| Description of the problem | After i have driven my 2005 toyota sequoia for approx 20+ miles, when i apply the brakes the abs, brake, trac, vsc, etc. Lights all light up on the dash. When this happens the suv becomes a little harder to control. It wants to pull to one side when applying the brakes. If you stop and turn off the suv and restart the lights go off. Most of the time the lights will come on a short time later. I contacted toyota in july of 2009 and they told me to take it to the dealer. I would have to pay to have it fixed since my warranty had expired. I have been doing research online and this is a big problem with many sequoia owners. Toyota does not seam to have an answer for this issue. |
