Owner Complaints (2)
Your 2018 Toyota Sequoia had a pending safety recall (manufacturer recall 20TA02, NHTSA recall 20V012) that was not addressed during your six-month service visit in September 2020, even though you expected it to be fixed. The dealership initially claimed no safety recalls existed, but later admitted the recall wasn't completed because you didn't specifically request it, they lacked a certified technician, and they made false statements on your service paperwork. The dealership promised to correct the paperwork and update their records but failed to do so after three weeks.

Your 2018 Toyota Sequoia had trouble starting and required several attempts before the engine would turn over. Once running, you noticed the vehicle drove with a rough, abnormal feel while driving. No warning lights appeared on your dashboard. Although this issue may be related to a known Toyota fuel system recall, your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall campaign. A fuel system inspection and possible fuel filter or fuel injector cleaning may be needed to diagnose the rough running condition.
