#1847 of 1871 Passenger door popping noise by kb24tw Apr 30, 2009 (8:37 am)
I just got my 08 Sequoia Limited 4x2 two weeks ago has 200 miles only on it. I noticed every time i open/close the passenger doors makes a popping sound. Is that normal or not? already put wd40 and didn't work. Is anyone here has the same problem? please help me on what to do? thanks!

Replying to: johnc09 (Apr 21, 2009 4:39 pm) To johnc...I also own a Plat Sequoia 08 with 26000 miles. Its been absolutely troublefree...no rattles and nothing has had to be addressed by the dealer other than oil changes and tire rotations every 5K miles.   I drive hard and tow an 8000+lb boat and my overall mileage after 25K is exactly 14mpg. My mileage began to improve after the first 5k miles so you might want to be patient until the engine breaks in abit further. There's no tow vehicle I've owned that is even in the same league as the Sequoia and this statement comes from a guy that has towed for over 20 years with 2 different 3/4 ton Suburbans and a Denali XL.   I just had my 25K service and the mechanic said I had at least 20,000 miles left on my front brake pads and 30,000 miles left on the rear...and that's after a fair amount of towing last year. No GM tow vehicle I've ever owner could go 50,000 miles on the original brake pads. I was lucky to get 20K miles. Based on the remaining tire tread, the tires will last at least as long as the brake pads.   Sorry to hear about your rattle issues however I've had none in my black/red rock interior Platinum. This vehicle has been of the highest quality I've owned which includes over 20 vehicles including many GMs, 4 BMWs including a 740il and various other Toyotas and Nissans.   I will however agree with you on those features that should absolutely be included on a vehicle of this cost at the top of the model line: HIDs should have been a must Smartkey with push button start was also a must Rain-sensing wipers, how could they leave these out when they are included on my 5 year old Avalon? I agree on linking the brightness of the temp read-out to the dash gauge brightness Would it have been too much to ask for a light behind the mirror controls for night operation?...seems like someone fell asleep at the design table on this one. Was it really necessary to require the ignition key be turned in the ignition before the mirrors can be folded or unfolded? This is a definite design annoyance and completely unecessary. The Toyota GPS is a disaster. They should junk it and just buy Garmin or at least get rid of their law department that has placed the nanny controls on this Nav system. And while they're looking for design improvements, how about adding an extra couple of inches to the slide rails of the front passenger seat to let it go back further.

#1851 of 1871 Sequoia Nightmare. by kb24tw May 21, 2009 (9:13 am)
We went to Los Angeles, ca last weekend with my family driving our Sequoia 08 limited has 1300 miles on it. The nightmare started on our way home to Sonora, ca which is 5 to 6 hours drive. Cruising along I- 5 north after 60 miles away from LA suddenly the engine starts to loss power, vsc and check engine lights went on its like its stock on a first gear in the middle of the freeway imagine we are with my 4yr old kid and a 10 month old baby its a scary situation. I'm running about 70mph then it starts to slowdown to 30mph on a fast lane so i have to pull it over then called a towing service then took it back to the nearest local dealership now we have to stay for another day in La cause its Sunday everybody is close. So the following morning then they check it on whats wrong with car and they didn't found anything so they said its safe to drive it so we did after 60 miles again same road same exit the vsc lights and check engine went on again, the engine is stalling again and this time we almost got killed because i have to swerve to a truck lane with a 30 mph speed so its really scary and called the towing service again and forgot to tell you we have to ride inside the towing truck with my kids without an a/c. its is really stressful and traumatic. we have to go back to the nearest dealer again. and its really disappointing investing 55k car just TO put your fAMILY LIVES in danger. now they are still tryin to figure out whats wrong with it. so this nightmare is still to be continued.............I shouldn't have traded my honda to a Toytota.....

Replying to: tidester (May 21, 2009 10:30 am) Yes they are still working. The dealer where i left my car called today they said they don't know whats wrong with it they check all the codes etc. Now the Toyota Specialists are going there to check.....

Replying to: johnc09 (Apr 21, 2009 4:39 pm) So, basically you had a minor short circuit in a power mirror, and loose trim. My 05 F-250 has had the fuel pump replaced FOUR times. My 06 Suburban died on my wife 2 days after we got it, another in-tank fuel pump replacement, and the climate control would go to hot at random. Had the control replaced 3 times, 300.00 each. The only complaint I've had with my new Sequoia is the rear suspension. It seems to sag a little when I pull my 28' camper and 19' ski boat (doubles). The Tahoe I traded in wouldn't even pull the camper by itself over 55 mph. And as far as rain sensing wipers and push button start, I like to do some things myself, like shift the Sequoia's 6 speed double overdrive transmission in the sequential shift mode. Sounds like you were expecting luxury rather than sport utility. Thats why they call it an SUV.

Replying to: manavi (Apr 30, 2009 7:18 pm) Manavi, the dealer closest to me (Green Brook, NJ) does have several 2010's on the lot. Looks like they just skipped the 2009 model year entirely, is that correct? Replies to this message: ratm (Aug 04, 2009 10:27 am)
