Problem overview

Some Toyota Sequoia owners report experiencing issues with their brake lights remaining on after the engine is shut off, often due to a faulty brake light switch that can wear out over time. Others note that recently replaced brake pedal bushings may not be correctly installed or adjusted, contributing to the problem. Additionally, some owners have found that corroded wiring in the brake light system can cause the lights to stay illuminated, necessitating a check for damage around the tail lights and brake pedal. Malfunctions in the brake pressure switch have also been reported, leading to the same issue. Furthermore, concerns regarding the brake master cylinder may arise, especially if there are signs of potential failure. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to inspect these components and consult a professional mechanic if the problem persists to ensure vehicle safety and functionality.
