Problem overview

Some Toyota Sequoia owners report experiencing loud popping noises, particularly from the back driver side brakes locking, which may be linked to several potential issues. These noises could stem from faulty suspension components, such as worn-out shock absorbers and control arms, as well as damaged CV joints and axles or problems with ball joints. Additionally, if the popping noise is accompanied by the brakes locking, it may indicate problems within the braking system, including worn-out brake pads, calipers, or rotors. Owners are advised to have their brakes inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and address any issues causing these symptoms. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to prevent further damage and ensure the vehicle's safety and performance.
