You discovered a significant mileage discrepancy with your 2010 Toyota Sequoia after purchase. The odometer showed 90,586 miles when you bought it, but Carfax records indicated the vehicle actually had 260,000 miles. This suggests the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back. You'll likely need to work with your state's motor vehicle department and potentially consult a lawyer, as this is considered odometer fraud.

After turning off your Sequoia, the dashboard lights stayed on even though other systems (dome lights, radio, heater) turned off normally. When you tried to restart and shut down the engine, it wouldn't stop running—it kept going even after you pulled the key out. You'll need to have the ignition switch and electrical system checked, as the engine not shutting off is a serious issue.

While driving, you hear clicking sounds from the driver side vents and under the steering wheel, followed by the radio shutting off — this has happened multiple times. Most recently, the clicking was accompanied by the radio, phone chargers, air conditioning, and dashboard lights all going off for several minutes before everything came back on. The dealer has been unable to identify the cause despite multiple visits and video evidence. This intermittent electrical failure may require diagnosis of the vehicle's electrical system, potentially involving the battery, alternator, or wiring connections.
