I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN DISAPPEARED. TWO DAYS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RIDE ROUGH LIKE IT NEED A TUNE-UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE UNTIL I REACHED HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT, VSC OFF AND VSC TRAC ALL CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS RIDING REALLY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE SO THEY COULD LOOK AT BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA SO THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS CARBON BUILD UP AROUND THE CYLINDERS, SO THEY CLEANED ALL EIGHT CYLINDERS BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR IT. THE FINALE SOLUTION WAS FOR THEM TO TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE. THEY CLAIMED THAT PISTON #3 WASN'T WORKING AT ITS FULL CAPACITY AFTER RUNNING A COMPRESSION TEST BUT THEY'RE NOT 100% SURE. THE COST FOR THEM TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF WOULD BE $862 AND ANOTHER $862 TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER PLUS WHAT EVER REAL PROBLEM IS. THE SERVICE GUY AT TOYOTA SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THREE SIMILAR PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND IT COST THE CUSTOMER AROUND $3000. MY DVD PLAYER WASN'T WORKING SO THE TECH TESTED IT AND STATED THAT POWER WAS GOING TO IT AND THAT IT SHOULD WORK. THREE WEEKS LATER THE DVD PLAYER WORKED BUT NOW MY BACK WINDOW DIDN'T. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON FOR THE BACK WINDOW THE BACK WIPER COMES ON. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BROUGHT MY SEQUOIA IN FOR A 10,000 MILE OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD COMPLETED SSC DOE UPDATE. SINCE THE UPDATE, MY VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN A THUMP SOUND. WAS TOLD THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE AIR INJECTION PUMPS THAT WERE AFFECTED FROM THE DOE UPDATE. TOYOTA WILL NOT GIVE ME ANY DOCUMENTATION ON THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE THAT AFFECTS THE EMISSION CONTROL EJECTOR TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE GOING INTO FAIL SAFE MODE. TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVES ARE TELLING ME THAT THE NOISE IS NORMAL AND IS SUPPOSE TO BE THERE. THIS NOISE WAS NOT PRESENT BEFORE THE UPDATE AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE WHEN IT IS EXTREMELY SECRETIVE ABOUT THE RECALL OR THE UPDATE THAT IS BEING PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE MAKES NOISES THAT DO NOT SOUND RIGHT. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR MAKING ALL OF THIS NOISE AND I WANT THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM AND FUNCTION AS IT DID WHEN I PURCHASED IT. *TR
