2014 Toyota Sequoia problems
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 2014 Toyota Sequoia problems
The Toyota Sequoia 2014 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. Here are some of the issues in detail:
- Power Window Master Switch Failure: Some second-generation Sequoias, including the 2009 model, have experienced issues with the driver's side power window master switch. Debris and moisture can enter, causing the switch to short-circuit and melt.
- Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC) Issues: Unprompted activation of the VSC system can cause the brakes to engage, shaking and jerking the vehicle to the side. Toyota recalled over 50,000 Sequoia SUVs to address this issue.
- Rust Issues: Many Sequoia owners have complained about the SUV's rusting problems, particularly its frame. The large metal frame is very susceptible to rust and corrosion, causing the SUV to rust out quickly.
- Transmission Problems: Earlier models of the Sequoia were reported to struggle with transmission issues, which can be expensive to fix, with repair costs potentially reaching $3,500.
- Faulty Oxygen Sensor: Many reports of the 2001-2004 Toyota Sequoia models' defective oxygen sensors have been made, causing the check engine light to illuminate.
These issues highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections for Toyota Sequoia owners to ensure the longevity and reliability of their vehicles.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM THAT POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO LIFE AND LIMB OF THOSE WHO OPERATE IT AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARBY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SO BADLY LIGHTED IN THE DAYTIME THAT DURING BRIGHT DAYLIGHT HOURS WITH THE INSTRUMENTS BEING SHADED BY THEIR LOCATION WITHIN THE PANEL THEY CANNOT BE READ. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER WHO IS TRYING TO CHECK INSTRUMENTS WHILE ALSO DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ONE REALLY NEEDS TO USE A FLASHLIGHT TO SEE SPEED, HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE AUTO AND TO CHECK ON OTHER FUNCTIONS SUCH AS OIL, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, RADIO TUNING AND OTHER ITEMS REFLECTED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SORT OF LIKE ?TEXTING? WHICH OCCUPIES AND DEMANDS ONE?S ATTENTION WHILE TRYING TO ?SEE?

THIS IS THE THIRD TOYOTA I HAVE USED OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT IN EACH OF THE VEHICLES, THOUGH WITH THE ABOVE MODEL THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE RATHER THAN BETTER. TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED?WHICH HAS PROBABLY ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR

This car is amazing! As a mom of two boys who play basketball and travel for baseball, it's the first vehicle that can carry all of their equipment and still have room to spare. The luxury of the Platinum level will spoil you and your family, making small weekend trips to the baseball field and long vacation runs to the beach a breeze and more enjoyable for everyone!

When looking for a dealership, it's important to do your research. You may be surprised to find that some dealerships charge thousands more than they should. If a dealership claims to be charging only invoice and making only a small profit, be wary - this is often a tactic used to gain your trust. In my experience owning several 4Runners, a Tundra, and 2 Sequoias, I have found them to be incredibly reliable. I personally wouldn't recommend spending money on an extended warranty, as they can often be a rip-off and unnecessary. Unfortunately, when you bring your car in for service, it's common for mechanics to try and sell you on additional repairs. It's important to be aware of this and not let them pressure you into spending more money than you need to.

Are you having problems with your 2014 Toyota Sequoia?
Robin Schuster 2024-11-16
Ok - I started with a much longer review, but ran out of space. If you are looking for a car that will make you feel slightly cool and powerful and take you out of the 'mini-van world', then this may be the right vehicle for you. However, if you are like me and value aesthetics, performance, and amenities, you may be disappointed with this over-priced vehicle for the masses.
Kale Kutch 2024-07-05
We recently purchased a 2011 Toyota Sequoia. Unfortunately, we have found that many of the most important functions of the navigation system, radio, media system, etc. are inaccessible while the car is in motion. We understand that this may be a safety feature, but it has made it difficult for us to use the car as we had hoped. We believe that it is important for car makers to prioritize both safety and usability. Despite this issue, we still appreciate the many great features of the car and hope that future models will address this concern.
Orrin Stoltenberg 2024-03-06
We're sorry to hear about the issues you've had with the sonar sensors on your Sequoia. We understand how frustrating it can be to experience problems with your vehicle, especially when you've been a loyal Toyota customer for 17 years. We appreciate your honesty in sharing your experience with us. We want to assure you that we take all customer concerns seriously and strive to provide the best possible service. We're glad to hear that the dealership was eventually able to diagnose and fix the issue with the sensors. We understand that safety is a top priority for you and your family, and we want to make sure that your vehicle is equipped with the best possible safety features. We hope that you'll continue to enjoy your Sequoia and that you'll consider Toyota for your future vehicle needs. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Toyota.Toyota's take? You should always abide by state driving laws if you don't feel safe, and you should never rely solely on your sensors. Thank you, Toyota! Although I could have paid less and not gotten sensors, I appreciate the added safety features. I have always been a loyal Toyota customer and I hope to continue driving their cars. However, I am disappointed with this experience and I hope Toyota can address this issue in the future.

I recently traded in my 2014 Toyota Sequoia with only 7000 miles for a 2014 Suburban. Although I know that trading it in one year was not a financially wise decision, I am much happier with the Suburban. The Sequoia is easy to handle and turns and parks like a much smaller car, but unfortunately, it has some downsides. The steering wheel hurts my shoulders on long drives, there are a lot of blind spots, there isn't much headroom, and the small size of the gas tank is a problem. Additionally, the Sequoia actually gets worse gas mileage than the Suburban. All in all, most of my complaints are about the comfort, and I believe that this car may work fine for a shorter driver but not for tall drivers.
