SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)
I BOUGHT A "TOYOTA CERTIFIED" 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA IN LATE '04. ROUGHLY 6 MONTHS INTO OWNERSHIP - MY VSC (TRACTION CONTROL) SYSTEM BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES - 2 FULL-DAY TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP MADE NO RESULTS - THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER 4-6 MONTHS LATER, THE VSC FAILED COMPLETELY, AND AFTER INVESTIGATION, I FIND THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THE FAILURE LEAVES ME WITHOUT ABS AND WITHOUT VSC (TWO OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THE CAR I DID) AND AT AN INCREASED RISK OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT, AS WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL ABS THE BRAKES LOCK QUITE EASILY. CALLS TO MY DEALERSHIP HAVE LEFT ME WITH THE IMPRESSION THE FIX WILL BE IN THE $2000 NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I HAVEN'T YET COME UP WITH THAT. THE INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE TO THE START OF THE ISSUES. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
I OWN A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND HAVE HAD THREE INSTANCES OF THE BACK HATCH LATCH ASSEMBLY BREAKING AND BECOMING UNLATCHED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE LATCH ASSEMBLY BECAME UNLATCHED AFTER THE REAR WINDOW WAS ROLLED DOWN. IN EACH CASE THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT RELATCH AND TO BE TIED SHUT. THE LATCH ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BY A DEALER IN ORDER TO RESTORE THE HATCH TO OPERATION IN EACH CASE. DURING THE THIRD REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR HATCH LATCH ASSEMBLY THE DEALER TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE LATCH OPERATING CABLE HARNESS WAS ROUTED INCORRECTLY INSIDE THE REAR HATCH WHICH IS WHY THE REAR WINDOW WAS PUTTING STRESS ON IT AND DAMAGING THE LATCH ASSEMBLY. THE LATCH BROKE TWICE IN 08/2002, AND AGAIN IN 06/2005. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS 'VSC TRAC" ,"VSC OFF","SLIP OR SKID","ABS",LIGHTS IS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE MAKING TURNS AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP, EVEN THOUGH THE PAVEMENT IS DRY THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME EVER SINCE, BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY APPLY CAUSING THE CAR TO CUT OFF OR PREVENT THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING THUS RESULTS IN NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR, THERE WERE INSTANCES THAT MAKING TURNS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU CAN HIT YOU DUE TO THE FACT THAT FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE THE ABS/VSC SYSTEMS OVERRIDE YOU FROM ACCELERATING BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT IN ONLINE FORUMS LIKE EDMUNDS.COM TUDRASOLUTIONS.COM, AND THERE WAS A DISCUSSION IN THERE THAT SOMEONE'S CAR WITH THE VSC FAILURE CAUGHT ON FIRE, PLS INVESTIGATE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, SUSPENSION
IN 8/06 I NOTICED A ROARING/GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM MY END. L. BEARING REPLACED X2. PROBLEM REMAINED. THEN REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT BEARING. STILL TO NO AVAIL. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA IN TAMPA WHO STATED THE REPLACED BEARING HAD BEEN PRESSED IN TOO TIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO THEN TOOK THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY OVER TOYOTA IN CLEARWATER TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. STILL NO RESOLUTION. TIRE PROBLEM? SO, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TIRE KINGDOM WHO PUT ON NEW MICHELIN CROSS TERRAIN SUV TIRES. PROBLEM REMAINED. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY THEN PUT ON A NEW SET OF MICHELIN LTX TIRES. PROBLEM REMAINED. SO, I THEN TOOK IT TO COLLISIONTEC IN CLEARWATER, THINKING THAT PERHAPS TIRE KINGDOM MIGHT HAVE BENT SOMETHING WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY ROTATED THE TIRES. (THE CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC HAD PREVIOUSLY INSPECTED EVERYTHING UNDER MY CAR WHEN HE FIRST HAD IT BUT HAD BEEN UNABLE TO DETECT ANY DAMAGE). COLLISIONTEC DROVE THE CAR AND DID AN INITIAL INSPECTION, BUT COULD NOT DETECT ANYTHING. THEY HAVE ASKED TO HAVE ME BRING THE CAR BACK SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP IT FOR A WEEK AND DO A COMPLETE INSPECTION. IN THE MEANTIME, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VSC/VTC LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA MECHANIC. THE O2 SENSOR NEEDS TO BE FIXED/REPLACED. TO FIX THE VSC/VTC TOYOTA DOESN'T SELL THE ONE PART NEEDED, ONLY THE COMPLETE SET FOR $900! THIS IS ALL ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL ROAR/GRINDING/VIBRATION PROBLEM WHICH STILL EXISTS!! REAPAIRS NOW UP TO 2K & NO RESOLUTION. ALSO, MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THE BALL JOINT PROBLEM. THERE IS NO STICKER INDICATING BALL JOINTS REPLACED. IF THE BALL JOINTS WERE NOT REPLACED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN, COULD THIS BE THE SOURCE OF THE ROAR/GRINDING/VIBRATION? THIS ROAR/GRINDING/VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE FRONT AND OCCURS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TRAC OFF AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON, SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS IN IDLE. WHILE IN MOTION, IF TRAC OFF AND VSC TRAC LIGHTS TURN ON, BEEPING OCCURS, GRINDING OR "WHIRRING" NOISES ARE AUDIBLE AND BRAKES CANNOT BE DEPRESSED. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I'VE CHANGED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL AND FOUND SMALL METAL BITS IN THE OIL. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SUV AND IN 78,000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO RESURFACE OR REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS SIX DIFFERENT TIMES, WHICH AVERAGES ABOUT 12,000 FOR EACH ROTOR FAILURE. THE FAILURE IS SEVERE WARPING OF THE ROTOR WHICH CAUSE VIOLENT SHAKING AND STEERING PROBLEMS OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY FOR IT EACH TIME ( OUT OF WARRANTY)BUT I FEEL IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND A SAFETY HAZARD AND AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
IN NOVEMBER 2001, I PURCHASED A NEW 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR-5. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2002, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AC SYSTEM AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2003 WHEN I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SUMMER OF 2004 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I DID NOT TAKE IT IN HOPING A RECALL WOULD SOON BE ISSUED. SUMMER 2005 - I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER SEQUOIA OWNERS AND HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE ALONE. ALL THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME: 1) AC DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 80 DEGREES. 2) WHEN IT DOES WORK (BELOW 80 DEGREES), IT DOES NOT WORK WELL AND INTERMITTENTLY. 3) SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR REPAIR WITH COSTS RANGING FROM $2300-$2900. 4) I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS WHEN IT IS RAINING - THIS IS A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. MANY OF THE PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND TOYOTA CLAIMS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO A RECALL IS NOT WARRANTED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! BECAUSE MY AC SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, I CANNOT TAKE MY FAMILY ANYWHERE ON THE ROAD FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I AM AFRAID ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE WILL SUFFER FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION OR WORSE. I URGE NHTSA TO FOLLOW UP WITH TOYOTA TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 4X4 AND MY ABS, BRAKE, VCS, TRAC LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD REMAIN ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON WWW.EDMUNDS.COM AND ON WWW.TUNDRASOLUTIONS.COM AND APPEARS TO A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OWNERS OF 2000-2003 SEQUOIA MODELS. MY 2002 HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS THAT DEALT WITH BRAKES AND SUSPENSION. IT APPEARS THAT WHEN THE BRAKE RECALL WAS CONDUCTED THEY DID NOT UPGRADE OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM INCLUDING COMPUTER SENSORS/MODULES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT TO THESE MODEL YEARS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA. WHAT I READ ON THE ABOVE WEBSITES IS THAT TOYOTA HAS CHARGED OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT WHEN IT SHOULD BE A FREE REPAIR. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
IN AUGUST, 2005 MY SEQUOIA BEGAN TO SHAKE AT THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR ROTORS WOULD SOON NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN MAY, THE REAR ROTORS WERE AND ENTIRE BRAKES AND PADS WERE REPLACED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE SEQUOIA STILL SHAKES BADLY. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FIRST REPAIR CENTER, WHICH HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT ROTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD THAT IT IS HARD TO STEER. IT HAS CAUSED THE TIRES TO BECOME OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND I HAVE SINCE BOUGHT FOUR NEW TIRES. I NOTICED THAT LOTS OF TUNDRA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I HAVE ENCOUNTERED TWO PEOPLE IN MY TOWN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SEQUOIA. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT, STEERING
I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND PURCHASED A NEW 2002 SEQUOIA WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS. SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING FELT LOOSE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHENEVER I SHIFTED THE GEAR HANDLE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THE DEALER ALSO FAILED TO DOCUMENT MY CONCERNS INTO MY VEHICLE'S SERVICE RECORD HISTORY. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER RECEIVED ANY MECHANICAL DAMAGE OR HAD ANY TYPE OF WORK OTHER THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE TO IT. NOW, HERE I AM WITH A TOYOTA VEHICLE WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES AND A PIECE OF METAL HAS SNAPPED INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEFECTIVE PARTS FAILURE HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND THE SLIGHTEST BUMP TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO AND FROM DIFFERENT GEARS WHILE OPERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, BUT THAT THEY WOULD DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP ME OUT WITH THE PROBLEM. I INFORMED THE DEALER TO SAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART, BECAUSE IT NEEDED TO BE EXAMINED FOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. AT NO TIME DID THE DEALER EVER MENTIONED, MUCH LESS OFFER TO HAVE TOYOTAS ENGINEERS EXAMINE THE DEFECTIVE PART. I SHOULD BE RECEIVING THE DEFECTIVE PART WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS PROBLEM WAS STRICTLY DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PART, YET TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA'S LACK OF QUALITY AND ESPECIALLY IN IT'S LACK OF SERVICE COMMITMENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA PRODUCT AND WILL DEFINITELY SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT TOYOTA'S REFUSAL TO WARRANTY AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. *JB UPDATED *JB0 6/01/06

EQUIPMENT, SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA POWER ANTENNA PROBLEM. ANTENNA WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY EXTENDING UP AND DOWN, ALONG WITH A MIDDLE ROW SEAT BELT RETRACTION PROBLEM AND THE PLASTIC CAR HINGE PROTECTORS ALWAYS POPPING OFF WHEN ONE FOLDS UP THE RIGHT MIDDLE SEAT. I WENT TO ROSEVILLE TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE ANTENNA FOR APPROX $200, BECAUSE THE GROOVES WERE WEARING OFF, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS IT BECAUSE OF HAVING TO PAY $200. HAVING ONLY HAD THIS "FAMILY" CAR DRIVEN AROUND TOWN FOR 2 YEARS, I DIDN'T THINK A TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THUS THAT'S WHY WE KEEP BUYING TOYOTA. THE MANAGER OFFERED TO FIX IT FOR $60. I RELUCTANTLY AGREED AND FELT THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO ACCOMODATE ME. THREE MONTHS LATER, IT'S NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AGAIN. WE BROUGHT IT TO ROSEVILLE TOYOTA AGAIN, ALONG WITH A MAJOR SCHEDULED $600 TUNE-UP, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS TIME, THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COSTING $325! HOW CAN A POWER ANTENNA HAVE THIS MUCH PROBLEMS ON AN EXPENSIVE CAR LIKE THE SEQUOIA? WE BOUGHT IT AS A FAMILY CAR EXPECTING NOT TO KEEP SHELLING OUT MONEY FOR A 2 1/2-YEAR-OLD CAR. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING LITTLE FIXES LIKE THIS FOR A CAR WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS A QUALITY BUY. WE EXPECTED PAYING FOR THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, BUT ITS PRECISELY AVOIDING THIS "MISC FIXES" IS THE REASON WE BUY TOYOTA. NOW WE HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT REALLY KEEP BREAKING DOWN BECAUSE OF THE IMPLIED QUALITY. THE SIGN OF A GOOD QUALITY CAR IS THE AMOUNT OF LITTLE FIXES THAT NEED TO BE DONE WHICH SHOULD BE NIL. WE HAVE HAD OTHER MANUFACTURERS BEFORE AND KNOW THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT CAN ADD UP BECAUSE OF THESE "FIXES." I SINCERELY HOPE THAT TOYOTA CAN ADDRESS THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT AND SHOW THAT THEY ARE A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY THAT ADDRESSES THEIR CONSUMER NEEDS. *NM *TR
