Faults:

Transmission gave out, dealer replaced, so far so good.

Mass airflow sensor finally died, had to be replaced.

I cannot recall the exact name of the part, but it was a type of pulley that caused the car to whine very badly while idling.

Check engine light stays on, but the engine runs very well.

Back hatch handle has broken.

Sun/moon roof is probably fine, but it couldn't close itself, so I just don't risk opening it anymore.

General Comments:

The car has been an absolute joy to drive and own. Other than the one time the transmission left my mother and I waiting for a tow truck, it has been as reliable as a bicycle.

The ride is absolutely sublime, and it feels very safe even in rain. That's mostly due to its size, which continues on the inside. This car will swallow your entire family, the dog, your kitchen sink and your luggage. :)

Now I wouldn't suggest hardcore off roading even with the 4wd (which I don't have), because of its weight. But, light and even pretty extreme off roading can be tackled. My 2wd has never gotten stuck while off roading.

Like I said above, some little things have gone wrong, but taking into consideration that the car is eight years old, and it was used, and now has 145,107 miles to boast, this is a very good car.

Also every morning and every evening, it is driven like a rally car very quickly up and down my extremely rocky, muddy and pitted private road, and still has the same suspension it rolled out of the factory with, so yes it is a very good car.

Faults:

Air conditioner went out at 111,000 miles.

General Comments:

The air conditioner went out at 111,000 miles. That was not an issue for me, I expect some things to go wrong with this many miles. What WAS an issue for me was the cost to repair it. $3,200.00!!! Then I discovered that this is a known problem with the Sequoia as well as the Tundra. Yet the manufacturer did not do a recall on this issue.

I have filed a request for assistance with the repair cost, and am awaiting a response from customer service. I sure hope they help me out, I don't feel anyone should ever have to pay that much money for the repair of an air conditioner, no matter how many miles are on the car, especially when this was a known problem.

Faults:

I have a 2002 Sequoia with 91,000 miles on it. Yesterday the A/C light started blinking, so I called Toyota to take it in for service. When I received a phone call that my com-presser went out and it would cost me $3800.00 + tax to repair, I just about fell out of my chair. Needless to say I did not and will not pay that ridiculous amount of money on this repair. It's a good thing winter is here, so I won't need air for about 8 months. I agree with the others, Toyota needs to step up to the plate and take care of this problem. There needs to be a recall for this problem.I've owned 6 Toyota's over the past 18 years and have never had any problems at all. I might be shopping for a different make next time around.
