Faults:

A Toyota dealer replaced the rear door latch that had failed and left the broken pieces inside the door, which now rattles when driving. Cost: $268.00.

While driving up a 5% incline in Jacksonville, lost over 50% power and all my warning lights came on. It seems that Toyota has a major design flaw in the engine. The air pump assy. went bad, which Toyota knew of the problem and never notified me they had an issue. My cost after I complained to the dealer was $1700.00. Mileage: About 70,000 miles.

Driver's side seat needs to be repaired with new frame and leather replaced. Cost should exceed $1500.00.

General Comments:

Unless you can get a bumper to bumper warranty up to 100,000 miles, I would never buy a Sequoia again. Also, it is my opinion that Toyota dealers do not take the necessary time to diagnose the problems, but only replace parts.
