Owner Complaints (1)
While driving your 2011 Toyota Sequoia, the engine suddenly began bucking and knocking, dashboard lights flashed, and the vehicle stalled without warning—causing you to lose braking and steering control in traffic. A mechanic diagnosed a broken valve spring in cylinder #7 that allowed a valve to drop into the cylinder and strike the piston, which is considered catastrophic damage in this engine design. The repair required a complete engine replacement at a cost of over $10,000. The valve spring part number is reportedly the same part that was recalled in some Lexus vehicles but not in your Toyota.
