6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2011

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 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.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/13/2011

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 ?.

8 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2010

I bought my 2006 Sequoia used from a dealer. Shortly after buying it I noticed the brake light on the dashboard would come on intermittently. I have brought it to the dealers attention & they say they can not duplicate it & everything appears to be fine with the brakes. It is still happening. My rear wiper, window & defrost system have failed several times. At first I took it to the dealership & they said the window must not have been up the whole way & it was now working. It continued to go in and out, but now they have failed completely. . I have checked the fuses & they are fine. I have taken it to the dealership & they said they do not see anything immediately wrong with it and will need to investigate it further, but that will cost a lot more. I saw several other people have had the same or similar problems so I thought I should add my experience to the list.
