2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

VSC TRAC OFF, THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOST POWER. LUCKILY, SHE WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC. RESTARTED AND MADE IT HOME. THE VSC TRAC OFF LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. VERY DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE LOOSED POWER COMPLETELY DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE.

ON THE DASHBOARD I HAVE VSC OFF. VSC TRACKING. BRAKE LIGHT ON.. THEY R ON CONSTANTLY AND WON'T SHUT OFF.. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS... I AM WORRIED MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING MY SUV WITH THE DASHBOARD LIT LIKE A XMAS TREE.. HELP PLEASE

DEPRESSING THE BRAKES - EVEN LIGHTLY WHEN SLOWING INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATES THE ABS ALONG WITH A LOUD BUZZING MECHANICAL NOISE. AS SUCH, I'M NOT ABLE TO SLOW AS QUICKLY WITH THE ABS DEPLOYED. MECHANIC REPORTS THIS IS RELATED TO TSB - BUT NO RECALL YET.

THE VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, BRAKE, AND ABS LIGHTS ALL COME ON ALL AT ONCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE USED SUV IN MAY 2013. IT WORRIES ME AS I AM ON THE FREEWAY NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN. NOT SURE HOW THIS WILL AFFECT MY VEHICLE IN THE LONG RUN. IT NORMALLY COMES ON WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR AT A CRAWLING SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THE FREEWAY HITS A RUSH HOUR MOMENT AND EVERYONE WILL START ROLLING/CRAWLING WITH THEIR VEHICLES. AS THIS HAPPENS, THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN A 30 MINUTES TO ONE HOUR TIME FRAME.

IF ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS WERE COMPILED IN ONE AREA AND PRESENTED TO THE NTSB, I'M SURE THAT TOYOTA WOULD BE FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT IT. ITS A BIG ISSUE ESTIMATED COST FOR THAT AROUND $ 2000 TO $ 5000 I DON`T KNOW IF U INVESTIGATE OR NO .I AM NOT GOING TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIR UNTIL I WILL HEAR FROM YOU .PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SEQUOIA SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. TRAC LIGHT AND VSC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY SPEED WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH AND WOULD NOT EVEN BRAKE. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE GOING PRETTY FAST AND ALMOST HIT ME. I AM LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE, SO I PULLED TO THAT LANE JUST IN TIME. IT WAS A SCARY MOMENT FOR ME BECAUSE MY KIDS WERE WITH ME ALSO. I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF TOYOTA OF HAVING SAFETY IN THEIR CARS, BUT WHEN I CAME HOME TO RESEARCH WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING TO THE CAR, I FOUND OUT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THUS IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM. I AM SUPRISED TOYOTA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. DO THEY NOT CARE OF THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS? THE MILAGE ON MY SEQUOIA IS ONLY 39,000 AND I DO NOT DRIVE IT TOO OFTEN, AND ALSO HAVE MAINTAINED IT VERY WELL. WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR AND THIS VEHICLE REALLY WAS NOT WORTH IT IF IT CAME WITH SO MANY FACTORY DEFAULTS. PLEASE FOLLOW-UP ON THIS ISSUE TO HAVE IT RESOLVED.

THE SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP HAS FAILED. IT STARTED WITH A LOUD WINDING NOISE ANYTIME IT WAS STARTED AT A COLD START. THE NOISE WOULD LAST A FEW MINUTES. THEN EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
