Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [heytomsequoia]
I just wanted to thank everyone, especially heytomsequoia for all the information posted. I have a 2001 Seq. and the plastic handle broke after 11 years so I guess I was lucky it lasted that long! A few things: 1) Be patient. I broke 1 of the plastic trim clips on the license plate trim cover that holds the latch handle. The clips cost $2.50 to $7.50 EACH at the dealer ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [peterson70]
There were two nylon plugs below that I didn't see, so I crimped them and pushed the cover out. It came right off. The nylon plugs were actually the 2 lower bottom bolts for the license plate. Mission accomplished! Thanks

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [ryno27]
Have you removed the license plate itself, this must be done as the plate bolts double as ab way of holding the cover to the tail gate.......just a thought. The last time I had to repair my latch I actually had to grind the license plate bolts off as they rusted over time.

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [heytomsequoia]
Hi heytomsequoia, First off, I would like to thank you for your detailed repair information! I just bought a used 2006 Limited for our new family. It has 60k and I am experiencing similari issue with the rear door. I am not very mechanically inclined, but with our newborn twins, I need to save money, so I gave it a shot. I successfully removed the bottom latch, cleaned it up, went ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [peterson70]

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [peterson70]
I think that would be the mother of all PITAs. I feel for you. Here's my suggestion. I have used an aircraft grade penetrating oil made by KANOLABS (kanolabs.com) on really tough jobs such as OXYGEN SENSOR removal. It's called Kroil/AeroKroil. Way better than WD40. PENETRATING-LUBRICATING OILS Kroil/AeroKroil Loosens Frozen Metal Parts! My suggestion is to liberally soak the latch mechanism from inside the door in this KROIL a couple of ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [walesgrom]
If your door is still not opening after pulling the cable the problem may be the actual latch at the bottom of the door. I had this issue once and it was not fun. What I had to do to get the door open was lower the spare tire, which was not easy itself becasue have to reach through the spare tire to turn the mechanism to lower the spare since ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [heytomsequoia]
Kudos, Heytomsequoia, for doing a great job documenting the process of replacing the broken Sequoia rear door latch. Having just done this job myself today, my only comments to add to Tom's are that: First: In the 2nd paragraph of his instructions, Tom states that you need to take ALL of the trim off including the top trim. Though he is correct that you need to pop out the interior rear ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [heytomsequoia]
There is actually an easier way to open the tailgate. Roll the rear window down and use a wedge, you can make one out of wood real easy or buy one made out of hard rubber for a couple of dollars. Carefully put the wedge between the inside weatherstripping and the glass. It doesn't take a lot to to make a small 1/4 inch gap that will allow you to look ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [maspieta]
Well my 2003 Sequoia's rear latch broke and my power rear window works intermittently. I figured I would warn folks that it was not the easiest repair to replace this latch, but I guess since I purchased the latch on Amazon.com for $23 including shipping I did save myself at least $175 to $375 depending on hearing that the dealer wants between $200 and $500 for the repair. Hope you have ... Read More

Update on the Sequoia rear latch. After calling Toyota to see if there was a recall on the latch and receiving a negative response; I bought the part thinking I would fix it on my own upon reading how expensive it was to replace. I was wrong. I was able to have the part replaced by the local dealer for $100 plus the part which was around $100. I checked on ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [balwinderd]
I too have replaced the door handle on 2001. They are approx. $70.00 at dealer. Remove rear inside panel and take cable off of handle. Then you must remove your license plate and remove rear outside panel to get handle off. The little clip breaks. I don't understand why this isn't made off medal instead of plastic.

2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems
When I went to pick up the replacement handle under warranty, my husband ran into the driver from Toyota who was delivering the handle to my mechanic. During a short conversation, the driver told my husband that he "delivered that particular part all the time". And this is not a large metro area. Tell me this isn't a recall issue--but why would they recall when they are making megabucks on the ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [peterson70]
My rear door hatch just broke for the 3rd time (had it replaced in June 2009--lasted for 4 months). Found out by calling Toyota at 800-331-4331 that the cheap piece of inferior plastic (sold for around $70) was warranted for 12 months. At least I'll get the part for free this time. Please everyone call and file your complaints maybe we can get it recalled.

2004 Toyota Back Lift Latch stopped working
I have a 2004 Toyota Sequoia, the rear window stopped working about a year ago, the back latch just stopped working this week and the door will not stay closed.

Extended Warranty - Too Many exclusions, not a good ROI
Just venting here. I purchased my 2004 Toyota Sequoia with an extended 7 year 100k platinum warranty. Never needed until recently when 1) the Drive light on the dash board went out, not a huge deal but when the car is in Drive, the instrument panel is blank. Anyway it was not covered because it was considered a light bulb, even though it is not really accessible for the normal driver, ... Read More

Wheel Bearing problems?
I have an 2004 Sequoia with 44,000 miles on it. I have noticed a lot of "road" noise in the front end and took it to my Firestone Dealer. They said the right front wheel bearing had gone bad. Is this a common occurance with a car with so few miles on it? Also, has anybody tried to replace the wheel bearing on their own? Firestone quoted me 450.00 to do ... Read More

Rear Window resumed working after installing new car battery
I just wanted to weigh in on the issue of "rear window" not working. We have a 2004 Sequoia that we bought new in January of 2004. About 5 months ago, at appromimately 55,000 miles, the rear window stopped working. Sure didn't seem possible to be from over use.

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [lbrenneman]
What you'll need to do is put the rear window all the way down and pry the panel off from the top(bottom of window). Get your fingers underthe trim and pry back gently. If you take care you will only bend metal clips holding the trim in place. After doing this you will be able to remove entire panel, remove inner panel than actuate the latch mechanism by hand.

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [balwinderd]
I have a 2002 Sequoia with 125000 miles and ran into this problem several times while under warranty. It is definitely a defect. However, the last time I took it in to get fixed, the dealer tried to blame the window tracking system. It was all rusted out and corroded. Told me they could fix it for $700! I am now in the process of having the back latch replaced along ... Read More

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [peterson70]
Peterson70, how do you remove the Latching Mechanism when the hatch door is closed and I cannot open it? I think my Lock Actuator is broken so I have to open the hatch door first and then replace the part inside the hatch door. I already took off all the panels inside the hatch door so I can access the cable and everything.

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [ichiro51]
I also have a 2004 limited with the same problems. The rear window stop working all together about a year ago. On 08/12/2008 I shut the rear door and the latch broke. I called the Toyota dealership and of course this part is not under warranty. I will definitely call Toyota's 1-800 # to make a complaint. I believe the latch is a defect, this vehicle is hardly used.

Re: 2004 Toyota Sequoia Rear Hatch Door Problems [03sequoia]
Not an electrical short! There is much trouble shooting that would be needed. You may have no choice but to bring it to a Toyota dealer. Be prepared to pay $$$ for them to look at it. Good luck!

I have a 2004 limited with a similar problem. It started with the back window not working. The power lock failed to open. Toyota found that problem as an electrical short in the rear area. It cost me $250.00 to fix. The short was also the reason for the window not working. Toyota told me I had a bad motor and wanted to charge me $700.00 to replace.

Re: Buy 2004 Sequoia at Lease End? [baseballmom97]
Toyota's usually have a premium resale value, so I wouldn't worry about it even if gas skyrocketed. I'd expect the value 3 years down the road to be more than 50% of what it is today. Since you are getting an Acadia, your husband could borrow that when it snows, and you two could pursue another economical vehicle to replace the Acura if gas prices got you worried.

Re: Buy 2004 Sequoia at Lease End? [baseballmom97]
If your Sequoia has been dependable and you believe the price is fair, then by all means make the purchase. It's probably a safer long term bet dollar for dollar than buying a replacement vehicle.

The negative is if you don't have ... Read More

Re: Sequoia Factory Alarm Problem [workoart]
I had a similar issue. My alarm would go off when unlocking the doors. The problem was intermittent. The dealer could only get it to go off a couple of times but had no answer so they replaced the remotes. This did not help. I did some searching on the web and found a Toyota Service Bulletin sent to the dealers addressing this problem, a bad alarm ECU (computer module). I ... Read More

Re: Acceleration fades on turns [pphillips]
We have a 2004 Sequoia that has been doing the fade on acceleration for at least 18 months. Been to two different dealers four times for solution to problem....nothing.

Re: Excessive Sulfur Dioxide Odor TSB [bama2]
I have recently purchased a 2005 Sequoia. It has 1800 miles on it. To date it has been back to the dealer 3 times in 2 months. Once for the radio static, then the air conditioning not blowing cold and now it is back at the dealership for the rotten egg smell when you accelerate. From what I am reading now and what the service advisor tells me, the problem occurs ... Read More

Toyota Sequoia Head Lamp Question
Several weeks ago the battery on my 2004 Sequoia discharged. It seems since then that I have lost the function that automatically shuts off the headlights when the car is locked or if it is left unattended. Is this sensible and can it be restored without having to make a visit to my distant dealer? Thanks in advance Don

The Big Toyota Recall
Well I guess you have all heard by now that toyota is recalling approximately 750,000 vehicles including the Sequoia for a manufacturing defect. I read online that the recall for the Sequoia includes the 2002 to 2004 model years, but not the 2005. I (of course) just got a 2005 SR5 one week ago today. If the vehicle was built in December of 2004, do you think it will be affected ... Read More

Re: No $750 Marketing Support [ibmindless]
Note about the Dealer incentive. It DOES exist (at least in the central Atlantic region) but you aren't supposed to know about it. I just ordered an 05 Sequoia and I was using that incentive as part of my negotiation. I called 1-800-GO-TOYOTA on 12/17/2004 and they confirmed it existed, along with 750 cash to customer. My dealer called the same number on 12/21 right in front of me and it ... Read More

Suggestions and feedback
We bought our 2004 Toyota Sequoia SR5 in July. We have really enjoyed it. The pick up is great and the ride is comfortable. We did notice, however, a few things that Toyota needs to improve on. 1. vehicle should have memory seats for cloth seats for SR-5 model as well as Limited. 2. Vehicle should have standard automatic light control system for SR-5. After all, this should not be difficult, ... Read More

Happy new owner
Just bought a new Silver 2004 SR5 4x4 w/sunroof and basic extras for $33,999. Good bargin I think. It's interesting how dealerships vary, one had same Sequoia in black with 500 miles and a burned out headlight. They didn't want to haggle in the $33-34k range for their errand runner. Needless to say I'm thrilled with this vehicle/decision. A no brainer! Did anyone pay Toyota to have the DVD System installed? ... Read More

2004 sequoia tire problems
I leased a 2004 sequoia limited a few weeks ago and have been disappointed with the quality of the ride at highway speeds. There's a noticeable vibration in the center console, seats, and door arm rests which drives me nuts. I've taken it into service twice for rebalancing and have gone out on test drives with the service director. They tell me there's nothing wrong with it ("it's a truck") but ... Read More

Re: 2004 Sequoia Sounds Like Diesel [kiddogo]
Sorry to misdiagnose so badly, but bad wheel bearings is quite a different sound than a diesel, I'm glad to see your problem was found and is being fixed though. I'm wondering how both rear wheel bearings could go out at the same time with such low mileage, I've never seen that before, and wouldn't expect to see it in a Toyota. I'm guessing they gave you a camry for the ... Read More

Re: 2004 Sequoia Sounds Like Diesel [bp3959]
Well we took it to the Toyota dealer and they said the engine is fine but they need to replace both sets or rear wheel bearings. Parts are on order and it must have been pretty bad. My wife was not allowed to take the car for the rest of the day to run her errands. They did provide her a free loaner. Stay tuned

Hot Seat Brackets
I bought a new 2004 Sequoia SR5 last night. I drove it home from the dealership and spent half an hour inside reading the owner's manual.

I settled on tumbling the smaller segment of the middle seat forward, so that two kids can easily get to the third seat ... Read More
