2003 Toyota Sequoia Engine problems

Many things are happening to my truck that's why I am contacting you people to see if I got any callback thank you so much

Can not get BSC, TRC engine lights off traction control kicks in and locks steering and brakes . Unsafe can not smog after spending thousands replacing parts

On 12/21/2020, after running errands, I put my vehicle inside my locked garage at 10:30 a.M. And all was fine. At around 9:00 p.M. That same night, I opened my garage to find it full of smoke. After inspecting everything, I saw nothing was still on fire and waited until the morning to investigate the problem. I first tried to start the vehicle and it had battery power but would not turn over. I then put it in neutral and backed the vehicle away from the front of the garage to open the hood. I saw the engine had...

Vsc, check engine, brake lights keep coming on. No traction control when button pushed. Driving highway speed traction control beeps when not even appropriate. Have had several times trying to brake, no brakes light comes on almost crashed due to no brakes! I have researched recall my vin# not listed. This is ridiculous! Unsafe! Toyota needs to recall more vehicles. Not a happy toyota consumer!

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 toyota sequoia. While driving at an unknown speed, the serpentine belt snapped. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the serpentine belt snapped due to the frame and both parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 173,000. The vin was not provided.

I have a 2003 sequoia with 253,000 miles on it. About a month ago, while driving on a flat, dry road at about 30 miles per hour and slowing for an upcoming stoplight, my vsc off, vsc trac and check engine lights all suddenly came on. Apparently this is a known issue with this year vehicle. I am struggling now to figure out how l will afford to take this car in for repair and l am angered at being put in this position. This was an expensive, luxury suv when we bought it and the manufacturer should own up to this bad part. If I'd wanted a crappy made car, l wouldn't have wasted $40k on this one.

Hello, I have a 2003 toyota sequioa where the engine light and the vcs lights are both on. I saw on your page some really helpful information on this make/model recall. I've reached out to toyota customer service because there was a recall on this make/model but they said that my vin number was not part of that recall, even though it's having the same issues?? The recall was that toyota had to replace the skid control engine control unit (ecu) and upgrade program logic in its vehicle stability control (vcs) system....

While driving on the street at speed limit the car shuts off without any warning. You have no way to break but to place your car in park. I have had this happen twice not sure why it keeps happening. This is very very dangerous.

The technician stated that more information was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

After coming to stop or slowing down, when turning car does not accelerate. For about 7-10 seconds which is a safety hazard when pulling out into traffic.

Taken to dealership to fix problem with acceleration but recurred after visit 4 times. Vehicle has 135,000 miles. Mileage is approximation. *Tr

I was driving down the highway and my vsc trac lights came on along with my engine light. When I got home, I looked at my vehicle manual to determine what had happened. I attempted to remedy the problem as suggested by toyota, unfortunately, nothing changed. Approximately 2 weeks later my brake light intermittently turned on & off. Less than 5 months earlier, I had my all of my brakes replaced, so I can't imagine that my brakes are faulty. I became alarmed by these electronic miscues - so I went online to...

Started car up and put it in reverse all the sudden these lights came on and the bakes now fill funny. *Tr

VSC, TRAC, BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

I noticed oil leaking from rear axle housing. When I took the vehicle in for service I was told that the axle housing is leaking due to defective welds and must be replaced, it cannot be repaired. At the same time I was also told that the vehicle frame has rotted from the inside out due to defective or inadequate factory rustproofing. I was told that this problem is pervasive in toyota sequoias which have the same frame as toyota tundras. Toyota has recalled the tundras and replaced the frames but to date...

2003 Toyota sequoia will unexpectedly loose power when turning and then acceleration races up after a long pause. This has happened about once per month since purchasing the vehicle in 2003 and has several times resulted in near-miss crashes from approaching traffic as the vehicle will not move out of the way of oncoming traffic. *Tr

On sept 6,2006. The trac off, vsc trac and check engine lights are coming. My 2003 sequoia only has 31,786 miles and paid $2891.48 For the service. Today 8-26-09 my car only has 58,000 miles and the trac off, vsc trac and the check engine lights are coming back, they want to charge to fix the same problem. I am not sure they fixed the previous problem in 2006? Because I asked them to save the parts and give it to me when I pick up the car, but they did have it, something is fishy? If they replace now the...

My engine light keeps coming on and the dealership that I have been taking it to keeps telling me that they can not fine anything. The warranty run out at 60,000 miles and I'm at 59260. I have taking the vehicle 3 time. I believe they are trying to wait for my warranty to run out. *Tr

9/07 - A load noise sounded and the vehicles brakes and steering locked up on me while I was accelerating and approaching a 4 way stop light. I took the vehicle in to folsom lake toyota for service that day. They told me they could not find the problem, maybe it was do to a low charge from the battery. So I had them replace the battery. 10/1/07 A few weeks later I was accelerating and going on to the freeway when all of a sudden the brake noise sounded the steering and brakes locked up and all my engine...
