#1956 of 1963 Re: Cost reasonable for replacing timing and drive belt? [reau] by steve_ HOST Oct 13, 2009 (1:26 pm)
Replying to: reau (Oct 13, 2009 11:21 am) Someone over in the Sequoia Consumer Reviews paid $700 last June. Someone else paid $1,500! (same month).   Not cheap either way. Replies to this message: reau (Oct 13, 2009 2:38 pm) steve_ (Oct 13, 2009 6:02 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 13, 2009 1:26 pm) Ouch! Well, I must say that with the exception of the rear door latch breaking last year (I see from these boards that it is quite common and expensive to repair!) that I really have not had to put any money into this car and it still looks and works great. So, I guess I will call and have them do the job. I just wanted to be sure. Like I said, since they have moved to their building I seem to be getting a lot more suggestions on work that needs to be done. Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 13, 2009 6:02 pm)

Replying to: reau (Oct 13, 2009 2:38 pm) I didn't check but it's good to do if yours is an interference engine.   Service writers tend to work on commission, so they do tend to "make suggestions".
#1959 of 1963 2003 Toyota Sequoia ABS VSC Problems by tlea Oct 29, 2009 (7:53 am)
This seems to be a common occurrence. The ABS system fails causing the VSC and Track lights as well as the break warning lights to appear. I lost control of the car with a strong pull to the left, grinding sound and inability to stop the car. The car also began to shake violently. Toyota says this is not a safety issue and will not issue a recall. The cost to fix said problem is around $4000!!!! I have contacted the NHTSA and filed a complaint, this is the only way to make Toyota responsible. If you are having the same issue PLEASE call 888-327-4236 and file a complaint. There is only strength in numbers. They must fix this before someone gets killed!!! Replies to this message: starqn (Nov 03, 2009 9:22 am)

#1962 of 1963 Toyota Sequoia SR5 03 VSC Track/ABS lights by ricjo4611 Nov 12, 2009 (7:47 pm)
I brought my car to the dealer and told me the Yaw Rate Sensor and Skid Control must be replaced from $600 - 1,600. I was surprised about it since I have only 42,000 miles on it. The code is 1223 ABS control system and 1244 deceleration sensor. According to TSB#00303 - vsc Light on condition with diagnostic trouble code C1231 in the skid control computer memory. A modification to the sked control computer logic hwas bee made to prevent this condition, November 18, 2003. I think this is a defective part or system. I have read many problems regarding this...

I have the same problem and Toyota dealer will be charging me $600 up to 1,600 to replace the Yaw rate sensor and skid control system. It is rediculous for Toyota cars, and I have only 42,000 miles on it. I have also Toyota Camry and hope it will not be like that. Next time buying cars, I am going for Honda.
