2006 Toyota Sequoia Other Problems

Your vehicle's frame on the rear passenger side has developed severe rust that makes it unsafe to drive on rough roads. The Toyota dealer quoted $14,000 to replace the frame, and you've stopped driving the vehicle since January 2022 due to safety concerns for yourself, your passengers, and other motorists. You've contacted Toyota directly requesting they cover the frame replacement cost, but they declined. Addressing this will likely require professional frame replacement or repair at a certified shop.

Your traction control (track off) unexpectedly deactivated while driving, causing your car to slide to the right. After this happened, all warning lights on your dashboard illuminated, and your diagnostic scanner couldn't read any error codes from the computer. This issue suggests a serious electrical or brake system malfunction that needs immediate professional diagnosis.

Your vehicle has significant frame rust and corrosion. This structural damage can weaken the integrity of your car's chassis and may affect safety. A professional inspection and rust repair or frame replacement will likely be needed to address this issue safely.

You discovered that the vehicle's Carfax report shows more mileage than what your odometer currently displays. This suggests the odometer may not be recording mileage correctly, or the vehicle's mileage history may have been altered. You should have a Toyota dealer inspect the odometer and review the vehicle's service records to determine if there's an electrical or mechanical issue with the odometer system.

REAR HATCH. REAR HATCH HANDLE MADE OF PLASTIC. HAS BROKEN TWO TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. DEALER CHARGES $400 EACH TIME TO REPLACE. TOYOTA SHOULD NOT MAKE CARS WITH SUCH CHEAP PARTS. CANNOT GET INTO VEHICLE.

MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS LOCKED IN THE JEEP UNABLE TO GET OUT IN A 90 DEGREE WEATHER. ON JULY 1ST THE JEEP WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET IN BRIDGEPORT NEW JERSEY. I CAME OUT THE VEHICLE THEN LOCKED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND HURRIED TO BRING A BAG WITH FOOD INSIDE EVEN THOUGH PASSENGERS WERE STILL EXITING THE VEHICLE. MY SON WAS NOT READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT CLOSED. LATER HE TRIED TO EXIT THE JEEP AND EVERY TIME HE TRIED TO OPEN THE JEEP DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD LOCK AND THE ALARM WHO OFF. HE DID THIS QUITE A FEW TIME AND WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE JEEP. HE HAD TO CALL SOMEONE ON HIS CELLPHONE TO HIS AID. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. WHY DID THIS HAPPENED? IS THIS A DEFECT? WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP THAT I HAVE TO TAKE?

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I DECIDED TO BRING IT IN TO GET IT CHECKED AND FIXED. MY SIGNALS FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHTS AND VSC TRACE LIGHTS ALL GO ON AT THE SAME TIME PERIODICALLY AS I AM DRIVING ANYWHERE ON THE FREEWAY OR THE STREET, AND DISAPEAR PERIODICALLY. I THOUGHT I HAD FIXED EVERYTHING WHEN THEY DIAGNOSED 5 THINGS ON MY VEHICLE THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. ONE OF THEM WAS MY MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS THAT ARE MAKING MY LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF. TO WHICH I WENT AHEAD AND LET THEM FIX IT AND MANY OTHER THINGS AND STILL IT IS NOT FIXED AND CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S MESSING WITH MY BRAKE SYSTEM.
