What owners wrote
We have a 2002 sequoia, not long after we bought it the vsc and trac off light started coming on, and the booster assy was replaced by our local toyota dealer. We have had to replace the brakes or parts of the brakes three times, 8/21/02, 3/11/03, and 5/3/03, costing some where close to $1000.00. On june 6th, I took the sequoia into toyota for a service check and was told that everything was fine. 3 weeks later we felt that there was something wrong with the brakes again, and called toyota motor corp.
Vsc, ABS, traction control and brake warning instrument lights on. ABS and traction control and vsc are inoperable due to a computer malfunction. This is an extremely common issue with first generation sequoias. My specific codes are c1241 and c1203. Toyota told me I will need a new computer to controls those systems at a 921 dollar expense. These issues have been ongoing since 2009.
