2001 Toyota Sequoia Engine cooling Problems

“We have a Toyota Sequoia, the problems are the 4 wheel drive is not operating all the time. It does not engage, when it does sometimes it does not stay in 4 wheel drive. One example is when my wife had six friends in the vehicle the 4 wheel drive did not stay engaged and the vehicle skid control made the engine loose power so she slid backwards down a hill. No one would ride in our 4 wheel drive again. The vehicle skid control activates at radom on dry pavement. The skid control makes the engine loose power while in traffic. …”

“After meeting with district parts and service operations manager steve carlson on 9/23/02.

“My 2001 Toyota Sequoia had an issue with check engine light at approximately 77,000 miles. It pulled the p0155 code that indicated failure of oxygen sensor. Toyota had at least two technical service bulletins on the issue showing this problem as widely known. What is more, on tundra vehicles (that have the same engine)Toyota recognized the issue by extending the warranty on sensors and on that specific code up to 90000 miles.
