2010 Toyota Sequoia Complaints

TOOK VEHICLE OUT CAME HOME. TURNED VEHICLE OFF THEN WENT INSIDE. CAME OUT LATER AND SAW THAT DASH BOARD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. NOTHING ELSE WAS ON (DOME LIGHTS, RADIO, HEATER, ETC.). TRIED LOOKING FOR SOMETHING OPEN, (DOOR, ETC.). LOOKED IN MAINTENANCE MANUAL AND COULDN'T FIND SOLUTION. SO FIGURE I'D JUST START VEHICLE UP THEN TURN OFF. AFTER STARTING VEHICLE I THEN WENT TO TURN OFF BUT ENGINE WON'T STOP RUNNING . I WAS EVEN ABLE TO PULL KEY OUT AND VEHICLE KEPT RUNNING. DROVE IT TO NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE GETTING REPAIRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 SEQUOIA WE HEAR A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS AND UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, A SECOND LATER THE RADIO GOES OUT. THIS EVENT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY REPORTED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY REPORT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE LAST TIME WE BROUGHT IT IN BACK TO THE DEALER WE HARD SEVERAL CLICKING SOUNDS THE RADIO WENT OFF, WE HAD OUR PHONES PLUGGED IN THE CHARGER AND THEY WENT OFF, THE AIR WENT OFF AND THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF. IT STAYED OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN WE HEARD THE CLICKING SOUND AGAIN AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. WE HAVE 4 VIDEO RECORDINGS OF THIS HAPPENING AND WE SHOWED IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY STILL REPORTED THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING. WORRIED IT MAY LEAD TO MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

DATES INDICATED ABOVE ARE APPROXIMATE... IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE (NEW), I NOTICED THAT THE EMERGENCY / PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE EVEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO ADJUST THE BRAKE. AFTERWARD, I NOTED A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT, BUT THE PARKING BRAKE STILL WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. I INQUIRED ABOUT THE SITUATION AGAIN, AND THE DEALERSHIP'S TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE HAD BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE MAX ALLOWANCE AND THAT THE BRAKE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE, BUT ONLY TO ASSIST WHEN PARKING ON AN INCLINE. I DID NOT AND STILL DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TRUE/ACCURATE; HOWEVER, I COULD NOT PROVE OTHERWISE, SO I TOOK NO FURTHER ACTION. *TR

WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC IN A PARKING LOT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, WITH CAR IN "DRIVE", FOOT ON BRAKE AND AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH IDLE (APPROX 1200-1500 RPM). THE CAR LUNGED FORWARDED SLIGHTLY, BUT I WAS ABLE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND STOP WITHOUT COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. WHEN I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST BACK TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND ENGINE WAS STILL AT A HIGH IDLE. I PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I RESTARTED THE ENGINE; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT THE ENGINE IDLED NORMAL AND THE ACCELERATOR RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EARLY THE FOLLOWING WEEK, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD ALREADY GONE OFF. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR ALL WEEK, BUT WHEN I RETU...

VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND PUT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. BRAKE WAS STEPPED ON AND DEPRESSED WITH BOTH FEET, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SPIN TIRES TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO A MAXIMUM SPEED. VEHICLE WAS THEN THROWN INTO "DRIVE" AND THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO A MAXIMUM SPEED FORWARD SPINNING ALL FOUR TIRES (WHEN NOT IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE). THE VEHICLE WAS THEN THROWN INTO PARK AND SHUT DOWN. LATER THAT NIGHT (WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED) THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO START ITSELF. THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO SPIN THE STARTER. THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AS IT ALSO APPEARED TO DRAIN THE BATTERY. THIS CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MINUTES. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT SUCH AS THE RADIO AND SPEAKERS TURNED ON AND OFF WHILE THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUED WAS GOING ON. EVENTUALLY THE CAR'S BATTERY FAILED AND ALL OF THE ABNORMALITIES STOPPED. I HAVE NOT STARTED THE VEHICLE SINCE, A...
