2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

VEHICLE "LUNGES" FORWARD AFTER BEING STOPPED (AT A RED LIGHT MOSTLY). FOOT IS COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND ON THE BRAKE WHEN THIS OCCURS. SOMETIMES HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY, SOMETIMES AFTER A MINUTE OF BEING STOPPED. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE PEDAL NEVER RELEASED. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE INREASED TO 90 MPH. THE CONTACT PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND CHECK TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE, BUT FOUND THAT IT WASN'T THE FLOOR MAT. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE DEALER PREFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FEELS THIS YEAR SHOULD BE ADDED TO RECALL NUMBER 10V17000 REGARDING THE STICKY PEDAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

CANNOT FUEL MY 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. GAS STATION PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF NO MATTER WHERE I GO TO PURCHASE GAS. HAVE TO HOLD HOSE ABOVE MY HEAD, AND BREATH IN THE GAS FUMES. MY WIFE CANNOT FUEL CAR AT ALL. TOYOTA HAS WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THIS MATTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT OTHERS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE TUNDRA PICKUP ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. ALSO WHILE IDLING THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL FORWARD. A MASTER TECHNICIAN WAS THEN SENT BY TOYOTA , BUT HE COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 24,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE (SUCH AS WHEN AT A STOPLIGHT), THE VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY LUNGE OR CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN BRAKE IS FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ALTHOUGH YOU MAY BE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT FOR OVER A MINUTE, THE CAR MAY STOP MOVING WITHOUT YOUR BEING AWARE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ALL OVER MESSAGE BOARDS FOR SEQUOIA OWNERS AND ALSO REPORTED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE VEHICLE "LUNGES" OR "ROLLS" FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH BRAKES FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS TOYOTA MESSAGE BOARDS FOR SEVERAL TOYOTA MODELS OF VARYING YEARS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER COMES TO A FULL STOP AND THEN THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING (WITH THE BRAKE FULLY DEPRESSED). *TR

2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WOULD NOT RESTART, KEY WOULD NOT TURN. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE MECHANIC TOLD HIM IT WAS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK. MECHANIC ALSO STATED THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THIS FAILURE. *KB THE CONSUMER HAD TO PULL REALLY HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SUCH AS FAILURE OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM, POOR CRUISE CONTROL PERFORMANCE AND FAILURE OF THE DVD PLAYER. *JB

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! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SUV AND THE REAR DOORS DO NOT STAY OPEN UNLESS THEY ARE OPENED VERY WIDE (FULLY). THIS HAS CAUSED THE DOOR TO CLOSE ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN CLIMBING INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO SECURE MY CHILDREN IN THEIR SEATS. ALSO, IT IS A DANGER FOR THEM AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL CAUSE IT TO CLOSE. THE DOOR WILL STAY OPEN IF FULLY OPENED, BUT THE SPACE REQUIRED TO DO SO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN MOST CONSUMER'S GARAGES. THE MIDDLE DOOR CHECK WAS ORIGINALLY FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE BY THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY WERE REPLACED ON BOTH REAR DOORS. NOW THE PROBLEM APPEARS WORSE. THE DOOR USED TO STAY OPEN IN THE MIDDLE DOOR-CHECK POSITION *MOST* OF THE TIME, BUT NOW MOST OF THE TIME IT CLOSES WHILE SECURING THE CHILDREN. THE TOYOTA DEALER CONTACTED TOYOTA, BUT THEY SAID IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED, THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD MANY CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I DON'T REALLY EXPECT ANYTHING TO BE DONE, I JUST WANTED TO RAISE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED-AT FOR FUTURE MODELS. *TR

AS YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOPWITH FOOT ON BRAKE SUDDENLY IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE. *AK
