  Do your homework before you buy - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By kaylavalet - November 5 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle has been a big disappointment. I have owned several Toyotas in the past and they have been great. This probably explains all of the high ratings for the Sequoia. Based on Toyotas reputation, I think this vehicle gets greatly overrated. Where do I start? With the constant clacking noise. I have heard or read this described as piston slap, valves, etc.... Dealer is in serious denial. Claims there is no problem. Oil sensor out. Computer diagnostic failure, etc....

  Best In Class - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By Nat Hooker - July 29 - 2:00 am

  The only real drawbacks with this SUV are gas milage & the driver seat does not go back quite enough. I have had 4 Suburbans including one currently. The Sequoia blows it away. It may be a tad smaller (length & cargo) however it is three times the SUV.

  Terrible Reliability - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By AZ Owner - July 26 - 12:26 am

  120000 mile on SUV to date. Thankfully, warranty covers new VSC board. It did not cover all my time wasted (5 visits) at the dealers trying to figure out why the interior VSC light and brake light kept coming on. Now, at 115,000 the brake light comes on intermittently. When light is on the truck brakes differently and it scares me. Happened in the snow a few weeks ago. Engine must be restarted to reset the brakes. Kinda tough on the highway in the snow. I bought a Toyota for reliability, its been anything but. The oil gauge quit working when I drove it off the lot, brand new at $48,000.00. Took 3 trips before they could fix it.

  jim in tucson - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By jimmoore50 - June 5 - 10:00 am

  Great road vehicle. Almost unflappable on the highway no matter the conditions. Strong engine makes long hills a breeze. A little slow off the line. Great leg room in front and second row. Easy to fold second and third row seats. Retractable rear window lets hot air out fast. Auto feature on front windows great. Great ventilation system. Quiet moonroof when open. Very quiet on the road. Above 75 mph is unbelievably quiet for this size vehicle. Okay gas mileage. Traction control will take the vehicle anywhere in 4 wheel and almost anywhere in 2 wheel. Easy to use and accurate cruise control. Incredible cup holders.

  Electrical Problems galore - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By Atlanta ALA - April 2 - 9:10 pm

  Comfortable SUV; easy to handle; Unfortunately we have had persistent electrical problems that the dealer has been unable to repair, or at least repair properly. At times the headlights would not turn off or if turned off would automatically turn back on. The rear window got stuck a few times and would not function. Overall, it could be a great SUV, but for the money it was very frustrating not being able to get it properly repaired. It is our understanding that the dealer called Toyota a time or two for help.

  The vehicle drives like a luxury car. The gas mileage could be improved in future models. Great color combinations and very reliable during the inclement weather.

  Great SUV. The fuel mileage is less than expected(15MPG highway). Great for family and long trips.

  Not bad for the money. - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By GScale - October 24 - 10:00 am

  Great quality. Drives like a bus, very heavy. Averages 15 mpg. This was expected. Tire wear was very poor, this vehicle came from the factory with Dunlop tires and I expect to have to replace them at around 20,000 miles. There were 2 minor defects when purchased, the sunroof leaked and the vehicle was out of alignment. Over all this is a good SUV and we are pleased with it.

  Improve MPG for Best in Class! - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By Bobav4 - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I drive over 20,000 a year and need comfort. This vehicle is that comfort I needed. But, the fuel MPG is worse that I was led to believe from the Dealer and the window sticker. Great ride for long trips.

  I made a good choice - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
  By dmab63 - June 12 - 2:00 am

  Large vehicle, but very easy to handle. The ride is comfortable. The back seating has plenty of room and I have heard nothing but good remarks from all who have riden in the back, including myself.
