2006 Toyota Sequoia complaints

DOOR PASSANGER LIGHT AND GLOVE BOX AND ASH TRAY LIGHTS DOES NOT WORK.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL.

THE FRAME, REAR AXLE, SUSPENSION, BRAKE LINES COMPONENTS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED IN PARTICULAR THE FRAME WHERE IT IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THESE FRAMES SUFFER FROM THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER TOYOTA TRUCKS WHERE TOYOTA REPLACED THE FRAMES. THIS RUST CONDITION MAKES THESE VEHICLES UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLES NEW IN 2006 AND MAINTAINED IT WELL. I ADDRESSED THE EXTERNAL RUST BUT CAN NOT PREVENT THE INTERNAL RUST. THE FRAMES NEED TO BE REPLACED OR THE VEHICLE BROUGHT BACK AND DISPOSED OF.

THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK HAS BECOME RUSTY VERY QUICKLY WITH NORMAL CITY ROAD USE

SPENT OVER 2K AT TOYOTA CARLSBAD FOR REPAIRS 1-2 YEARS AGO..PROBLEM ACCELERATING AND LIGHTS COMING UP FOR CHECK ENGINE, TRACK OFF AND VSC..TOOK AGAIN AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR NEARLY 5K FOR REPAIRS..PROBLEM ACCELERATING IN FREEWAY AND TPMS LIGHS ON..

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO HAVE VSC LIGHT SERVICE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FRAME WHERE THE VEHICLE REAR STABILITY BAR CONNECTS TO IS ALL RUSTED OUT. AND THE OTHER SIDE WILL SOON FOLLOW. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, SEE PHOTOS.

FRAME IS RUSTING BAD. LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NOTICED RECALL WAS DONE ON THE TACOMA.

SRS AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 8YEARS DURING DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO GET CHECK AT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS & THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. FINALLY TOOK IT TO GET CHECK & ITS DISCOVER IT'S THE CONTROL MODULE, THE PROGRAMMING WAS DEAD. CHECKED VIN & THERE'S A RECALL STATUS WAITING TO GET APPROVED FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AS OF FEBRUARY 2016. IT STATES IT WAS TO BE DETERMINE BY SEPTEMBER 2016. I'M NOW IN A WAITING TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO I NEED A VEHICLE & HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING. THE DISTURBING ISSUE IS THAT I WAS DRIVING WITH A DEFECTED CONTROL MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. NEED THIS RECALL TO HAPPEN QUICK FOR OTHERS VEHICLE OWNERS.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FRAME HAS RUST CORROSION CAUSING 18 INCH PERFORATED HOLE IN FRONT FRAME OF CAR. THIS IS SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS WARRANTED A RECALL OF THE TOYOTA TUNDRA WHICH USES THE SAME FRAME. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE RUST CORROSION ON THE FRAME. THIS MUST BE DUE TO POOR QUALITY MATERIAL AND COATING OF THE ORIGINAL FRAME. THROUGH RESEARCH APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN SEQUOIA THAT ARE IN AREAS DEALING WITH ROAD SALT. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THIS MODEL ALONG WITH THE TUNDRA. THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE DRIVEWAY AND MOSTLY LOCAL DRIVING.

THERE'S AN 18 TO 24 INCH HOLE IN THE FRAME ON THE LEFT FRONT, WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE DETERIORATED SO QUICKLY OR TO THAT EXTREME. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FRAME COULD BRAKE WITH ANY SIGNIFICANT STRESS, SUCH AS POTHOLES.

SEVERE FRAME CORROSION, 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA: I WAS UNAWARE OF THE "COLD WEATHER STATES" FRAME CORROSION PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS (AND RECALLS OF OLDER SEQUOIAS AND OTHER TOYOTA TRUCKS) UNTIL I TOOK MY '06 SEQUOIA TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSIS OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A MINOR FRONT END RATTLE. WHEN THEY RAISED IT ON THE LIFT, THEY SAID THE VEHICLE BEHAVED IMPROPERLY AND THEY WERE ALARMED. THAT IS WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE LARGE, RUSTED HOLE IN THE FRAME! WHAT A SHOCK IT WAS WHEN THEY TOLD ME, AND THEN, TO BE ADVISED THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! IF I HAD NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL, MY FAMILY AND I COULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW, IF CONDITIONS HAD BEEN JUST SO. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE THAT TOYOTA IS PUTTING PEOPLES' LIVES IN DANGER BY NOT RECALLING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FRAME AND STANDING BY THEIR PRODUCT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A DEATH(S) TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY ARE FORCED TO RECALL? THEY CERTAINLY KNOW THAT OTHER NON-RECALLED MODELS OF SEQUOIA HAVE FRAME ROT. PRESENTLY, MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IS WAITING FOR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. I AM WARY AND LEFT IN CONSTANT WORRY IF TOYOTA WILL HELP, BASED ON THE REPORTS OF OTHER PEOPLES' EXPERIENCES WHOSE VEHICLES WERE NOT RECALLED YET. I AM FACED WITH IT BEING A TOTAL LOSS IF TOYOTA DOES NOT CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. (THIS IS THEIR FAULT. THEY SHOULD FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. PERIOD.) I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS REPORTED RELIABILITY. I HAVE BEEN A 3 T

STILL AWAITING FIX FOR AIRBAG RECALL... I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ITEMS DUE TO RUST, AND THE FRAME IS EXTREMELY RUSTY AS WELL. LOVE THE VEHICLE.... HATE THE RUST... PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO RUST, NOT THE 2006 MODEL. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WITH 83,900 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE VSC TRAC SYSTEM GOES ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES GO INTO GRIND MODE AND DO NOT ENGAGE. I HAVE NARROWLY MISSED HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS AS A RESULT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BRAKE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN, BUT NOT UNDER RECALL OR COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER AS THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY AND LIABILITY ISSUE. I NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS WITH TOYOTA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH (TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE) DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HATCH WINDOW DID NOT OPEN AND THE REAR WIPER DID NOT WORK DUE TO RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT THE HATCH MECHANISM WAS UPGRADED WITH A METAL PIECE TO PREVENT IT FROM RUSTING AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. UPDATED 11/01/16*LJ UPDATED 12/13/16.*JB

2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRAME CORROSION / RUST ISSUES. *SMD

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS RUSTING BADLY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE FOUND ITEMS THAT HAVE RUSTED OFF THE FRAME LYING IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED. THE INSIDE OF THE REAR HATCH IS RUSTED OUT BEYOND USE. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ALWAYS IN COVERED PARKING. PARTS OF THE FRAME CAN BE PULLED OFF DUE OT THE RUST FLAKING AND PARTS CAN BE PULLED OFF THAT SHOULD BE BOLTED THE CAR.

THE VSC TRAC LIGHT, THE VSC OFF LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON....IT CAUSED MY BRAKES TO ACTUALLY FAIL. I CAN TURN THE THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND THIS SEEMS TO RESET IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED A $200 PART AND IT DID NOT HELP. IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN. I'VE READ MANY MANY REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE. WHY NO RECALL. IT'S A MIRACLE NOBODY HAS DIED. BRAKE FAILURE???? SERIOUSLY.

AFTER YEARS OF TAKING MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD FRAME ROT WAS SO BAD THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE VETERANS HIGHWAY IN TAMPA, IT BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE VEHICLES TRAC OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS BRAKING BY ITSELF. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE SEQUOIA BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY.

SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. DEALERSHIP SAYS VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND COST WOULD BE ROUGHLY $3000.00. NO OFFER TO HELP, BUT SAME PROBLEM AS 07-10 TUNDRAS AND SEQUOIAS. TRK OFF, CHECK ENGINE, ETC. BRAKES NOT OPTIMAL. LONG RUNNING PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA TRUCKS. 96 K MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED. WOULDN'T BE UPSET IF IT WASN'T SUCH A HIGHLY REPORTED FAILURE. HAPPENED UPON STARTUP WITH LOUD SUCKING NOISE FOR ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS AND ALL LIGHTS CONCERNING ENGINE CAME ON.

TAKATA RECALL. PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, DEALERSHIP INDICATING THREE MORE MONTHS. UNABLE TO USE FRONT SEAT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.

THE FRAME ON THE VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE RUST AND THERE ARE SOME RUST PERFORATIONS AND HOLES IN THE STRUCTURAL PARTS OF THE FRAME. IN ADDITION, SOME STABILITY COMPONENTS NEED TO BE WELDED BACK ONTO THE FRAME BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROKEN OFF.

LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURE, CAUSING THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE TO BREAK OFF AT LOW SPEED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.

THE SEQUOIA'S FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION.

TAKATA RECALL, THE TIME THAT IT IS TAKING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION TOYOTA HAS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. 1 PAY FOR THE AIRBAGS AND SUBMIT A REIMBURSEMENTS CLAIM, 2 DON'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. STATING THAT THEY ARE UP TO 2002 FOR THIS MODEL IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE FOR ITS SUPPOSED SAFETY FEATURES.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MAY 2015; TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED NO USE OF FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF SAFETY. IT IS NOW ~8 MONTHS LATER AND NO RESOLVE. ALSO, TAILGATE WIPERS, WINDOW AND WIPER FLUID SYSTEM NOT OPERATIONAL (SINCE 2008) DESPITE ALL GOOD FUSES IN 4 COMPARTMENTS.

2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW.IN 2015 FRAME HAS LOTS OF RUST. WHEN WE WENT FOR SERVICING, TOYOTA DEALER SAID, NOT TO WASTE ANY MONEY FOR FLUID EXCHANGES, LIKE POWER STEERING FLUID, TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE, BECAUSE CAR MAY NOT PASS INSPECTION, BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE, WHETHER SPARE TIRE, REAR BRAKES FAILING, OTHER COMPONENTS FALLING OFF CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAR AND PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND . WE SEE SEQUOIAS FROM 2000 TO 2004 ARE RECALLED FOR NEW FRAME INSTALLATION BECAUSE OF RUST PROBLEMS. WE SINCERELY HOPE, TOYOTA WILL RECALL 2006 SEQUOIAS ALSO. WE BELIEVED IN TOYOTA REPUTATION, FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. WE ARE REALLY VERY DISAPPOINTED. MY FAMILY HAS 3 TOYOTAS AND EXPECTING TO BUY 2 MORE SOON. WE NEVER EXPECTED, SEQUOIAS ARE SO BAD , WHERE LIFE ITSELF IS IN DANGER DRIVING THEM. WE WISH TOYOTA WILL RECALL SEQUOIAS FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT. *TR

JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER 2006 SEQUOIA AT 80K MILES THE YELLOW ABS, YELLOW VSC OFF, YELLOW VSC TRAC , AND RED BRAKE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON CAUSING IT TO FAIL THE MA STATE INSPECTION. DISASSEMBLED P/N 44050-0C100 AND THE BRUSHES IN THE ABS PUMP MOTOR (ATE 25.0206-0206.3) ARE COMPLETELY GONE.

AFTER A STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD CATCHING UP TO THE THROTTLE POSITION ONCE THE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CLEARS (AFTER A FEW SECONDS). THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN 4HI. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AS VEHICLE STUTTERS OR DELAYS THE TURN.

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC OFF LIGHT, AND VSC TRAC LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT ONCE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND I EXPERIENCED A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN VEHICLE POWER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME NOTICING A DRASTIC CHANGE IN ACCELERATION AS THE SEQUOIA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY; IT WOULD ACCELERATE AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED RATE, TOPPING OUT AT 35MPH ON THE FLATS AND 16 MPH ON AN INCLINE, IN ADDITION, DURING START UP, THE ENGINE MAKES A HIGH-PITCH VACUUM NOISE, WHICH DROPS OFF AND NORMAL ENGINE SOUND RETURNS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED; ERROR CODES P2440, P441 AND P444 ARE ALL PRESENT INDICATING A FAILURE OF THE AIR INJECTION PUMP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TOYOTA SEQUOIAS AND TUNDRAS; HOWEVER, TOYOTA HAS ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT ON THE 07-10 SEQUOIA BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND 150,000K MILES FOR THIS PART. IT IS CLEAR FROM OTHER POSTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHERS THAT THIS PROBLEM ALSO EXISTS WITH THE 2004-07 SEQUOIAS AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED, OR WORSE YET KILLED.

MY VEHICLE IS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN ARIZONA A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO, CA. I HAVE A VACATION HOME IN BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO. I KEEP THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA AT THAT HOME IN MEXICO, ABOUT 900 MILES FROM CALIFORNIA. THERE IS A TOYOTA DEALER IN SAN JOSE DEL CABO WHO COULD MAKE THE REPAIR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE 1800 MILES ROUND TRIP TO THE USA IN ORDER TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE IN THE USA. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO ALLOW ITS DEALER IN SAN JOSE DEL CABO TO MAKE THE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU TO REQUIRE TOYOTA TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE PURCHASED IN THE UNITED STATES BY A U.S. CITIZEN IN MEXICO.
