Transmission Not Engage Problems of Toyota Sequoia

I own a 2006 Toyota Sequoia limited 4 wheel drive. During summer months when I stop at intersections we frequently receive a jolt in the drivetrain and a slight forward movement in the vehicle. It feels like the vehicle has been jerked forward by another vehicle. Many other people have complained online about this same problem. The Toyota dealership has stated their is nothing wrong with the transmission, however, that the problems is being caused by feedback torque from the air conditioning clutch engaging and disengaging. This is crazy. Toyota customer service says there is nothing wrong and this is normal.

My wife and I own a 2006 Toyota Sequoia limited 2 wheel drive. When stopping at intersections we frequently receive a jolt in the drivetrain and a slight forward movement in the vehicle. It feels like the vehicle has been lightly rear ended by another vehicle. Many other people have complained online about this same problem. The Toyota dealership has stated their is nothing wrong with the transmission, however, that the problems is being caused by feedback torque from the air conditioning clutch engaging and disengaging. How pathetic. My wife and I are concerned about the transmission, the possibility of rear ending another vehicle, entering an intersection, and decline in vehicle value etc. Toyota customer service has stated verbally that problem is a recognized problem by Toyota and is common to the other vehicles. Absolutely incredible they acknowledge a safety problem and have no solutions.

While driving 40mph the automatic transmission overdrive did not engage. The vehicle was seen by the Toyota dealer and an independent repair shop who determined the overdrive was defective and the transmission needed to be rebuilt. I should of looked in this website before I bought this vehicle please have Toyota recall this defect and repair our vehicles. I love the car, I hate this costly problem. Toyota should maintain us faithful in their quality and honesty by repairing our vehicle being it was first generation.

We have a Toyota Sequoia, the problems are the 4 wheel drive is not operating all the time. It does not engage sometimes and does not stay in 4 wheel drive. One example is my wife had six friends in the vehicle the 4 wheel drive did not stay engaged and the vehicle skid control made the engine loose power so she slid backwards down a hill. No one would ride in our 4wheel drive again. The vehicle skid control makes the engine loose power while in traffic. There is also a hesitation in the engine when accelerating from a complete stop. Another problem is the braking system is not adequate for the vehicle. The entire front brakes had to be replaced. The vehicle has been in for the same repairs at least 10 times and is still not working the way it should. We have all the documentation for service on our Sequoia. We have done internet research through NHTSA and have found the same problem with other Toyota Sequoia's. There was also a problem with the air conditioner having a bad oder from bacteria growing, the exhaust manifold was loose and the power window motors made a loud noise. We have filed a complaint on all the same problems with NHTSA, comsumer affairs of California and you. We want to pursue the lemon law and get our money back. We are currently working with Toyota arbritration but are getting nowhere. We have had Toyota's previously and had no problems with them. This vehicle is a lemon.
