  Nothing but problems - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By laura alvarez - March 2 - 6:03 pm

  Problems with vcs, trac, abs lights coming on and medal grinding noise when making a right turn, it has been taken in several times to the Toyota dealership and they cant figure it out, read all the reviews about this problem and decided not worth the hassle and felt very unsafe driving it, returned it for another vehicle, 2006 gmc Yukon what a shame for being a Toyota; had a Chevy 2003 suburban for 6 years 120,000 miles, not one problem other than fuel pump, should have kept it!

  Almost Great SUV - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By Florida SR-5 - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I was excited about my first Toyota. I drive mostly highway miles. It had a pull to the right and my arm would be fatigued after trips over 15 mins keeping it straight. Many trips to the dealer later no fix. At the Lemon Law hearing the mech. expert who drove it agreed, but the other two who didnt, sided against us. I was shocked and stuck with it. Later I took it for a routine alignment at a different dealer and explain my past problems and they fixed it just like that. My ratings are based on it pre-fix, as Toyota assured me there was nothing wrong it then.Hope you dont have a problem because Toyota has your money for life.

  toyota has some lemons - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By billboxman - April 24 - 10:00 am

  We have had our Sequoia repaired by the dealership 10 times in the past 18 mo. for VSC concerns and activation. toyota replaced the master brake booster @1135 miles,front calipers rotors and pads @17000 miles and again @ 34000 as a TSB.after going to arbirtation, I won toyota will replace my SUV with a new one. But toyota made it as hard and as possible, didnt care about my families safty or LIVES, and tryied to discredit 7 of the 10 repairs because the dealership didnt charge toyota any money, but still tryed to repair. In closing, stand up for your legal rigths even if toyota trys to make you give in.

  Spare Key - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By Bob - October 22 - 10:00 am

  Just purchased my Sequoia used as a second vehicle. Spent a lot of money on new timing belt, serpentine belt, battery, replacing transmission fluid, etc. - which I anticipated and I am OK with all that. Seat belt retracter and gas gauge that failed right after purchased disappointed - but I still hung in OK. The big surprise that completely turned me off was a replacement ignition key (just the key!) to replace the lost key that did not come with the vehicle - $628 quoted! Unbelievable. From what I understand, an electronic module has to be replaced to work with a new key. Knowing that up front - I would not have purchased the Sequoia.

  Sunroof Problems - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By marsimms - August 17 - 10:00 am

  We just purchased this vehicle less than a month ago and have had to make several trips to the dealership with it. Our most distressful problem is the poor interior build quality and a sunroof that squeaks over bumpy roads to the point of distraction. As I type this review, the roof still squeaks and no one at my dealership seems to know what or why it is doing this. The slogan should read, "interior by mattel". Also, the rear audio plate looks like its falling off even after THAT was replaced. After spending 50+ thousand on this truck I want to kick myself. There are better values out there.
