2003 Toyota Sequoia Engine cooling Problems

“I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia that just had a major computer system failure with the skid control systems. There was no warning, the vsc lights came on in the dashboard and a loud sound came from the engine, like bending metal. This vehicle only has 28k in 3 1/2 years, and that means I'm 6 months past bumper to bumper warranty. I had heard about this problem previously because I had a similar problem within months of buying the car, but that was covered under warranty. …”

“9/07 - a load noise sounded and the vehicles brakes and steering locked up on me while I was accelerating and approaching a 4 way stop light. I took the vehicle in to folsom lake Toyota for service that day. They told me they could not find the problem, maybe it was do to a low charge from the battery. So I had them replace the battery. 10/1/07 a few weeks later I was accelerating and going on to the freeway when all of a sudden the brake noise sounded the steering and brakes locked up and all my engine lights came on then I completely lost power. …”

“First oil gauge. When I drive the SUV between 60 to 75 MPH, the oil gauge point to zero. Dealer unable to fix it. Second. There are coolant pipe routed under vehicle without any protection. It is a great change broken by minor road hazard. My 2003 4wd sr5 Sequoia was broken at 12/19/2003. It took dealer 3 days to replace the 1 meter length pipe, because it is impossible for dealer to place the pipe at original position. This is bad design. No protection and not easy replace. I check other big SUV at market. They all use plastic shield to protect similar pipe under their SUV. …”

“My engine light keeps coming on and the dealership that I have been taking it to keeps telling me that they can not fine anything. The warranty run out at 60,000 miles and I'm at 59260. I have taking the vehicle 3 time. I believe they are trying to wait for my warranty to run out.”

“Ammonia and sulfur smell in the cabin. Causing nausea and allergy problems. My problem is so bad that my doctor is thinking about writing a prescription saying I can't drive this vehicle. This is a current problem with other seqouia's. There are numerous complaints through out the USA.”
