#1821 of 1870 looking for answer to why 08 sequoias stopped in production by AWL Feb 16, 2009 (10:17 am)
I'm investigating buying a new 08 sequoia and heard from a dealer they had stopped production on these and have not announced when it will start again.   aanyone have any info. Was this because of a mechanical issue or a more of a sign of the financial times? Replies to this message: amheck1 (Feb 16, 2009 10:24 am) shark715 (Feb 16, 2009 12:18 pm)

Replying to: AWL (Feb 16, 2009 10:17 am) My dealer told me financial reasons. Said they make the 08 model year, skipped the 09 and will resume 10 production this summer. Sa,e dealer is saying that everything on the lot or in transit now is what we got. Nothing new until this summer.

Replying to: AWL (Feb 16, 2009 10:17 am) It's due to extremely slow sales, but your dealer does not have all his facts quite correct. Production at the Princeton plant was completely stopped from August to November last year, and now there are going to be some more temporary production stoppages. Here's an article from the Indianapolis Times dated 1/16/09:   Posted: January 16, 2009 Toyota's two truck plants near Evansville will halt production temporarily this winter on the Sienna and Sequoia assembly lines.   The 4,600 workers will still report for duty and continue getting paid, or they can volunteer for unpaid leave, Toyota spokesman Mike Goss said.   Toyota is cutting output throughout North America to halve the inventory of unsold vehicles on dealer lots. At the Princeton, Ind., complex, production has been canceled for 17 days in March and early April in the Sequoia full-size sport-utility vehicle plant, and eight days in February and 13 days in March in the Sienna minivan plant.   During the Sequoia down time, the assembly plant will be readied to also produce mid-size Highlander SUVs, a model slated to enter production late this year. Sequoia output will continue on the same line. The Sequoia plant opened in 1997 for assembly of full-size Tundra pickup trucks. Toyota last year moved pickup production to the new Tundra plant at San Antonio, Texas.
#1824 of 1870 Re: Removing 2nd Row seats? [1200843] by karend1 Feb 17, 2009 (11:08 am)
Replying to: 1200843 (Feb 14, 2009 10:33 pm) The official answer from Toyota was that it can not be removed. However, several dealers told me it was possible as they have to remove it to change the carpet if necessary.   However, I did read some where that the console in the Platinum could not be removed because it had the wiring and controls for the heated second row seats. Not sure about it though. Replies to this message: kiiwii (Feb 19, 2009 7:58 pm) bmlexus (Mar 03, 2009 11:52 am)

Replying to: karend1 (Feb 17, 2009 11:08 am) the dealer will say anything to have you buy their cars.   I was helping family to shop for a new car 15+ years ago. I forgot if that's a V6 Camry or Cressida (spelling?). To save cost, I asked if dealer can remove the power seat and replace with manual ones. The low life sales dude said sure no problem.

#1826 of 1870 rattling noise under hood by vgermann Feb 20, 2009 (9:38 am)
I have an '08 Platinum and hear a rattling noise at back of hood at high speeds. i am pretty sure its the washer hose which is not well secured and for whatever reason there is no insulation. Anyone else have this problem? if so, how was it repaired?

Replying to: karend1 (Feb 05, 2009 1:48 pm) What color is your interior.......I have captains chairs in Sand Beige leather and would love to put the Bench in. We have three dogs and thats the only reason I fold the seats down. Would be nice to have a solid back. Hate the opening between the seats when down.   Wanna trade?   Mike

Replying to: hdfatboy (Feb 03, 2009 5:36 pm) When I first started reading this string of complaints about the rattling I said I bet it's the same problem I was experiencing but never bothered to post because I said folks will not believe me or think I am crazy...Well hdfatboy is just as crazy as I am ...it was simply my shoulder strap buckle hitting against the side panel...I am just a fussin & cussin bout how I have spent 50+ on this truck for it to sound like a tin can, pulling over tryin to figure out where this most irritating noise is coming from...my daughter says, "Mommy it the seat belt hitting the side of the door", duh...adjusted the seat belt problem fixed...Also, to the Plat. owners why are you guys trying to replace seats with the bench instead of purchasing a Limited initially...is there really that many more features in the Plat. to loose addtional seating...just curious

Plat Owner here and love the 2 Captains chairs in the back with the center console in the middle. Not sure why the other poster is calling the center console a Captains chair - its just a center console with a fold up/out lid that lays flat. We use this as a TOYBOX for the kids - versitle 100% for us. If I had more than 2 kids I would ahve not opted for the the Sequoia - I would have looked into a ESV ETC - to carry larger stroller etc...   Hear some rattling here as well - assumed it was someting in the child seats but now will have to check it out.
