thats all long standing problem if you ask me. this is not like toyota and never should be. im feel betrayed by a company i both had been faithfull to and reccomended to everyone i know. people need to speak up about the a/c problem because to many dont know what to do.
Prior to buying the Toyota, I looked at the Chevy Tahoe and Nissan Armada (previously owned a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder and loved it) SUV'S. While the Nissan had more power, I was amazed at how cheap the interior was! The Chevy was nice but I couldn't get over my past experiences with GM products and the local dealers reputation isn't as good as our local Toytota.
I truely believe the Sequoia is a superior SUV. You might want to list your complaints and try another dealer for the repairs. As long as cars are built by humans, there will be problems - God knows I have had my share over the years (Chevy Citation & Pontiac Sunbird sound familar?) but a good dealer will always try to fix the problem and gain a happy customer for the next purchase.

You didn't mention the year of your Sequioia, but I too have that same vibration.
TACOMA TRUCK AND SEQUOIA SUV OWNERS MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTE!
Today May 18th. Toyota issued a NHTSA Campaign no; 05V225000 concerning a suspected suspension problem with the lower ball joint, on some Tacoma Trucks, and Sequoia SUV's from 2001 - 2005 model years. I own a 2003 Sequoia SR5.
The dealers will be replacing the lower ball joints on identified affected vehicles.
Toyota will be notifiying owners of vehicles suspected of been affected by this starting on July 15, 2005. If you feel work is necessary sooner, you can call Toyota at 1.800.331.4331, and/or your Toyota Dealer and explain the symptoms.
NHTSA Has A Safety Hotline to call; 1.888.327.4136 Hope this helps, Rob
I did not receive a notice of this, but I moved into a new house a year ago June and so maybe it didn't get forwarded.
I am also very happy with my Sequoia (2002), no major issues. The broken shifter bracket, not covered under warranty, is only about a $200 fix. I also had some issues with rear axle seal that was replaced under warranty, so no big deal. I have not had AC or brake problems that others with my MY have complained about in the past on this forum. Hope this recall is what you need to fix your problem!
I have ask for the area tech represenative to call me.
What were the symptoms/problems and error codes that lead to getting a new transmission?
Thanks
From what I am reading now and what the service advisor tells me, the problem occurs on the 2001-2004 models but has been corrected in 2005 model. I'm wondering if anyone else is having the rotten egg smell in the 2005 model.
I cannot believe that Toyota is not recognizing this problem. If I had known about the rotten egg smell or even a chance of having the problem, I would not have purchased the vehicle especially with the price tag on the sequoia.
400 miles I started to notice an irritating vibration in the gas pedal at cruise -especially at 30-50 mph. Seems to go away at higher speeds. Engine is not
lugging, nor does it feel tranny related. Just feels like something causing a vibration. Anyone else have this problem??
I have a 2002 Sequoia and at 37,000 miles the drivers side door handle cracked and then broke off. Now at 40,000 miles the passenger side door handle is cracked and will break off the next time some tries to use the door. This is frustrating for me as a Real Estate Agent. I have people in and out of the car often. I hate to have to tell them wait a second don't open that door! They then ask about the problem and I explain I have not had the time to go in and pay $110.00 for the repair. My first vehicle was a Toyota and have owned them ever since. This one issue has troubled me for many reasons including safety.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I am not unaware of this problem as my mom, a co-worker & my husband's employer all had the same problems on their Sequoias. My issue is that my truck is just out of warranty & the dealership wants $1300 to replace my computer sensor when my mom's was repaired under warranty a couple of months ago b/c her's went out at 36K miles. Of the 3 other owners, one other was in warranty & the 3rd got half of his repair paid for. I have reported this to NHTSA complaint site & saw numerous complaints about this problem. There are also numerous complaints on this forum about the same issue. Can anyone provide me some useful insight about why there has not been some type of recall?
Also, can anyone give me some guidance on getting Toyota to pick up all or some of the cost of the repair? I have a meeting with the district factory rep tomorrow to discuss this. Thanks
On turns, especially right turns when trying to accelerate into fast moving traffic I experience a total loss of power with no acceleration. I am pumping the gas pedal and pressing it to the floor, and I just coast slowly into the oncoming traffic and wait to be rear ended at any second. This happens in dry road conditions, and seems to occur more often when the engine is cold. My skid/traction lights blink for a second or two, then I re-gain engine power another second or so after that. I have also noticed my steering has become very stiff when driving in very slow situations (parking lots, driveway etc.), I don't know if this is related.

Has the area tech got hold of you yet? Any answers? :mad:
My advice to potential buyers would be "BUYER BE WARE". You might want to look at another make of vehicle until Toyota gets back to producing quality vehicles.
i am having trouble witn back window also.
i called dealership they want to charge me 80 bux to look at it .
and technician stated that (we told him problem) it mght cost 300 bux
any solutions to my problems
Juts logical reasoning, not sure if it is right or wrong.
Thanks,

A secret warranty arises from some technical service bulletins (TSBs). TSBs are notices that the dealer service departments receive from manufacturers alerting them to known problems with their vehicles and what the suggested repairs are. In some cases the dealer is instructed to replace certain parts or make certain repairs free of charge, even though the vehicle is out of warranty. By law, TSB repairs covering emissions equipment are free of charge to the customer for up to 100,000 miles.
