2008 TOYOTA SEQUOIA
Filed Jul 21, 2026
While accelerating to pass a vehicle that was signaling and operating well below the speed limit, my vehicle experienced sudden and continued unintended acceleration. I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop while fighting against the engine within an intersection but the engine continued building revs, bouncing off the limiter while my foot was entirely removed from the accelerator pedal and fully applied to the brake. During this time I had moved the gear selector to neutral, only furthering…

2025 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HYBRID
Filed Jul 14, 2026
I'm looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with a Toyota warranty denial. I own a 2025 Toyota Sequoia that is still under warranty. I first brought it to Mountain States Toyota because the power liftgate would only partially open, beep repeatedly, and would not open or close correctly using the buttons. I also noticed the right side of the liftgate was not sitting flush. The dealership confirmed in writing that the liftgate was misaligned, would not operate correctly, and that there was a…

2023 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HYBRID
Filed Jul 1, 2026
The motor in our 2023 Toyota Sequoia with around 32,000 miles failed and left me stranded on the side of a two lane highway in the middle of the night. Toyota only wants to replace the engine block and will not extend the warranty on the motor after it is repaired. This is the same motor that is in the Tundra that was recalled (NHTSA recall #25V767 for the V35A 3.4L i Force Max twin turbo V6 hybrid). Why is there not a recall on the Sequoia's motor? Now I will have a motor that has been torn…
