Problems with 2004 Toyota Sequoia EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Vsc track sensor and engine check lights came on while driving at 40 mph in the city. i have noticed in the past two months that when i slow to make a turn the breaks lock up and grind, but not always. the safety break is also on. i have read that when the vsc lights do come on that you cannot go over 50 miles an hour or when on the highway the car will slow down to 50 and cannot go any faster. i'm afraid of this happening when traveling on the highway.

I'm the original owner of my 2004 toyota sequoia vehicle. i noticed that my brake light indicator light was illuminated on my dashboard. my first thought was that my emergency brake was not completely disengaged. i pulled over to the side of the road and checked. the brake was off. i started my car and the brake light was still illuminated but it eventually turned off so i assumed that my emergency brake may have been slightly engaged when i was driving. a few days later the brake light was illuminated on my dashboard, again. it went off by itself but it intermittently went on and off over a couple weeks time. i took it to toyota carlsbad and they diagnosed the problem. the trouble codes came back as p1247 and p1223. these codes indicated that the abs skid control system malfunctioned which caused my anti-lock system to completely stop working. i had a new abs skid control computer installed at a cost of $1,035.00. this shouldn't have occurred with only 39,500 miles on my vehicle. i went on line and discovered that there have been several 2003, 2004 and 2005 toyota sequoia vehicles that had to have the abs system replaced. i'm hoping that toyota will mandate a recall to have the 2003,2004 and 2005 toyota sequoia's abs systems checked and replace any that are malfunctioning. *tr

Brake light is coming on and staying on for no reason while vehicle is running and moving. toyota service unable to duplicate or diag problem. brake light has been comes on randomly for years. *tr

2004 toyota sequoia skid control ecu had to be replaced by the dealer as the abs light continually light ups on my vehicle. *tr

We have had 2 rear end collisions in our 2004 toyota sequoia in less than 10 months of ownership. we have never had a rear end collision in 12 years of driving other model suvs, and 20+ years of driving all types of vehicles. i believe there is a safety design flaw in the rear brake lights of the sequoia. the large red lights on the right and left side of the tailgate do not function as brake lights. they only light up when the headlamps are illuminated. therefore, the largest red light surface area on the back of the car does not illuminate when brakes are applied. i believe this leads drivers to miss the fact that the brakes have been applied. the only driver eye-level brake lights are on the side panels and the high-mount light over the tailgate, which is fairly small. the proportional size of the side eye-level brake lights is significantly smaller than the red lenses on the tailgate. we request that nhtsa look into this matter, because the design defies common sense and we believe has led to two rear-end collisions in less than a year. we are seriously considering selling this vehicle because i have lost confidence that it is safe for my family.

Dashboard lights came on ie. gas light comes on and gas indicator went to empty regardless of the amount of gas in the tank, brake light cam es on. all of this is sporatic and has no pattern. we have friends that the same thing happens on thier 2004 sequoia.*ak
