NHTSA Complaint #10465098 — 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

MY 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA'S ABS/VSC/TRAC LIGHTS ARE ON. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT IS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. WE'VE HAD THE REAR AND FRONT BRAKE PADS CHANGED RECENTLY. RECENTLY WHILE WE WERE COMING TO A SLOW STOP AT A GAS STATION, I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE AND IT MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE GOING TO GIVE OUT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE. A FEW TIMES WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WILL GIVE A LITTLE JERK AS IF BEING HIT FROM THE BACK. CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CENTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM REGARDING THE ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTS AND BRAKES ISSUE. DID INTERNET RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG SEQUOIA OWNERS...YET THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A SAFELY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ECU SKID CONTROL SYSTEM - BUT THAT MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY PULLED THE FOLLOWING CODES: C1223, C1244, C1247 AND C1310. IT SEEMS THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY SEQUOIA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, TOYOTA SHOULD FIX IT. PLEASE HELP! *TR
