Over 250,000 miles and still great

This vehicle was manufactured with no transmission dipstick and "lifetime" fluid. The previous owner was told that she needed a new transmission because it would not go in reverse and a scan showed she had faulty solenoids. She took the $8000 quote and subtracted it from the $11,000 value and advertised it on Marketplace. I bought it. Dropped the transmission pan, installed a new filter and refilled with synthetic transmission fluid. Cleared the codes and took off for a weekend trip to the mountains. Everything is fine and I am very happy. This is my 4th Sequoia.

We traded in a Lexus Hybrid for this vehicle and have been very pleased. It provides the feeling of driving a living room on wheels. Extremely comfortable on both short and long trips. The third row is truly functional as well as comfortable. I recommend the power option for the third row seats. Would highly recommend this vehicle for a family that needs a "luxury" ride for great reliability. We were between a mini- van and this Sequoia, but in reality there is no comparison after you drive this vehicle.

I traded in an 03 Pilot w 100K on it which was bulletproof. Bought Top of the line Platinum and three weeks later wife backed into a pile of rocks in a parking lot island--turns out the sonar is off until you turn it on. Our fault but major design flaw. Now with 4K miles had major vibration at highway speed found to be failing universal joint and bad drive shaft. All under warranty of course but Toyota reputation is overrated. I consider this unacceptable for a $60K vehicle. Can't get bench 2nd row in Platinum and room behind 3rd row is limited due to wasted space between rows 1&2. Bought for towing capability. If you don't need to tow buy a Pilot. Otherwise nice car.
Nice SUV with some SERIOUS flaws.

We recently purchased a 2011 Toyota Sequoia. It would be a great car but for the fact that many of the most important functions of the navigation system, radio, media system, etc. are *completely inaccessible* while the car is in motion! Clearly this is an issue of liability fears trumping usability or reason. Regardless, we would not have purchased the car had we known how difficult it would be to use. How a car maker thinks it is okay to tell me how to use the functions of an automobile I purchased is beyond me. Letting lawyers run a company is worse than letting inmates run an asylum. It's too bad, because it has all the makings of a great car. Instead it's more like a nagging lawyer.

Taken as a whole, this is a great vehicle, and great looking too. However, missing a few features (see below) and also the dash panels are the cheapest plastic imaginable, looks like a Kia Rio..
