| Description of the problem | Our vsc/trac light and engine light simultaneously come on for an unknown reason. Our mechanic can not find a solution. Our emergency brake light comes on and off for no necessary reason as well. This has happened three or four times and no one can fix it. I am afraid to take it to toyota because of the bad experiences posted online where consumers have received many varying answers, expensive repairs, and in some case, still no solution. We are in the market to buy a new car and it makes resale very difficult with these lights on and no answer as to why they are on... And no way to turn them off... So we wait. Many people have posted on the internet about this same problem in other 2005 sequoias. Our computer keeps throwing varying and different errors... And my mechanic thinks the errors are not accurate. Could it be a computer or electrical malfunction? Please help. |
