  This vehicle has been everything I could ask for. It was a life saver for the blizzard of 2003!

  Think of what this car/truck is - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By DAB - April 6 - 10:00 am

  Sequioas have had some A/C compressor issues, Tranny issues, iterior issues. All of which have come and gone. I just wanted to say that the VSC kicking in when pulling out in traffic when one of the rear wheels slips a little bit is the biggest complaint. It cant be turned off without being in 4WD The Gas Mileage: 16.5 average city/hwy Brakes: 3mm left after 54k miles so about 25% left. Also what no one has said that I can find is that it really excels in 4wd on windy gravel roads - that is when the vsc really does help - and it is a WHOLE lot of fun. I could not go half that speed with my miata without spinning out.

  Great Truck, Poor A/C - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By BigDaddy - March 18 - 10:00 am

  I am loving my Sequoia when it is not in the shop. The truck has been in and out of the dealership for the last two months for repeated A/C failure. If it not the compressor its something else. To add insult to injury the parts for the truck are always on "back order."

  Great SUV - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By John D - September 24 - 2:00 am

  Have had vehicle for 3 years and love it! Typical Toyota quality. Fantastic in 4WD, great on and off road stability. Tires last about 25,000. VSC an annoyance when taking a corner!

  Extensive Frame Rot! - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By mcfly3 - July 4 - 2:51 am

  On December 28, 2011, I brought my 2001, Toyota Sequoia in to be serviced for rear brakes and to get the oil changed. My certified mechanic called me at home and strongly suggested that I come in to see what he discovered while my vehicle was up on the lift. So I stopped in to take a look. He showed me extensive rust holes in the middle of the frame welds on both the passenger and drivers side. He also pointed out that the rear differential case has severe rust damage. He strongly urged me to stop driving the vehicle and stated that it is unsafe in its present condition and that he has never seen such extensive frame rust damage on a vehicle this well taken care of. The drive train, outer body, and interior are in mint condition. I also have always made it a point to power wash the salt (calcium chloride) off the under carriage after driving in the Northeast after snow or ice storms, when salt is used on our roads. I contacted my local Toyota dealership and they gave me the phone number to Toyota Headquarters. The end result was, they were sorry to hear that I had a rotted out frame and suggested that I get rid of the vehicle because there is currently no recall for the Sequoias. Although, after going online at the Toyota forum I found out that theyre are over 300 consumers with the same type of issue with their Sequoia frames in our state, so I do not stand alone. I am floored that a company like Toyota, that prides itself in being committed to safety does not care and will not take ownership when they knowingly used cheap Japanese steel to build these faulty frames. I currently have three young children and this is my primary vehicle. I cannot afford to throw $8 K away (Kelly Blue Book) on this vehicle. BUYER BEWARE!!!

  Greatest thing on wheels - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By NG - May 31 - 10:00 am

  I got rid of a Lincoln Navigator to get this hunk of a SUV. If it were a man I would marry it.

  This is a great car - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By kathy - April 20 - 9:33 pm

  We have three boys and two dogs and this is the perfect car for us. It rides like a car, but has so much power. We have towed a travel trailer across 5 states with it like a breeze. We are a tall family (my 15 yr old is 65") and this Sequoia is very comfortable for all of us to ride in. Even the 3rd row seat has adequate leg room. We have been very happy with this SUV.

  Big mistake - 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  By aaa - April 6 - 3:40 am

  First of all, I am an experienced mechanic. My wife wanted this car for the kids, she likes it. When I drive this truck here are the things I find wrong with it: right rear blind spot, you have to fold down the right rear seat to see your blind spot and to reverse, brakes issues (2 sets of pads & rotors in 1 year) suspensions is very poor, interior is cheap, as far as engine and transmission goes Toyotas quality is there. Other than that I would rather buy the Yukon or Tahoe, its a much better quality truck thank the Sequoia any day. If you have the money to spare, then buy the Landcruiser of which Toyota put a lot of quality and its day and night compare to this piece of junk Sequoia
