    Keep your Sequoia forever

    Our 2007 2WD thunders along. It's my wife's beloved chariot, and based on the cost of newer models, I would not hesitate to drop a new transmission in it. I don't see the engine dying anytime soon (162k). We've had the truck since 2012 - best 21k I ever spent. You'd have to be out of your...

    My current MPG compared to stock

    Wife averages about 14, but it's all city driving. If we had all the children in it, it would be less.

    Unanswered Lower control arms / bushings - I think the dealer is insane, what say you?

    That's what I figured. This dealership is pretty good in not pushing too hard, but some of the magic numbers they come up with can be disturbing at times. They quoted me $1100 to replace my valve cover gaskets. Did you notice any change in the driving characteristics of the vehicle? This is...

    Extended Warranty

    Please email me at [email protected]. I can hook you up with a dealer that might save you big $$. I bought an extended warranty for my 2018 RAV4 through them. My local dealer was stupid silly on their price. Due to "politics", the person that can help you prefers to keep their name off the...

    Control Panel Assembly

    Yeah, well the dealer is basically saying you need a new car. But I just did a quick search on ebay and came across several. I'm assuming you mean this and not the dash instrument cluster. I'd also google around for used Toyota parts. They are out there...

    Unanswered Lower control arms / bushings - I think the dealer is insane, what say you?

    yeah, I think I'm going to shop around. With the age of the car, aftermarket is probably more affordable.

    Unanswered Lower control arms / bushings - I think the dealer is insane, what say you?

    So, a couple of years ago, I had my 2007 in for an air bag recall. The dealer "volunteered' to look things over, since they had never seen it before. They came up with leaking valve cover gaskets and a "leaking" steering rack. $1200 for the rack, 1100 for the valve cover gaskets. The...

    Valve cover leaking

    No. Valve cover gaskets are trivial.

    Steering Wobble at Speed

    Did you ever resolve this? My 2007 has the same issue.

    2007 Sequoia Makes Noise at Start up

    Well, I'm predicting a funny conversation shortly with the local dealership (they happen to be good guys so far, bought 3 vehicles and encouraged another sale). So, a couple of weeks ago Toyota notified me that they are replacing the air bags on the vehicle. Of course, if I don't wait until...

    2007 Sequoia Makes Noise at Start up

    And you would be correct. This is really a blot on Toyota though not as bad as all the tranny issues from Honda/Acura. My wife has a 2007, but her birthday is in June (when we need emissions). By late March or April, things warm up and I can clear the codes. Someday I'll install the bypass...

    Transmission fluid change?

    6-12 months? I don't want to start an argument, but that seems excessive. Are you towing?

    Head light replacement questions

    I'm an engineer, I overthink stupid stuff. Laugh at me. So the other day I notice my wife's Sequoia has lost a low beam bulb. Now the Sequoia is a 2007. I go out looking for bulbs. Holy mother of god, 4000K, 10000K, LED, not so led, Philips, Sylvania, this sucks, that sucks, go OEM.... Of...

    Transmission fluid change?

    Karl - thanks for the feedback. Flushing auto transmissions on mature vehicles can cause issues. even so, my 2007 runs like a champ.

    Transmission fluid change?

    Today is Sunday "do car maintenance stuff" day. I'm working on my daughter's CRV and while looking for some paperwork came across the last major work on my wife's 2007 2WD Sequoia. The car runs flawlessly with the exception of the secondary pump issue when starting. But in going over the...

    2007 Sequoia Makes Noise at Start up

    Late to the party but I agree with Jav. These pumps only run for a minute or so. When they finally fail, you'll get a check engine light followed by a "check heart light" when you find out how much it costs to fix it. Search for bypass kits. Toyota should be ashamed for not including the...
