I am taking my 2001 toyota sequoia for the 4th time to have the rotors worked on. The first two times, they just turned them. The third time, they replaced them. This time they are replacing them. The truck only has 28,000 miles on it and I believe this is excessive for a new vehicle that I drive very carefully.
Warped rotors.
Brake rotor vibration
Consumer states" every 3000 miles the vehicle brakes are being replaced. Due to brake pedal having to be pressed to the floor before they stop vehicle. Dealer has replaced brakes and rotors. Please provide any further information. Ts
We have a toyota sequoia, the problems are the 4 wheel drive is not operating all the time. It does not engage, when it does sometimes it does not stay in 4 wheel drive. One example is when my wife had six friends in the vehicle the 4 wheel drive did not stay engaged and the vehicle skid control made the engine loose power so she slid backwards down a hill. No one would ride in our 4 wheel drive again. The vehicle skid control activates at radom on dry pavement. The skid control makes the engine loose power while in traffic. There is also a hesitation in the engine when accelerating from a complete stop. Another problem is the braking system is anot adequate for the vehicle. The entire front brakes had to be replaced. The vehicle has been in for the same reairs at least five times and is still not working the way it should. We have all the documentation for service on our sequoia. We have done internet research through the federal safety agency and have found the same problem with other toyota sequoia's.
I bought a new 2001 toyota sequoia. The brake pads and rotors had to be replaced at 5,000. I now have 15,000 mi and both again have to be replaced because the car shivers when braking on a hill or suddenly. I have the extra care warranty (6 years, 100,000 miles), but the toyota dealer is saying it will occur again and that they cannot do anything about it, nor cover it again under warranty. I drive this car very carefully. I have kids and cannot afford to be braking hard all the time. Brake problems in a busy, trafficky city like l.a. Can be dangeroous. This is also a new car and seems like a manufacturing defect. I just wanted you to be aware of the problem in case other sequoia owners are experiencing the same problems. Thank you.
Brake problem presented itself by the vehicle vibrating when braking from high speed. All brakes required servicing and then replacement. Emergency brake required adjusting three times within 20,000 miles. When only one window is open at speeds greater than 30 MPH, causes severe pressure vibrations inside the vehicle interior. Pressure vibrations extremely distracting and annoying.
Brakes were repaired 6 times. While driving applied brakes and vehicle shook violently.
Anti- skid control system mode solenoid sensor/ ABS brakes can activate at any random time. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated there was nothing wrong with vehicle.*ak the skid control system activated five times during the first week of puchase, but had not occured since. However, the consumer does not feel confortable because of possibility of reoccurence.
