I purchased this 2001 Sequoia brand new and has done well with the exception of the problem I'm having now. My TSC/VSC lights comes on and it the slippery light picture comes on as well. When this happens the brake calipers feel as if they grab hold of the brake drums and pull to one side of the other. Its a very dangerous feeling. With in the passed few months I was told the brake calipers need replaced. So I had them replaced, once they were replaced the Sequoia still had the same reactions.
I took it back 3 times to have it checked out. The first time they replace the right caliper and flushed out all the brake fluid and replaced it; again and it still had the same results. The second time the left caliper was replaced. And the third time I was told they needed to be calibrated.
Finally I took it to the dealership I purchase the vehicle from and I was told by service department that the issue is coming from 1 or 2 issues but they couldn't distinguish which one exactly. Both sensors were very expensive to replace so they suggested I keep driving until it become even worse so they can figure it out. My thought is this 01 Seqouia has been doing this over 2 years and I've been robbed out of money by replacing the calipers and brake fluid and the SUV is still doing the same thing, Even the dealer can't make a decision on which is which. But wants to charge me over 2 thousand to replace 2 sensors which they believe to be the problem but don't know which one it is.
Toyota NEEDS TO DO A RECALL before someone gets killed behind this problem. BTW, I purchased this 01 Sequoia in Chesapeake, Virginia. I just hope and pray my 2010 Toyota Tundra (platinum) don't give me the same problems down the road!
