2002 Toyota Sequoia Equipment Problems

“I purchased a 2002 Sequoia which I have taken to the champion Toyota service center twice for them to look at the air conditioning system. There was a moldy, musty smell to the air blowing through the vents on both the recycle and fresh air.

“In july of last year, my 2002 Toyota Sequoia experienced car trouble. The vehicle experienced 3 major problems. First, the rear window on the back of the vehicle would suddenly open all by itself.

“My 2002 Toyota Sequoia is emitting a foul, rotten egg, sulfurous smell from the exhaust. My vehice only has 2000 miles on it and the catalytic converter has been replaced once.

I was asked to use higher octane fuel and that did not solve the problem. The manufacturer is telling the dealer that they are aware of the situation and they are investigating it. I did notice the smell on other sequoias.”
