2001 Toyota Sequoia engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2001 toyota sequoia had an issue with "check engine" light at approximately 77,000 miles. It pulled the p0155 code that indicated failure of oxygen sensor. Toyota had at least two technical service bulletins on the issue showing this problem as widely known. What is more, on tundra vehicles (that have the same engine)toyota recognized the issue by extending the warranty on sensors and on that specific code up to 90000 miles. The repairs cost was almost $340, pulling the code (5 min) and replacing the sensor (15 min) was charged at 2 hrs of labor. Toyota customer service refused to cover repairs. Customer service case 2007-07250397.
2001 toyota sequoia. When I shifted from reverse to drive the engine roared to a fully racing engine and accelerated forward. Hard braking could not slow the vehicle and it hit the back of a 2004 honda mini-van that was parked, doing extensive damage but causing no injuries.
My vehicle is a 2001 toyota sequoia with 39000 miles and the air conditioning compressor failed. I brought to the toyota dealer and the compressor is a dealer only item. Cost of repair is $3140!!!! Now I have a $50,000 truck with no air.there is a ntsb out on the truck that should be a recall. The compressor has to be defective.
The front braking system on 2001 sequoia was replaced and upgraded. *mr the brake jobs were performed at the following mileages: 15k, 25k, 30k, 55k, and 74k miles. The left wheel rattled over the rough road, the rear left strut made a noise when going over bumps due to a broken shock, and the engine light had come on. *sc
Bought november 4th 2000. New tires at 20000. Smelled exahust when vents are in recylce mode. Have a damaged exahust manifold at 55,000. Dealer has sated that none of these are under warranty. I have heard of other people having same problems. I buy toyotas for reliablity and service. I feel that I have not had the service nor the reliability expected. It would be a good sign of committment if totyota does honor a solution to these two problems, exahust manifold/exahust entering cabin.
While driving at high speeds exhaust fumes entered into the cab of the vehicle.
We have a toyota sequoia, the problems are the 4 wheel drive is not operating all the time. It does not engage sometimes and does not stay in 4 wheel drive. One example is 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 4wheel drive again. The vehicle 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 not adequate for the vehicle. The entire front brakes had to be replaced. The vehicle has been in for the same repairs at least 10 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. There was also a problem with the air conditioner having a bad oder from bacteria growing, the exhaust manifold was loose and the power window motors made a loud noise. We have filed a complaint on all the same problems with the federal safety agency, comsumer affairs of california and you. We want to pursue the lemon law and get our money back. We are currently working with toyota arbritration but are getting nowhere. We have had toyota's previously and had no problems with them. This vehicle is a lemon.
Nar 02/28/2003 mr a strong smell is coming from the exhaust when accelerating.
After meeting with district parts and service operations manager steve carlson on 9/23/02. I''ve come to the conclusion that toyota will not fix the problem I have with the smell coming from my 2001 sequoia. First of all, I had to call the dealership at 10:30 in morning to make sure that the manager was going to be there. Second is that I got the run around about I should try a ''for fun and giggles'' by not running my recycling mode when driving with the A/C on. Third is that when the front windows are open I''m still getting the worst smell of exhaust coming from the rear. I understand his point about the balance of air with opening and closing of baffles in the rear and front of the vehicle. I want to make a note that the venting of this vehicle without the recycling on is the worst I''ve had in all the vehicles I''ve owned. The idea of asking me to use the front vents instead of recycling is a catch 22. Where if I keep the recycling on and smell the exhaust smell with it''s 0% emissions in my vehicle compared to opening the front vent and smelling the car in front of me with who knows what. Fourth, I have to get enough people to complain about this problem before toyota will do anything to fix this design fault
