problem #6

Feb 132004

Sequoia

  • 120,000 miles
The vsc light came on after my 2001 Sequoia hit a pot-hole. This was back in 2004 and the light remains on. I was told it was a sensor. The vehicle is long out of warranty and I can't afford any expenses right now. That's just one of a few major components to go. In 2003 the torque converter went and the transmission had to be replaced. I had 88,000 miles on it and it was beyond the 60,000 drive train warranty. However, Toyota did pay for half of the $4000 bill with the dealership picking up a 1/4 of the bill. I paid the rest. Was paying half an admission by Toyota that they provided a faulty transmission. I do know that the dealership removed the old transmission and shipped it off to Toyota and I never heard another word about it. The brakes on these big vehicles have been a sore spot with me. I've had to change brakes and rotors numerous times over the years. And last on my list of complaints is the tailgate. It has rusted out prematurely and it is more than a $1,000 to replace. I use bungies to keep it closed up and I had to prop the window up since the tracking system in the tailgate rusted out and fell apart.

problem #2

Jun 212008

Sequoia

  • 188,000 miles
While driving at a rate of 70mph the vsc trac and trac control warning lights came on. The car decreased in speed and veered to the right, causing me to momentarily loose control of the car. Per owner's manual took car into dealership for diagnostic. Per codes obtained via diagnostic dealer suggests replacing yaw control sensor and ECU. After researching this issue myself it seems to bean issue with the 2001 Sequoia and its ECU, yaw control sensor, and the steering angle sensor that could result in serious harm or injury if not corrected.
