2016 Toyota Sequoia 4dr SUV

381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range

Toyota Sequoia in South Dakota, United States
Dec 2016 - Jan 2022
Jul 2016 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.
