Toyota Sequoia problems

toyota logo

The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size SUV manufactured by Toyota mainly for the North American market since 2000 for the 2001 model year, being derived from the Tundra pickup truck. It is the second largest SUV ever produced under the Toyota brand, after the Japan-exclusive, military-focused Mega Cruiser.

Previously manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana between 2000 and 2021, and then in Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas in San Antonio, Texas since 2022, the Sequoia is the first vehicle from a Japanese marque in the popular mainstream full-sized SUV class in North America, and initial planning done by first-generation Sequoia chief engineer Kaoru Hosokawa aimed the Sequoia directly at the Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Tahoe, Nissan Armada, and other full-size SUVs.

Up until the 2021 model year, the Sequoia was slotted between the mid-size 4Runner and the premium Land Cruiser in the North American Toyota SUV lineup. With the discontinuation of North American sales of the Land Cruiser from the 2022 model year onward, the Sequoia became the flagship SUV in Toyota's North America lineup.

As of 2021, the Sequoia is sold in the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica. It is offered in left-hand drive only.

Common Toyota Sequoia problems

The Toyota Sequoia, like any other vehicle, has its share of common problems that have been reported by owners. Here are some of the most frequently mentioned issues:

  • Premature Front Lower Ball Joint Wear: Some Sequoia models have been reported to have premature front lower ball joint wear, which can cause hard steering and even loss of vehicle control if the ball joint separates from the knuckle. Toyota has issued recalls for some Sequoia models to address this issue.
  • Airbag Deflator Module Chemical Imbalance: Some Sequoia models have been reported to have issues with the airbag deflator module chemical imbalance, which can cause the airbags to deploy with too much pressure. This issue has been the subject of recalls and investigations by the NHTSA.
  • Unprompted Activation of the Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC): Some Sequoia models have been reported to have issues with the VSC system, which can cause the brakes to engage suddenly and the vehicle to shake or jerk to the side. This issue has been the subject of recalls and investigations by the NHTSA.
  • Frame Rust: Some Sequoia models have been reported to have issues with frame rust, which can weaken the vehicle's structure and potentially lead to accidents. Toyota has agreed to extend the rust perforation warranty and fix the undercarriage on some affected Sequoia vehicles for free.
  • Transmission Problems: Some Sequoia models have been reported to have issues with the transmission, including transmission failure and issues with the torque converter. These issues can be expensive to repair and potentially lead to accidents.
  • Faulty Oxygen Sensor: Some Sequoia models have been reported to have issues with the oxygen sensor, which can cause the check engine light to illuminate and potentially lead to issues with the vehicle's emissions system.

It is important to note that not all Sequoia models will experience these issues, and many owners have reported positive experiences with the vehicle. However, it is important to be aware of these potential problems and address them promptly if they do occur. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent many of these issues and ensure the longevity and safety of the vehicle.

Previous driving had been extremely unstable and buckled when I was on the highway. Since discovering the frame issue, I stopped driving the vehicle. I believe this is a safety issue caused by a defective frame that Toyota is aware of and had issue a past recall for. The Toyota dealer has made a video of the deteriorated frame and has commented that the vehicle is a safety issue.

  • Components: WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: My vehicle has randomly been flashing vbs/abs/traction control lights. Sometimes nothing happens other than the flashing lights. Other times I’ll be driving & when going around a curve my car makes a beeping noise (sounds like the abs noise activated) & I’ll feel a pulsing under the brake & hear a grinding sound. It doesn’t allow me to brake effectively. Another time I was coming to a stop behind a car at a red light. It was clear as day, roads weren’t wet & I couldn’t have been going over 10 mph. When hitting my brakes, my steering wheel kind of glided back & forth for a sec and it felt like my tires “floated”in the same motion as wheel until it stopped.

    Hello there! Thank you for considering this SUV. While it may have some issues, such as brakes that need replacement too often, doors that won't stay open, and a poor speaker system, it still has a lot to offer. We understand that getting to the rear seats may not be the easiest, but we hope that you'll find the overall experience enjoyable. Thank you again for your interest!

  2. Johnathan Becker 2025-03-25

    Great truck! Although it may be a bit overpriced, it's perfect for long distance travel. However, it may be a bit difficult to use as an everyday vehicle.

  3. Antwon Heathcote 2025-03-21

    Vehicle year: 2002

    The truck has proven to be a reliable vehicle, particularly in challenging weather conditions such as snow and rain. However, there have been some minor mechanical issues, including power locks, windows, and antennas, that required repairs. Despite being out of warranty, these repairs cost over $2,000. In order to improve the truck, Toyota should consider implementing fold-flat middle and rear seats that do not take up as much storage space when removed. Additionally, the engine could benefit from a slight power boost.

  4. Erwin Altenwerth 2025-03-17

    Vehicle year: 2003

    I have driven my SUV for 120,000 miles to date. Fortunately, the warranty covers the new VSC board. However, it was frustrating to have to visit the dealer five times to figure out why the interior VSC light and brake light kept coming on. Currently, at 115,000 miles, the brake light comes on intermittently, which can be scary as it affects the truck's braking. This happened to me a few weeks ago while driving in the snow, and I had to restart the engine to reset the brakes, which was challenging on the highway. As someone who bought a Toyota for its reliability, I have been disappointed with these issues. Even the oil gauge stopped working when I drove it off the lot, despite being brand new and costing $48,000. It took three trips to the dealer before they could fix it.

  5. Rodger Schneider 2025-03-07

    Vehicle year: 2023

    The 2008 platinum model we have is fully equipped. We waited to upgrade until the new body style was released. Unfortunately, the website does not reveal the vehicle's negative aspects. The new version is quite loud and small, which makes it unsuitable for our needs. We used it as a truck to haul heavy items, but the new version does not allow for that. The third row has a hump that prevents us from comfortably fitting our family and hauling items. The lack of a console between the captain seats in the upper models is also a deal-breaker for us. We require a comfortable and spacious vehicle with ample storage space. Overall, the new version does not meet our needs and expectations.

    Vehicle year: 2017

    We have used this Sequoia for almost everything. It worked flawlessly when we hauled a large vacation trailer through Canada (8,000 miles) and has plenty of power to go anywhere. There is lots of room for people and storage, and it appears to be designed for easy driving with a great turning radius. Maintenance has been minimal, except for the brakes, which have been problematic. The rotors heat up and warp, causing them to 'bounce' when you apply the brakes. We have had to replace the brakes and rotors several times, and unfortunately, the problem reoccurs.

  2. Zachery Rice 2025-03-28

    You made an excellent choice with this vehicle! It's great to hear that you and your wife were so impressed with it right from the start. Not only is it a pleasure to drive, but it's also incredibly capable - even when towing a 5,000 lb boat! The interior is well-designed and very functional, with flexible seating that provides plenty of room for everyone. It's clear that a lot of thought went into making this vehicle as comfortable and convenient as possible. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!

    This has been a great vehicle! Just passed 322,000 and still going strong.

    After searching for a few months for my second vehicle, I finally decided to go with the Seq. I looked at different models and styles such as MDX, RX330, Expedition, minivans, BMW740, GX470, VWs, Landcrusier, etc. I test drove a lot of different vehicles, but my gut feeling tells me that this is the one that suits me and my family. I have been a proud owner of the Seq for 1.5 months now and it has proven to be the best fit for us. Not a single problem at all and the fuel mpg is at 14.7 showing in the trip computer, which is not too bad as I thought it would be. The RWD mode drives like a BMW X5 in cornering.

    This is my second Toyota SUV and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! We previously owned a 2000 Land Cruiser which was also amazing. After trading our Lexus GX470 for the Sequoia, we are back to Toyota and we couldn't be happier. The Sequoia is perfect for our family as it is spacious enough to accommodate kids and strollers. The towing capacity is also fantastic, which is a huge plus. It's amazing how you no longer have to buy an Escalade or something similar to tow 10,000 pounds. GM, watch out! Although I have a few complaints about the Sequoia, such as the lack of a front middle parking sensor and personalized settings for the front seats, it is still an overall great truck.
