| Pushed switch for power rear tailgate window, window assembly broke and window fell down into door. upon examination, all components - regulator assembly and all connecting parts were severely corroded which led to failure. less than 12 months later, rear tailgate outside handle broke; again under examination the entire interior latch assembly was severely corroded which caused failure. this in my opinion is a design or assembly defect. water is not supposed to be leaking into the interior of the tailgate. from the extent of corrosion, this condition had been occurring for many years - most likely in my opinion immediately from the time that we acquired the vehicle new. the failure, while caused from a defect from the beginning of vehicle life, manifested itself after the vehicle warranty period and toyota is refusing to address. from some online research, i have found this to be a common problem. *tr | |||

| 2006 toyota sequoia. consumer states mats would constantly move under the pedals interfering with gas and brake pedals, there was a loud noise while driving high speeds and when it rains water would leak inside *tgw the consumer stated the dealer assured her, they had rectified the problem by replacing the mats and making sure the lining around the windows were tight. however, the leak continued as well as the noise while driving. also, the navigation/radio,cd player wasn't working properly. the dealer was finally able to stop the water from leaking in the vehicle. the consumer then stated the vehicle began to stall/ hesitate while turning and then it would jerk fast at times. a diagnosis revealed the transmission pan gasket was leaking. also the power outlets were no longer working, the vehicle began to ride rough, the seat would grind and vibrate, the tire pressure monitoring light illuminated, the brake hardware kit was falling apart, the engine was leaking oil and the dealer replaced the gaskets, the trunk wouldn't open. the consumer stated while driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly stopped. the dealer stated the transmission needed to be replaced. the dealer informed the consumer the drain plug was missing. *jb | |||

| Have a 2006 toyota sequioa and everyonce and awhile the lights will come on the dash board and the braking system will be very hard to press, almost not stopping the vehicle. i turn the vehicle off for little bit and it returns to normal (sometimes). i see there are other complaints to this matter but still no recall??? it is a really dangerous situation when driving and the lights come on and there are virtually no brakes to speak of. this has been going on for about 1 1/2 years. this latest incdent has prompted me to look into this and as i have foud out there are others as well, what can i do ? | |||

| 2006 toyota sequoia has experienced intermittent electrical problems since purchase. on 30 july 09 vehicle experienced multiple computer failure of ecu, vsc, and other computers. toyota tech reps say vehicle could not have caused problem, therefore it must be an external' fault. however, there is absolutely no evidence of any external arcing or other power surge indicative of an external event. toyota refuses to admit potential of a latent defect and says incident must be referred for insurance. toyota will not address logical questions as to why other (non-protected systems such as the radio) in the vehicle still function in light of the alleged external event. additionally, there were no circuit breaker or fuses blown, so again how is it possible for the external event theory to be valid? given the anecdotal evidence on the web concerning sequoia ecus and vsc computers, what action can nhtsa take to have the manufacturer address the problems? *tr | |||
