Went to the dealer ship and was told it was the skid control ecu and it would cost $1804.00 the truck has 54,275 miles on it. This should be covered by Toyota because with out the safety features not working accidents can happen.”

Was notified that a recall regarding frame rust was also available and the frame needed to be inspected. Never received a letter in the mail and they informed me in person while at service that they will coat the frame in crc compound. Never even said if it was bad enough (which the photos show) that they will replace the frame. They did replace the spare tire carrier due to rust. …”
NHTSA complaint #10849742, filed 2016-03, 65,000 miles“Rear door handle and cable brakes with little pressure. Many owners have same issue on same make model. Continued expensive repair results in owners jerry rigging their vehicles to open rear door. If this is happening to numerous owners than we feel strongly that it is a company default and should be fixed! My latest repair on it was $600 and its disgusting to have to fix it all the time. It doesn't take much to have the cable brake. It's plastic, cheap plastic doesn't help matters much either.”
NHTSA complaint #11002354, filed 2017-06, 214,000 miles“I have a 2004 Toyota Sequoia that had the right rear wheel bearings replaced last week at my Toyota dealership.
