problem #2

Nov 292011

Sequoia 8-cyl

  • 65,789 miles
The plastic latch on the rear door of our 2005 Sequoia broke in November 2011. We had it replaced at the dealer for a cost of $300. Fourteen (14) months later, the plastic handle has broken again. This car has only 75000 miles and has been garage kept its entire life. The dealer offered a discount on the labor but nothing else. The mechanism to adjust the side view mirrors was adjusted several times during warranty but has never worked properly. The radio changes stations at a whim and the dvd player quit working right after the warranty expired. The driver side sun visor has an extremely sharp end that must be hammered back periodically. And, the front and rear wheel bearings had to be replaced at 75000 miles.

problem #1

Sequoia

  • 56,000 miles
One bolt and brackets of wind deflector of 2005 Toyota Sequoia fell off of vehicle and other bolt was loose. Bracket was hanging down. I noticed this after driving and parking. Concerned that wind deflector could have flown off the vehicle into the windshield of my vehicle or another vehicle while moving. I immediately took the vehicle into Toyota. I spoke to the parts and service manager and was told that I would have to replace the part at a cost to me of $55. This is a leased vehicle with a safety issue that should be addressed and replaced at the cost of Toyota. The wind deflector came on the leased vehicle which I advised them was to be turned in by August 30, 2010.
