2016 Toyota Sequoia 4dr SUV
381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range
| The cruise control on this vehicle has had problems from pretty much day one. Sometimes it will just shut down for no reason. Dealership suggested cleaning the sensor on front of the vehicle, but the problem has happened when the sensor was clean and also when not using the radar sensor. Dealership replaced the control module, but problem has continued intermittently. I can sometimes fix it by shutting off the cruise control and turning it back on. Other times it requires shutting off the ignition and restarting the vehicle. We're just living with it but expect better from a $65,000 vehicle. |

The rear liftgate window began rolling down by itself occasionally usually when it was raining. Sometimes while driving and sometimes while the car was off and parked. It is too intermittent to troubleshoot so I just disconnected the liftgate key switch after reading forums. I can't lock/unlock or roll the window down from that switch now but the window does not roll down unintentionally any longer. |
