What owners wrote
2001 toyota sequoia. When I shifted from reverse to drive the engine roared to a fully racing engine and accelerated forward. Hard braking could not slow the vehicle and it hit the back of a 2004 honda mini-van that was parked, doing extensive damage but causing no injuries.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 toyota sequoia. While driving approximately 5 MPH the contact heard a ticking noise in the engine. The contact stated that the failure had been on going since 2002 and it occurred daily. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who advised her that it was just a noisy lifter and nothing to be concerned about;however, the failure continued to occur. The vehicle was taken to several dealers and mechanics who were unable to diagnose the failure.
