dano100,

I have a 2001 Sequoia which I purchased in Nov. 2000 - within weeks of when the Sequia was initially available. The original tires were replaced at less than 30,000 miles. Front brake pads lasted about 40,000 miles. I had the ticking noise from the engine that many have discussed - a Toyota field rep fixed it in less than an hour. The original "deluxe" stereo system is disappointing but my wife doesn't care. The parking brake needs frequent adjustment but it is easy to do. To summarize, the vehicle has not been perfect but I have spent ZERO on repairs other than normal wear items and I'm sure that the vehicle has been improved since it was first introduced. I would have no problem recommending the vehicle to family or friend. My biggest gripes are power and fuel consumption and I feel both of these issues could be adressed with a BIGGER ENGINE but that's a different subject. By the way, I have over 70,000 miles on the vehicle now.
