The dealer had trouble tracking it down and ended up replacing almost everything inthe brake system - had to negotiate price since they replaced things that weren't necessary in the end"

Harold J., NC (2004 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4.7-L V8)"After more that 130,000 miles it was time for a brake job"
Anonymous, TX (2004 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4.7-L V8)"Right front calliper did not work all braking action was being done by the other wheels"
Steve H., AB (2004 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4.7-L V8)"another designed-to-fail cable always stretches, rendering the parking brake of poor security. Cable must be much larger diameter which will stop this FAIL. Intentional design defficiency"
Jimmy M., TX (2004 Toyota Sequoia 4.7-L V8)"Apparently Toyota put car quality brakes on a 5000+ lb truck. We are lucky to get 30,000 on a set of brakes. The Tahoe, on the other went over 100,000 miles before being replaced."
Mark D., FL (2004 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4.7-L V8)"Front brakes last 25k to 30k miles, per dealer this is normal. Tahoe front brakes last 100k. I suspect Toyota used brakes that were just not suited for the weight of the vehicle (~5200 curbside). Additionally it's $500 for every service appointment - they always find something."
Anonymous, FL (2004 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4.7-L V8)"I suspect this is connected to the premature brake wear"
Anonymous, FL (2004 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4.7-L V8)"After a service to replace front brakes, lost brakes completely. Called Toyota National, they towed the car to service and completely fixed what went wrong. I was going down a hill and brake pedal went to the floor. Had lost all fluid in lnes. Scary but no one hurt. Not sure if service failure or part."
