| Purchased a toyota sequoia 7/01. been in and out of service ever since. we are currently on our 3rd set of brakes, 3rd trip computer, and 3rd set of tires, 2nd battery, 2nd amplifier. car only has 33,000 miles many other problems including some electrical. currently waiting for word from dealership on problems with transmission and fuel system. everything up to this point (except tires #3) has been covered by warranty. dealership got a case # with toyota so these problems will be covered if they persist. feel like we are on the path to a lemon. don't know how else to proceed. sent toyota a letter detailing problems, asking to possibly help us get into another vehicle. we are at the point where it is a new concern everyday with this car. help!!!!!!*ak | |||
