problem #3

Apr 042012

Sequoia SR5 8.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,000 miles

I bought this SUV with 35000 miles and less than a year later the transmission failed, I called Toyota for help and they refused to help, and the manufacture warranty was just expired. I end up paying $35000 for this stupid Sequoia out of my Pocket.

Toyota knew that a lot of 2001-03 Sequoia transmission has been fail but they don't care to help.

Shame on Toyota.

TOYOTA BEEN INFORM VERY WELL THAT STUPID SEQUOIA TRANSMISSION ARE NOT GOOD. THEY SHOULD RECALL THEM BUT THEY FAILED TO DO SO.
