#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: 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)

Replying to: shark715 (Aug 04, 2009 8:21 am) shark715: We had few 2009 models in Canada but looks like they skipped that year in USA because there was too many 2008 left on inventory. I think I've read somewhere that someone got a 2009 in California, if it's true that would be extremely rare.

Replying to: hdfatboy (May 03, 2009 1:03 pm) Hey hd. Remarkable to hear that your car runs perfectly. Now I'm also having problems when engagain 4wd. The steering feels like it's going to sieze, then it releases. I'm also having a lot of vibrating thorugh the steering wheel. What else can go wrong? Maybe it's time to get rid of it!

Replying to: johnc09 (Aug 29, 2009 4:39 am) I have a 2008, have 16000 miles and mine was doing the same thing, i think they had to replace the rack and pinon steering. The seals were out of it. It vibrated alot in the steering and always pulled to the right, finally the noise was bad.
