Problem Reports

I too have had a problem with the right front O2 sensor in my 2002 Sequoia SR5... My mechanic said not to worry about it unless I just wanted to replace it. However, it does cause the Check Engine light to stay on, so I haven't had that feature for a while, and finally a problem has arisen where it might have saved a more costly repair. It doesn't sound as though replacing it would likely have done much good either though. Seems as though when there is a consistent problem with a part the manufacturer should make good on it.

In all fairness, I have to say that otherwise I love my Sequoia, and it has been a reliable vehicle; only problems since I've owned it (my son had it the first two or three years; bought it new), is the sensor, the back door latch (which also seems to be common to this model), and now a radiator replacement. Have read about the "frame rot" in looking for information today... hope that is not on my horizon. 8/

check engine light came on, i ignored for 6+ months because it had happened 5 years before and it cost $1100 in various fixes to resolve; going to pick up again today for $400

over the life of my car I've replaced all 4 O2 sensors at least once, some as many as 2 or 3 times. The front ones are especially irritating as the dealer is usually the only one who has these and they are expensive
