Re: Rear Window Dead?
This whole thing makes me very angry with Toyota and just shows how either dishonest or stupid their dealers are. I read how many of you were quoted to need a new ECU aaand motor! Funny how they both went out at once....WHAT BS this is! I bet that the ECU is fine in all of your vehicles and the motor is probably fine in 99% of them.
I too have the 2005 Sequoia and mine has done this twice. I just took off the panel and tapped the motor while my daughter pushed the down button and it made it work again. I will be trying the part removal trick next to see if I an fix it for good. I will never let the MASTER PARTS REPLACERS touch my Sequoia. What idiots! I am on to them.
Another rant if you will allow me....How does Toyota get away with these TSB's instead of a recall? Every problem we had with our Nissans has been a recall and done for free. This window thing is definitely a SAFETY problem since it affects the rear wiper and defroster!
I had a similar issue with my 2000 4Runner. The gas gauge did not work correctly from day one. I took it back to the stealership 5 times and they could not fix it...I gave up! Then about three weeks after my warranty was up, I found a TSB about it. They wanted $500 to repair it....IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW! The TSB proved it was a design flaw...It too was a safety issue....I ran out of gas three times when it said their was 1/2 of a tank on the gauge. Once with my pregnant wife in the car in below 20 degree weather and 10 miles from a town.
COME ON TOYOTA...YOU MAY MAKE SOME GREAT VEHICLES, BUt YOU NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKES AND QUIT HAVING YOUR DEALERS RIP US AND REPLACE THE BAD PARTS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR TONS OF MONEY....thanks, I will get off my soapbox now.
