2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

I OWNED A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ENTERING A ROADWAY OR ON AN HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER DUE TO THE VSC, ABS TRAC WARNING LIGHTS AND ENGINE LIGHT, THESE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL ALSO, THIS POSES A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, I FIND THAT THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHEN GOING THROUGH A BUMPY ROAD. I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO GET THIS FIX, I FOUND THAT ALOT OF CUSTOMER ON THE INTERNET HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM ALSO. *TR

2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA ELECTRICAL ISSUES-AIR CONDITIONING COMES ON SPONTANEOUSLY WITHOUT INITIATION BY DRIVER, BACK WINDOW ALWAYS FAILING TO OPERATE PROPERLY, NOT OPENING OR CLOSING @ TIMES, NOW STUCK CLOSED, TRACKING DEVICE COMES ON FOR LONG PERIODS WITH USED & NEW TIRES, EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS PROFESSIONAL ALIGNMENTS, AND PROPER DRIVING, ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS ON. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT , THE SUV HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY TOYOTA ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, AND PARTS HAVE REPORTEDLY BEEN REPLACED, HOWEVER, THESE ISSUES CONTINUE, THERE ARE ALSO NO DEVICES IN PLACE TO KEEP THE DRIVER'S MAT FROM CURLING OVER THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. *TR

DRIVING MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN SUDDEN DECELARATION OCCURRED. VSC, TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON, ALONG WITH WARNING BUZZERS. VEHICAL ALSO PULLED HARD TO RIGHT. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF. DEALER STATED THAT COMPUTER REGISTERED A ROLL OVER. THEY DID NOTHING TO SOLVE ISSUE.

TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE (2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 2WD) WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT REQUIRES EXCESSIVELY HARD BRAKING EVERYTIME. THIS OPERATIONAL CONDITION WAS FIRST OBSERVED WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS BY ME. *TR

TOYOTA SEQUOIA 2002 ABS, PARKING BRAKE LIGHT AND TRAK WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON AND STAY ON WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS. TOYOTA DEALERS SAY THAT THE COMPUTER IN THE ABS SYSTEM IS BAD. THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING THRU A BUMP OR AN UNEVEN TERRAIN LOSES POWER MOMENTARILY. IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN, ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE PASSES ON BUMPS. I CLAIMED TO TOYOTA THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DESIGN PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT. REPAIRS ARE ABOUT 3 TO 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

02/TOYOTA/SEQUOIA/SEQUOIA LMT V8 VEHICLE ACCELLERATION/ TOYOTA REP. INPECTED , YES A PROBLEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 108,000 MILES. FROM WHAT I AM READING, THERE ARE A LOT OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THE 2002 SEQUOIA AROUND THIS MILEAGE. IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH HE SUDDENLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLES STOPPING DISTANCE CONTINUED TO INCREASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE REAR CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 149,000.

2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LIMITED 4WD. AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AFTER 71,000 MILES. AS A RESULT, THE DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK. WINDSHIELD AND SIDE MIRRORS FOG UP DURING COLD/RAIN. CANNOT SEE CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. HAVE TO OPEN WINDOWS IN SNOW/RAIN/COLD. NEED NEW AIR COMPRESSOR. TOYOTA SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE COMPRESSORS BUT I AM RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE AT A COST OF OVER $3,000. I FEEL THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN AFTER SO FEW MILES AND TOYOTA HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MANY, MANY OTHERS ONLINE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME DEFECTIVE COMPRESSOR. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR ALL OR PART OF THE REPAIR ON A $45,000 TRUCK THAT HAS SO FEW MILES. *TR

MY 2002 SEQUOIA HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VSC LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF. TODAY JANUARY 30, 2010 I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I THINK IT IS BRAKE FLUID BURNING ON THE ENGINE. I PARKED THE SUV AND WILL CALL THE DEALER. IT HAS 98,000 MILES AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY LEFT. *TR
