TRAC OFF AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS WERE ON. I LOOK UP THE PROBLEM ON THE COMPUTER TO FINED OUT THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CHECK THE TOYOTA WEB SITE TO SEE IF ANY RECALLS. I ENTER THE VIN NUMBER AND FOND NONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKS

MILEAGE IS 76,500 AND DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND MY VSC TRAC, VSC OFF AND BREAK LIGHT COMES ON WITH A GRINDING NOISE. I PULLED THE CAR ON THE SIDE AND TURN OFF THE CAR. EVER SINCE THE VSC TRAC, VSC OFF AND BREAK LIGHT ARE ALWAYS ON. I WENT ONLINE AND I SEE A LOT OF SEQUOIA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS??

I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE WARNING AND VSC TRAC OFF LIGHTS GOING ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON A TRIP AND OUR SEQUOIA ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER. IT SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS FINE. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE WE WERE ON AN INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED IS 70 MPH. I ALSO EXPERIENCED ALL THE BRAKES MAKING A MASSIVE GRINDING NOISE WHILE GOING SLOW INTO A RESTAURANT. (THE BRAKES HAVE LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THEM.) THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON PERIODICALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VSC TRAC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,008.

ENGINE WARNING AND VSC TRAC OFF LIGHTS, I HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THESE WARNINGS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAD HAPPENED TO MY SUV. THE LAST TIME WAS ON A LONG VACATION TRIP AND IT SUDDENLY GOES ON AND THE ENGINE STARTS TO GO ON LIMP MODE, WHERE IT SLOWS DOWN DRAMATICALLY EVEN THOUGH THE SUV'S ENGINE IS FINE. IT WAS PRETTY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE WERE ON A FWY WHERE THE SPEED IS 75 MPH. WE TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR IN TOYOTA DEALER AND IT JUST NEED A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHICH COST ME $2600 TO GET THIS LIGHTS OFF! TWO YEARS LATER TO THIS DAY, THE LIGHTS WENT ON AGAIN AND NOW THE SAME THING, IT IS GOING TO COST ME $2600 TO GET THESE LIGHT OFF! THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT TO ALL 2005 SEQUOIA. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THESE...

I HAVE VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, AND CHECK ENGINE. IF YOU GIVE IT A LOT OF FUEL, IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO GO, BUT IT DOESN'T TRANSLATE INTO POWER IN THE REAR END. I USE MY CODE READER AND IT SHOWED CODES P1441 AND P1444. SAYS I MAY HAVE: A) FAULTY VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (VSV) FOR AIR INJECTION CONTROL CIRCUIT, B)FAULTY AIR SWITCHING VALVE NUMBER 2, OR C)FAULTY VSV FOR AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO MY SEQUOIA, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUES FOR TOYOTA SEQUOIA OWNERS AND IN FACT IT IS A RECURRING ISSUES FOR OTHER MODELS AS WELL. THIS COST ME APPROXIMATELY $2200 LAST TIME AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER IT IS BACK FOR ANOTHER $2200 TO REPAIR. IT'S ALL THE OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, AND CHECK ENGINE, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

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.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. VSC TRAC LIGHT ON. VSC TRAC OFF LIGHT ON. MECHANIC CHECKED CODES AND REPLACED #6 COIL AS WELL AS REPLACING SPARK PLUGS. DROVE IT HOME AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. VEHICLE IN MOTION WHEN LIGHTS APPEARED CITY STREET, HIGHWAY , GRAVEL LIGHTS ON.
