Surprise! The dealer doesn't hear the knocking! I advised them to keep it there until they do, since three non-trained, non-technicians heard it plain as day on Sunday. I told the manager that if he can't hear it than I'll send them to Miracle Ear for a fitting. I am so sick of service departments.
BTW, I also told them about the VSC activating inadvertantly while in 4WD. The manager told me not to drive on dry roads while in 4WD or it might bind! Hehe. Do these goofs even know the product they're working on? Full-time 4wd is just that, is it not? I think I'll be moving to a dealer that knows their product a little more thoroughly.
area ...went to toyota 9 times Feild REp say this is normal?!?
went to arbitration with toyota ...LOST.. toyota says it's in the design of car
Is lemon Law may only out .. Family DOESN"T feel safe in truck
Also why is that 50% of these toyotas have these problems and 50% don't..
Toyota told me They can do NOTHING else to help me and to take it else where if I am not happy with this NORMAL OPERATING truck...
We have a couple of friends with NO prblems
I was wondering if you could assist me on the sites I could look at the specific recalls. My 2002 sequoia from 900 miles has had that thumping, and an alignment issue. They replaced the drive shaft and the problem went away for a few months, but the problem is back. I went to (alldata) but the dealer states that they are just TSBs and no recalls. Any solution for that thumping that you know of. Thanks in advance for any assistance you could give. thanks
I got this recommendation from your reply and called toyota today, and they told me besides doing this exact thing (greasing the propeller), they will do something else to allieviate the thumping issue. As far as my alignment issue, I need to see if I could find the numbers for the alignment a few people have mentioned.
Thanks so much for your all your input on this site.

#1 of 2 Blown Amplifier by srm3 May 06, 2004 (3:56 pm)
Recently, I took my 2003 Sequoia to the Toyota dealer to check on the the loud buzzing sound that was coming fron the small speaker that is located on the driver side window. The dealer told me that I had a blown amplifier that might of been caused by the after market DVD system that I had installed about six months ago. As a courtesy, the dealer is going to replace the amplifier for free this time since the vehicle is still under warranty. Has anyone had this problem? The DVD player was installed under the front passenger seat with a 7" Audiovox monitor with TV tuner mounted on the ceiling. The dome light and part of the overhead compartments were removed to accommodated the monitor. Sound system is tied in with the factory JBL 6 cd player/ radio.

Please copy/paste your message to the Toyota Sequoia Owners: Problems & Solutions discussion. That'll help any other owners thinking about adding a DVD and maybe someone has had a similar experience. Thanks!

I would also ask how you powered your tie in and the DVD player.
Any other high mileage Sequoia's - what else do we have to look forward to.
The design incorporates a new suction tube design to improve durability and the replacement of the compressor if siezure has occurred. If you're out of warranty you're screwed. My suggestion is to check for TSB's every so often so you're not caught off guard. This fix has been out since June 2002, had you known you could have had it fixed then. Give me an email and I'll direct you somewhere you can check on these things easily.

Has anybody checked the frame area above their Sequoia exhaust pipe for corrosion??? Just checked my '02 sr5 with only 24k miles and the dang frame is rusted so badly that I can flake it off. You can see how the exhaust gases have just about destroyed that area. Dealer says he doesn't know what to tell me!???
If you look at most other SUV's, exhaust pipes extend past bumper area. Not on mine. It ends about 4 inches shy which exposes rear frame to tremdously corrosive gases.
What should i do?
