Toyota Sequoia Gen2 Problems (2008-2022). What’s wrong with Toyota Sequoia? 

Despite this rather dreary review, I'm here to say the 2nd gen Sequoia's are absolute BEASTS. Dependable, powerful, comfortable vehicles that ask for very little from their owners. 225,xxx+ miles on our '08 Platinum. My biggest complaint about owning this model is, if we were to ever step out of this vehicle to something else, it would simply be substandard to the Sequoia. Toyota nailed it with these. OVER built is an UNDER statement.

My 2010 Sequoia with 260k miles is by far the best truck I've ever owned and has not a single one of the problems in this video.

He almost got me not buying one until l’ve reads some of the comments sections 😊

I guess they had to try to find a handful of Sequoias, out of 14 years worth production, to make this exaggerated video. The main reason I bought a new 2016 Limited Sequoia, that has 75,000 trouble free miles so far, is because the 2003 Highlander V6 4WD I bought new, has 400,000 hard miles, and still runs perfect, and everything still works. I do all the maintenance and whatever minor repairs, it needs. I've had every make of vehicles over the years, and nothing compares to Toyota for reliability and longevity. That's why I always say... "I Wonder How Many Chevy's, Dodges and Fords, It Would Take"... "To Equal One Toyota" ? "The World May Never Know !"

I have an 08 with 240k...none of these problems have occurred. This is the exact same power plant as the Tundra...I think it is fair to say that these are some of the most reliable cars on the road today.

These reports are from owners who don’t keep up with maintenance lol

I feel us Sequoia 2nd Gen owners watched this just to see...we also haven't had these problems and love ours!

I have a feeling this guy gets paid by land rover 😂

great comprehensive information on previous issues with the Sequoia. I have a 2019, and do not have any of the issues shown. good info.

I am driving my second sequoia. The first one went over 250,000 miles, and my mother got into an accident. It didn't look bad at all, but the insurance company just wrote off. It destroyed the other car, but nothing to my mother. So I got a used cheap Sienna. Boy, did it last. I practically drove it off the cliff, and the thing just kept going. I finally said enough and donated it. Then I got myself the second sequoia which I am driving. The gas mileage really sucks, and I love it. It is my way of sticking to the Californians and liberals. I even drive without one spark plug, so I can drive in front of any Tesla and spew the gas. I am so sick of EVs. I am going the opposite of what everyone is doing. Buying a gas guzzler. Hell, my Porsche gets a better gas mileage than my Sequoia. I just absolutely love this car.

Safe to say, this review, which does not seem to reflect Sequoia owners experiences, is the reason why this content creator has 3.85K subscribers....

This is a great checklist of items to look for if you are buying a used Sequoia.

what the hell is a "sec"quoia????

Only problem with these Sequoias is that Toyota stopped producing them

Next to a Land Cruiser, Sequoia's are the most reliable vehicles available. I have a 2020 and have only had a leaking rear window strut/piston replaced under warranty. I use mine for hauling my dogs and camping in very remote areas of Montana and Idaho. I have complete confidence in my Sequoia and it has never let me down. I plan to keep it for the next ten years or more. This is a very disingenuous video to say the least.

Throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks🤣

i bought a 2011 n that was the first issue i had was the doors not locking! luckily it didn't cost me an arm n a leg to get it fixed

As many have commented, these issues are BS and not true. I have owned a 2009 with zero issues with 185k miles and a 2014 with zero issues at 166k miles.

My 08 limited is just a beast love the car. Mainly use for the weekend and road trips. Perfect for everything outdoor 🥰

I had an ‘05 and I loved it ! Got into an accident and the insurance totaled it. Getting ready to buy a 2011, test drive it and loved it more than my ‘05, even though it has over 200,000 miles it’s worth it for less than 10,000

I own 2008 toyota sequoia limited first one I should have gotten long ago best suv I have own to this day coming from GMC suv big improvement my opinion

2014 266k miles going strong no problems

Got a 2016 4x4 limited with 180k no issues just replaced a radiator.

😅😅😅This video how to of been made by GM, or Ford. We owned a 2008 sequoia limited did not have any of these problems. We had it with about 251,000 miles on it until a person made a left-hand turn and stopped right in front of us were my wife hit them at 50mph. If it wasn’t for this vehicle, I believe she would have been dead. Every single airbag went off. There was airbags in places where I didn’t even think there was the police had to take her out of the car, and I believe that if I just got the hood open and replace the radiator support and fix the electrical problems, you would still keep going. But all these issues in this video I’m definitely never experienced them. The unfortunate part is the sequoias are hard to come by and I was comparing the Sequoia to an Escalade, which I don’t want. As a used car dealer owner looked sequoia’s within the 500 mile radius only 15 popped up that I was looking for only one had 140,000 miles on it. Everything was 200,000 up for Escalade’s in the same radius same trim give or take 600 came up the one Sequoia that I was looking at 140,000 miles was the platinum for $22,000 auction price the one Escalade 2015 with 115,000 miles with more bells and whistles for $22,000. Don’t get me wrong. The Escalade is a beautiful looking vehicle, but I would rather have my Sequoia.

I own a 2011 Limited, purchased at 151k, now 172k, and haven't yet experienced any of these issues thus far. I've kept up with all normal maintenance, upgraded to bigger brakes discs and better pads, trans fluid change at purchase, eventually replaced front and rear suspension. I recently had one of the oil gaskets leaking so I replaced both. This truck is a BEAST!! Still a head turner at dealerships despite its age. Have driven from San Diego to Dallas twice, once to Reno through the Sierra Nevadas. Great on family trips. No major issues. Smooth riding, and quiet. I used to own a 2003 Expedition, good truck but the Sequoia is on a different level. I use premium gas for optimum performance. I wish Toyota had stayed with the bigger engine.

We have a 2012 Sequoia with 200K+ miles on it and have had NONE of these problems. 😇

This video is a pure troll🧌 😂

Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro (2nd generation), simply the best

They didn’t mention the common coolant leak from valley plate but regardless my 08 platinum has 400k km or 250k miles and doesn’t burn a drop of oil or have any of these issues greats deal to pick up an old one in todays market

Thanks for trying to inform but you don’t give links to the references of the reported issues . This makes the video sound like throwing hate at the Sequoia.

Scotty Kilmer should watch this..

It was proven that the acceleration was from aftermarket/double stacked floor mats

The old ones 1st generation were good

There's noting wrong with it.

It’s old and ancient

I NEED HELP MY FELLOW SEQUOIA OWNERS!! My coolant is rapidly disappearing and I don't know where it is going. My engine is not over heating and there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust. I don't think it's a head gasket, I honestly think it maybe the heater core. But I don't know how to test that.

Wow... hard to trust an expert to doesn't know how to pronounce sequoia.

Besides, The reviewer doesn't know how to pronounce Sequoia

After all this stipulated problems, Toyota land crusier and The toyota Tundra still functions after 1 million miles with proper maintenance, Toyota sequoia as the same engine with Tundra and would do the same thing after proper maintenance and would go pass a million mile which is far better than most new electric vehicles that will explode which is so sad, all other toyota models that proof its reliability are Toyota Tacoma with 1.6 million miles and still working strong Toyota prius with 999,999 miles, almost a mile and still working well Toyota camery and corolla with almost a million miles and still working well, with other all toyota models, you can watch you tube videos about this and see for yourself, Toyota vehicles are dependable, reliable and affordable with proper maintenance
