The secondary injection system has failed. Toyota is aware of this defect and has extended the warranty for this issue on 2008-2010 sequoia. The 2007 has the same engine and same defective parts but toyota will not cover the replacement. Hey should cover all vehicles with the same engine types because they are all going to have the same issue! This repair can cost the consumer up to $3600. The vehicle makes a loud sound upon starting and the trac and ABS light and check engine light appears. My vehicle is at the dealer but in my opinion toyota should repair these vehicle free of charge especially if this is a known issue.

The secondary injection system has failed at 125k miles. Toyota is a aware of this defect and has extended the warranty for this issue on 2008-2010 sequoia. The 2007 has the same engine and same defective parts but toyota will not cover the replacement. This can cost the customer upwards of 3k to fix. Customer satisfaction? Not so much. Guess I'll put the money into another vehicle but not a toyota.
The secondary air injection pump has gone out. This particular component has a know defect issue with toyota. Toyota extended the warranty on 2008-2010 sequoias with the exact same engine as my 2007 but they will not cover my vehicle. If they know there is an issue and they are will to extend the warranty of some vehicles, they should cover all vehicles with the same engine types because they are all going to have the same issue! This repair can cost the consumer up to $3600. This is a scam in my opinion.
I was driving on the highway. Suddenly my truck began vibrating harshly. Soon after, the truck stalled out. I had no braking or steering assist at all. The truck wouldn't start so I couldn't pull off to the side of the road. Being stuck in the middle of a busy highway was a frightening experiment. I had it towed to a local independent shop. The service technician found a broken intake valve spring. This is a costly repair for a truck with only 68,000 miles on it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota sequoia. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the traction control and engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 62,000.
While the vehicle was traveling at about 40 MPH it suddenly loses engine power and the vehicle becomes hard to steer. Both the vsc off and trac off lights came on. I had to pull to the side and the car died completely. I turned off the car but could not turn it on immediately. I waited for about 5 minutes and tried again and it started up fine, but after I drove for less than half mile the same issue happened again. It happened a total of 6 times within a couple of miles. Since then it's been happening every few days. Took it to my mechanic but they could not pull a code. Searching online it seems this is a common problem that happened to many 1st generation sequoias.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota sequoia. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times while steering to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic that was unable to locate a failure code. The vehicle was also test driven, but the failure did not duplicate. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 64,000 and the current mileage was 65,000.
I had just stopped at a red light when my SUV shuddered and then stalled out. It restarted but the A/C light blinked. The dealer said the A/C froze up (at 42000 miles) and needed to be replaced for over $1700.00- not under warranty. It will be fixed in the next month or so. If the light had not changed when it did I may have stalled in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in virginia beach ( so unsafe there are red light cameras at that intersection). Prior to this the A/C had worked perfectly, so there was no warning that this would happen.
Began acceleration from 35 MPH progressing to 55 MPH, accelerator left my foot, engine sped up to over 5,000 RPM, applied both feet to brake pedal with all my weight, engine continued to race above 5,000 RPM, put car into drive 1 with no change, engine raced, put car into neutral and engine continued racing over 5,000 RPM, was able to steer car into a ditch, turned off ignition. The check engine light was blinking during this event. I was never able to stop with my brakes. I maintained both feet on the brake pedal during the event with my entire body weight on the pedal and the car never, ever stopped racing.

Exhaust fumes in interior when accelerating.
I have 2007 toyota seguoia, in the last 2 months I, as well as my friends, have noticed a very strong odor of exaust fumes accumulating in the cabin of my SUV when: -accelerating to pass -decelerating from passing -stronger when A/C on and in "recirculate mode" -also when just regular A/C on the fumes have caused my friends to become ill with nausea, headaches, and sleepiness. The fumes have caused me to become very sleepy when travelilng, and my friends say my thinking is off in last couple of months. I took to local toyota dealership, and they told me that they did not notice it? Then told me they would not investigate it further because no notice was out? My SUV has 24k miles on it, I have owned it for one year. This is a severe passenger safety issue, it is going to cause someone to fall asleep at the wheel, and kill someone else or self. It is also danger to passengers in car in multiple avenues. I think this needs to be investigated asap! Thanks!
