2004 Toyota Sequoia complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALLS 05V225000, AND 07V013000) REGARDING SUSPENSION: LOWER BALL JOINTS. HE HAS ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED FOR TWO YEARS. WHEN CONTACTED THE DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT FOR SEVERAL HOURS , AND WAS THEN TOLD TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS IN MARCH 2007. PRESENTLY, NO FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 52,000.*AK

THE SEQUIOA HAS BEEN PULLING AND MAKING EXCESSIVE NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. DRIFITING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND HARD TO STEER.*AK

ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN WALKING TOWARDS MY 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA I NOTICED BOTH FRONT WINDOWS AND THE MOON ROOF IN THE OPEN POSITION EVEN THOUGH I WAS 100% SURE THAT I HAD CLOSED THEM. AT THE SAME TIME I NOTICED A SMALL DENT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE COVER. I TOOK MY TRUCK FOR INSPECTION AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A "NEW MODALITY" FOR STEALING SEQUIOAS AND TUNDRAS BY USING A SCREWDRIVER AND CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE SYSTEM THAT WILL CAUSE THE WINDOWS TO OPEN. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY TRUCK AND IF THERE IS ANY WAY THIS COULD BE PREVENTED. *NM

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2006, WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED A SWIFT PULL TO THE DRIVER'S LEFT, CORRECTED IT THEN SECONDS, LATER THE VEHICLE GAVE A VIOLENT JERK, ACCOMPANIED BY A HORRIFIC SOUND OF STEEL SCRAPING WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING METAL. THE VEHICLE VEERED TOWARD TRAFFIC IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SO I FOUGHT TO HOLD THE STIRRING FROM TURNING IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ROLLING OFF THE ROAD DOWN THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. MY CHILDREN SCREAM AND CRIED HYSTERICALLY AS THEY WATCHED AND EXPERIENCE OUR VEHICLE VIOLENTLY THRASHED ABOUT. SMOKED AND SPARKS BELLOWED UP ALONG THE PASSENGER AND FRONT SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD, OUT OF TRAFFIC INCHES FROM A 20' (TWENTY-FOOT) DROP OFF. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST ON THE WHEEL WHICH HAD SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE DRIVER (ME) TO LOOSE STEERING CONTROL THEREFORE ENDING IN THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF AS WELL AS A NEAR TRAFFIC COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF EL CAJON. THEY CALLED AND SAID THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX $3900 IN DAMAGES. HE SAID THE ARM BROKE AND THE WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. HE ASSURED ME HE HAD EVEN LOOK FOR RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NONE. HE EXPLAINED THE VEHICLE HAD 109,000 (ONE-HUNDRED-THOUSAND) MILES AND THIS WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. I TOLD HIM I NOT AGREE BECAUSE I ONCE OWNED A RAV 4 WITH 364,000 (THREE-HUNDRED-SIXTY-FOUR-THOUSAND) MILES AND NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH. THE SEQUOIA WAS PURCHASED NEW MAY OF 2004, IRREGARDLESS OF

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE LOST PRESSURE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL CAUSING THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER EIGHT TIMES AND THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE BUCKLING THE CHILD IN THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT, THE HARNESS BUCKLE LOCATED BETWEEN THE CHILD'S LEGS DETACHED FROM THE SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED AND THE WRONG REPLACEMENT PART WAS SENT TO THE CONTACT. THE SEAT WAS A COSCO SUMMIT MANUFACTURED DECEMBER 31, 2005.

CAR HAD HAD ALL APPLICABLE SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE. OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE. NO PROBLEMS PRIOR. NOTICED NOISE IN FRONT SUSPENSION OF CAR. WHILE DRIVING IN CENTER LANE OF FREEWAY ON THE WAY TO THE MECHANIC, BALL JOINTS FAILED AND DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL BUCKLED UNDER THE CAR. MIRACULOUSLY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET CAR OFF OF FREEWAY WITH NO INJURY OR DAMAGE. UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL OF 775,000 VEHICLES INCLUDING SEQUOIA'S OF OUR YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE CALLED TOYOTA WHO REFUSED TO PAY FOR OUR REPAIRS TWICE BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER OF OUR VEHICLE. WE APPEALED THROUGH OUR DEALER AND WERE REFUSED AGAIN BY TOYOTA. TODAY, OUR MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT HE HAD TWO MORE SEQUOIAS WITH FRONT NOISE THAT HE REFERRED TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS. BOTH CARS HAD THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIPS FREE. MEANWHILE, WE HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $2,000 FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM TOYOTA. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED FOR 775,000 OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING OUR MAKE AND MODEL, SURELY OUR PROBLEM SHOULD BE INCLUDED. *JB

WE WERE TRAVELING 70 MPH NORTH ON I35 HEADING HOME FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS IN OUR 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. A MAN IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE FELL ASLEEP AND HIT A CEMENT BARRIER AND OVER CORRECT STEERING TO THE LEFT. HE IN TURN SHOT INTO THE ROAD INTO OUR VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK OR VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT MID PASSENGER DOOR. OUR VEHICLE TO ROLLOVER TO THE RIGHT 2.5 TIMES AND SKID 200 FEET. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL! THEIR WERE 6 PASSENGERS IN OUR SEQUOIA THAT DAY AND EVERYONE WAS WEARING THEIR SEAT BELT. MY HUSBAND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED THE FOLLOWING INJURIES: HEAD, AND LEFT ARM CONTUSIONS AND ABRASIONS AND COMPLAINED OF HEADACHE. HE ALSO SUFFERED NECK AND BACK PAIN. MYSELF: I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION FROM HITTING THE RIGHT FRONTAL AND TOP PORTION OF MY HEAD, SEVERE NECK AND BACK PAIN & HEADACHE, LEFT WRIST & HAND CONTUSION WITH TENDON & LIGAMENT DAMAGE. BILATERAL KNEE PAIN WITH LIGAMENT DAMAGE. MULTIPLE ABRASIONS AND UNSTABLE VITAL SIGNS. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW WHO WAS SITTING BEHIND MY HUSBAND IN THE 2ND ROW SEATING.

ONE ALREADY ON FILE FOR ANOTHER SEQUOIA 2004. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, OUR VEHICLE HAS ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS LOST POWER. THERE IS A SECOND OR TWO WHERE THE ACCELERATOR FAILS TO PROVIDE ANY RESPONSE AND THEN IT RECOVERS. ONCE WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC I THOUGHT I THOUGHT I WOULD BE HIT BEFORE THE VEHICLE RECOVERED. I HAVE ASKED THE SERVICE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. HOWEVER, ONE SERVICE MAN SAID HE HAD HEARD OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS RESULTS IN AN ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA 4WD SR5 EDITION, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE COLLAPSED ONTO THE PAVEMENT. STEERING AND BRAKING POWER WAS LOST AS THE CAR SKID APPROXIMATELY 75 YARDS TO A STOP. ON EXITING THE CAR AND OBSERVATION, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, SUSPENSION, AND AXEL ASSEMBLY HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CAR. MY WIFE CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND BROUGHT OUR CAMERA. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ARRANGED A TOW, AND I SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR 02,03, AND SOME 04 SEQOUIAS. DETAILS HERE: HTTP://LEMON.ONECLE.COM/CONTENT/05V225000-TOYOTA-SEQUOIA-2004.HTML ESSENTIALLY, A DEFECT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE LOWER BALL JOINT WHICH COULD LEAD TO SEPARATION. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS SEVERAL THOUSAND UNITS IN PRODUCTION PAST WHEN THE RECALL AND DEFECT WAS DISCOVERED, AND THAT THEY BELIEVED MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS A DEFECT AND SEPARATION OF THE LOWER BALL JOINT, THE DEALERSHIP LEFT ME A MESSAGE TO THIS EFFECT. THEY SUBSEQUENTLY NOTIFIED TOYOTA WHO INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE ASSEMBLY, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED A SATISFYING STATEMENT ON WHY THE CAR WAS NOT RECALLED, AND WHY THE WEAR WAS NOT IDENTIFIED IN THE LAST SEVERAL SERVICES I HAVE HAD PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE COST ME, MY WIFE AND CHILDREN, AND

MY COMPLAINT IS BASICALLY IDENTICAL TO ONE ALREADY ON FILE FOR ANOTHER SEQUOIA 2004. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, OUR VEHICLE HAS ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS LOST POWER. THERE IS A SECOND OR TWO WHERE THE ACCELERATOR FAILS TO PROVIDE ANY RESPONSE AND THEN IT RECOVERS. ONCE WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC I THOUGHT I THOUGHT I WOULD BE HIT BEFORE THE VEHICLE RECOVERED. I HAVE ASKED THE SERVICE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS TWICE BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. HOWEVER, ONE SERVICE MAN SAID HE HAD HEARD OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS. THEY MENTION SOMETHING ABOUT A "FIREWIRE" THAT AFFECTS THE THROTTLE BUT WITH NO REMEDY IN SIGHT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS RESULTS IN AN ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT MAKES NOISES WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING HOME THE CONTACT STILL HEARD NOISES WHILE BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONTACT. THEY HEARD THE NOISES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TIRE SIXE 265/65R17 BLOWOUT AND COULD NOT LOCATE A REPLACEMENT. RIGHT REAR TIRE. TOYOTA SUV HAD ONLY 6.045 MILES. DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLACE WITH SAME TYPE OF TIRE. HAD TO PAY $274.35 FOR A DIFFERENT TIRE.

TODAY TOYOYA IS REFUSING TO FIX MY 2004 SEQUOIA THAT WAS RECENTLY RECALLED FOR FRONT SUSPENSIION-CONTROL ARM: LOWER BALL JOINT.THE CONSEQUENCES IS THAT THE LOWER JOINT MAY SEPAPARTE FROM THE KNUCKLE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A CRASH COULD OCCURR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.TOYOTA REFERENCE #200507150957

CAR FREQUENTLY REFUSES TO START. HAD TO HAVE AAA COME OUT AND JUMP START IT. ROSEVILLE TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE TROUBLE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THE VERY NEXT DAY, TOOK IT TO MAITA TOYOTA. MAITA SAID THE MANUFACTURER'S BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE (HAD A HOLE IN IT) AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. WORKED FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS, NOW HAVING MORE INCIDENTS OF THE SAME "REFUSING TO START" PROBLEM. CAR IS STILL REFUSING TO START ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE NOW IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I TRY TO START IT, THE DOOR MAKES THE CHIMING SOUND WHEN OPENED WHEN THE KEY IS IN. (BEFORE THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD -- NO LIGHTS, NO DOOR CHIME, NOTHING). MAITA HAS DILIGENTLY BEEN TRYING TO LOCATE THE TROUBLE, THEY CANNOT THUS FAR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME NEXT TIME I NEED TO NOT HAVE IT CHARGED, BUT TO TOW IT IN DIRECTLY IN ITS STATE OF "REFUSAL TO START".

WE HAVE HAD 2 REAR END COLLISIONS IN OUR 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA IN LESS THAN 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A REAR END COLLISION IN 12 YEARS OF DRIVING OTHER MODEL SUVS, AND 20+ YEARS OF DRIVING ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY DESIGN FLAW IN THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE SEQUOIA. THE LARGE RED LIGHTS ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE TAILGATE DO NOT FUNCTION AS BRAKE LIGHTS. THEY ONLY LIGHT UP WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE ILLUMINATED. THEREFORE, THE LARGEST RED LIGHT SURFACE AREA ON THE BACK OF THE CAR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I BELIEVE THIS LEADS DRIVERS TO MISS THE FACT THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN APPLIED. THE ONLY DRIVER EYE-LEVEL BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON THE SIDE PANELS AND THE HIGH-MOUNT LIGHT OVER THE TAILGATE, WHICH IS FAIRLY SMALL. THE PROPORTIONAL SIZE OF THE SIDE EYE-LEVEL BRAKE LIGHTS IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE RED LENSES ON THE TAILGATE. WE REQUEST THAT NHTSA LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, BECAUSE THE DESIGN DEFIES COMMON SENSE AND WE BELIEVE HAS LED TO TWO REAR-END COLLISIONS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE THAT IT IS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY.

WHEN I COME TO A ROLLING STOP, TURN, AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS NOTHING. IT DOESNT STALL AND ITS STILL RUNNING BUT THERE IS NO POWER. IT HAS TAKEN THEM A WHILE TO EVEN TRY TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. TWO WEEKS IN THE SHOP AND IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM.

NEW 2004 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LEASED ON 8/8/04 WITH 78 ODOMETER MILES, SUSTAINED DAMAGES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE STEERING ARM AT ABOUT 2,379 MILES AT 7:30 A.M. ON 11/5/04 IN PLANTATION, FLORIDA, AND IMMEDIATE/COMPLETE SEPARATION OF PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT WHEEL. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE ASPHALT-PAVED ROADWAY WAS FREE OF ANY ABNORMAL CONDITIONS, AND THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MOTION FOR ONLY A FEW FEET AFTER A FULL STOP, SECONDS BEFORE THE BREAKDOWN. EXCEPT FOR BODY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE 5,000-LB VEHICLE FALLING ON THE ROAD AFTER THE WHEEL SEPARATION, THERE IS NO DAMAGE THAT WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE BREAKDOWN WAS THE RESULT OF A COLLISION. POLICE ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, AND DID NOT WRITE A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MAROONE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 10:30 A.M. ON 11/5/04, WHERE IT REMAINS IN DISREPAIR. *JB

PURCHASED NEW AND VEHICLE SHOOK AT HIGH SPEED. FOUR TRIPS TO DEALER, NEW TIRES AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. WILL INITIATE LEMON LAW. ALSO VEHICLE DOESN'T TRACK WELL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT TENDS TO DRIFT AND GET BLOWN AROUND TREMENDOUSLY.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT TIRES MADE THE FRONT END VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. DEALER ROTATED AND BALANCED THE TIRES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE TIME, WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE GAS 'EMPTY' LIGHT IS ON AND THE NEEDLE READS 'EMPTY'; ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE 1/2-3/4 TANK OF GAS. THE NEEDLES VARIES FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES UNTIL IT 'SETTLES'. THIS ELECTRICAL ERROR HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY THE TOYOTA DEALER AS THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT VIEW AN ERROR; ALTHOUGH THE TECHNICAL PERSON WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THE NEEDLE ROSE FROM 1/4 TANK TO 1/2 TANK, THEN DROPPED BACK TO 1/4 TANK - ALL WITHIN A 10 MINUTE TEST RIDE. WITH THIS SITUATION IT IS VERY HARD TO DETERMINE THE TRUE LEVEL OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY BE THE START OF A TRUE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, WHICH MAY BECOME UNSAFE IN THE FUTURE.*AK

BRAKES .... DEALER REPLACED ONCE AND REQUIRING ME TO PAY FOR THE OTHER, BOTH BRAKE JOBS HAVE BEEN DONE WITHIN A YEAR. BOTH WERE SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY WAS TOLD BASICALLY I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A SUV.(EX BUS DRIVER& 18 WHEELER) *JB

WHILE DRIVING FRONT DRIVER/PASSENGER DOORS VIBRATED HEAVILY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN I WAS GOING UP A HILL / DIRT ROAD IN 4WHEEL HIGH, AT THE MIDWAY POINT UP, THE ENGINE LOST POWER, I HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. IT FELT LIKE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY. I PUT THE GEARSHIFT IN PARK AND NEUTRAL PUT GEAR IN 4 LOW AND 4 HIGH WITH AND WITHOUT CENTER DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED AND UNLOCKED WITH NO RESULTS, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UPHILL.*AK I THEN HAD TO REVERSE DOWN TO A LEVEL AREA, WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE WAS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND, AFTER REACHING A MORE LEVEL AREA, I TURN OFF ENGINE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND WHEN I RESTARTED I WAS ABLE TO GO DOWNHILL AND LEFT EARLY FROM MY TRIP AS I DONT WANT TO BE IN THIS KIND OF DANGEROUS SITUATION AGAIN. ALSO MY AIR CONDITIONER IS PUTTING OUT STRONG PUNGENT SMELLS. I TRIED TO CLEAR THE AIR BY PUTTING LEVER IN FRESH AIR MODE AS SUGGESTED BY YOUR TECH, BUT INTERMITTENTLY THE SMELL

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC TRAC AND TRAC OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION. (NAR) *LA THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ECU NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK.
