The lock actuators in the doors are notorious for going on more than normal it's another very common issue with the seqouia. My driver one is bad right now. And clearly the window motors are faulty cuz I had 3 bad at once I fixed one but my sunroof and back tailgate window both do not work. It is also a very common problem

The rear window motor and window tracks have rusted completely. The motor has failed and the window tracks are completly rusted away. The window is not unoperable. There is a short in the o2 sensor wiring underneath the vehicle. There is currently a recall on the above vehicle regarding frame rust. I believe that the above complaints are directly related to the rust issues that this vehicle has.

I purchased this vehicle in 2007 with 43,000 miles. Since then I have driven 30,000 miles in 4 years. When I first pick this car it looked great. The day I picked it up it had a dent in the back, and the dvd player didnt work and was replaced. There was a water leak that toyota had to repair and remove an odor associated with it. Later, I brought it in to have my gas tank level indicator repaired but was told that it was time consuming and basically was advised that the dashboard had to be taken out so, I didnt get it done. I replaced my battery, constantly had my oil changed, as the paint started to peel on my left front fender. Tie rods were replaced that had broken, which was covered by the platinum coverage that I purchased for 1000.00. Ive had a vsc logic relay replaced and trim repaired that was lifting off. Now my coverage on the platinum plan was over 4-10-2010 on the 17th of august my rear window would not go down, about three days later the brake light came on. On the 19th the 4 wheel drive control initiated and when its initiated to go off the center will continue to be engaged, blinking. Even till today when the vehicle is started up you have to dis-engage the 4 wheel drive. So I took it to toyota . Thats when this final horror began. I had my oil changed (sunday), and the next day (monday) I took it back for service. After they ran a diagnostic trend heres what I was told: the rear window motor was bad and needed replacing even though they know of the problems associated with the rear windows. 690.00 master cylinder assembly.1165.00 ccnter differential.2134.00 serpentine belt and tensioner.492.00

Trac,vsc, brake light had been coming on and then going out. This particular incident involved them coming on during a turn into traffic at which time all power was lost nearly causing an accident. Dealer treated this as 2 different problems:an induction service was performed for the "hesitation" at my expense, and a brake booster gasket and assembly were installed under the warranty. The lights continued to go off and on from time to time, but the car did not lose power again after this "fix".the lights continued to come on and off intermittently until in august 2006 the check engine light and vcs/trac lights came on and would not go out. This time, my dealer replaced the oxygen sensor at my expense. Now, with 70,000 miles on 9-26-07 the vsc/trac & check engine lights came on while traveling on the road and will not go out on turning off the engine as they sometimes did in the past. I believe after reading all the complaints about this problem on various internet sites some sort of action should be taken at toyota's expense. I am also filing a report about the new rear window motor and hatch release handle I had to replace in july on this vehicle which also is mentioned in many reports I've read on the internet. I can't tell you how many failures on the light situation I've had because they've been in the dozens.

Rear window stopped working. I had about 55,000 miles on my toyota when this started. My rear window would not roll down. A few weeks later, I tried it and it worked, then next time I tried to roll it down, it failed again. I was just told today that it was the motor and it would be $300 for the part and $200 for labor. Come on.... This car is not that old......

Toyota sequoia - consistent failure of the traction control system while driving. This issue has been addressed by the dealer multiple times to no successful repair. We also have had significant issues with the rear window seals leaking and causing the window motor to fail.
