| I recently purchased a 2003 sequoia and have become aware that the vsc trac, vsc off, abs lights always remain on. my mechanic ran the codes and has advised me that i need a new deceleration sensor. after some research online i see that i am not alone and so would like to voice my concern about this faulty sensor and ask that toyota give a response to why so many vehicles of this era have this specific problem. *tr | |||

| I own a 2003 toyota sequoia and the oil pressure sending unit is failing to report the proper oil information. it fluctuates at random times dropping to the low mark and will remain there for minutes at a time. if this sending unit does not inform me of the true representation of oil pressure, it could potentially damage my vehicle engine and hope that toyota recalls this part because i have seen hundreds of blogs from other toyota owners reporting this same issue. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2003 toyota sequoia sr5. when pressure was applied to the brake pedal, the vsc/abs/brake controller warning light illuminated intermittently on the instrument panel and the front end of the vehicle began shaking excessively. the vehicle was taken to the dealer multiple times in which the technicians concluded that the computerized system sensor failed. the technicians replaced the translate computer, the ecu, the transmission temperature sensor, and the brake power booster. none of the repairs have remedied the failure. the manufacturer was investigating the failures. the failure mileage was 9,322 and the current mileage was 122,000. updated 11/10/09 *cn the consumer stated the vsc/brake and abs lights have been on, since taking ownership of the vehicle. when the lights are on, the front of the vehicle shakes and the vehicle looses power for approximately 2-3 seconds and then regains power again. the skid control computer and brake power booster were replaced. updated 11/16/09 | |||
