Used 2005 Toyota Sequoia Limited Rwd 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Nothing but problems!
Loved the truck until 5000 miles. Started sputtering and jerking under light acceleration while goig up hills. Dealer first said it was a computer problem. After three visits to the shop it became a transmission problem. The dealer replaced the transmission but the problem is no better. After two more days in the shop the dealer now says it is a "trait of the vehicle." Seems odd to me that two test drivers thought the problem was severe enought to warrant spending $3700 for a new transmission but now it is a vehicle trait! Truck is very uncomfortable on the interstate because every time you go up a slight incline or an uphill on ramp the car jerks and sputters. Nice trait Toyota!
Am I the Only One?
The Sequoia is a beautiful SUV. We replaced a Suburban with it but unfortunately have been disappointed. The ride is not only rougher but the road noise is much louder. We replaced the factory tires hoping to reduce the road noise but that didn't help. The gas mileage is lower than advertised being consistently 13.6 MPG combined city/highway (about 17 - 18 MPG highway). Also, its braking distance seems longer. There were several little problems for the first six months. This is our first Toyota and I have not seen a big difference in quality or performance.

I love this car
I am a mother of 3 very active boys, I love this car. I had a Yukon XL prior to this and there is no comparision. The Toyota is just a far superior product and Cherokee Toyota was very pleasent to deal with. There service shop is one of the best I have ever seen. We take our other cars there too.
