I was driving my 2002 Toyota Sequoia on the highway in chicago and my vehicle completely died and would not restart. My battery was brand new and I had full power. Had the vehicle towed to a Toyota dealer and they could not find anything wrong with it. Tried to drive it home the next day and it died on the highway at 55 mph. Had it towed again to our home town and took it to a transmission shop. Mechanic stated that the radiator fluid leaked into the transmission and also that the debris from the mechanical parts of the transmission were laying on the bottom. He stated he has seen this in many Toyota Sequoias and that this is something that should have been recalled but has not.
