#20 of 62 2002 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Failure by elizablue

May 05, 2008 (1:59 pm)

I have just had the transmission on my 2002 Sequoia fail. I called the 800# for customer service only to be told to try to make a deal with the dealership as my car was out of warranty.
 
I am very disappointed with the quality of Toyota. I have experienced two separate occasions where the coil packs had to be replaced. Now the transmission on a 2002. I am tired of hearing that this is not the norm for Toyota.
 
Every forum I go on I find at least 8-10 owners with this same problem. So one has to wonder why Toyota has not had a recall. My dealer is telling me it's going to cost about $5k to replace.
 
I just filed a complaint with the National Highway Traffic and Safety. I would suggest more of us do the same. Since Toyota is refusing to acknowledge they have a problem.
 
Many people are citing that debris from other mechanical parts that have failed such as the a/c housings got into the transmission and caused it to fail.

My 2003 SR5 just started having the jumpy shifting. It waits a very long time before shifting, and then jumps to the next gear. I have 95,500 on it. It just started wtihin the last 4K miles or so.
 
thoughts?

Today while driving my Sequoia would be slow on accelerating from a stop. It was like it was "fighting" to get into gear. Slowly it would reach about 35 mph and then jerk into gear. Any ideas?

#28 of 62 Transmission problems? by dxy

I have a brand new 2010 sequoia limited less than 200 miles, I noticed something weird though not sure if they are problems.
 
1. When I brake in low speed in parking lot, from time to time, I felt the car "jump" forward a little bit. It seems like I wrongfully step on the gas instead of the brake, of course, I am sure I stepped ed the brake. The problem, however, is not repeatable.
 
2. If I push down the gas pedal very gentle, the transmission gear shifts, the rpm stays around 2000 and the speed goes up. If I push down the gas pedal in medium hard steadily, the gear shifts to the second or third, and will not shift to upper gears. What I see are: the rpm goes up higher and higher to 3500-4000 and the speed goes up to 50+ miles/hour. (I didn't try longer and/or harder.)
However, if I release the gas pedal and push the gas pedal again, the gear shifts, and rpm goes down to 2000.
 
Are these problems? Many thanks,

Did you find out what the problem was? My wife's 06 is doing the same thing? It only has 37,000 miles on it!
