Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota sequoia. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times while steering to the right. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic that was unable to locate a failure code. the vehicle was also test driven, but the failure did not duplicate. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure mileage was 64,000 and the current mileage was 65,000.
I had just stopped at a red light when my suv shuddered and then stalled out. it restarted but the a/c light blinked. the dealer said the a/c froze up (at 42000 miles) and needed to be replaced for over $1700.00- not under warranty. it will be fixed in the next month or so. if the light had not changed when it did i may have stalled in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in virginia beach ( so unsafe there are red light cameras at that intersection). prior to this the a/c had worked perfectly, so there was no warning that this would happen. *tr

Exhaust fumes in interior when accelerating. *tr
I have 2007 toyota seguoia, in the last 2 months i, as well as my friends, have noticed a very strong odor of exaust fumes accumulating in the cabin of my suv when: -accelerating to pass -decelerating from passing -stronger when a/c on and in "recirculate mode" -also when just regular a/c on the fumes have caused my friends to become ill with nausea, headaches, and sleepiness. the fumes have caused me to become very sleepy when travelilng, and my friends say my thinking is off in last couple of months. i took to local toyota dealership, and they told me that they did not notice it? then told me they would not investigate it further because no notice was out? my suv has 24k miles on it, i have owned it for one year. this is a severe passenger safety issue, it is going to cause someone to fall asleep at the wheel, and kill someone else or self. it is also danger to passengers in car in multiple avenues. i think this needs to be investigated asap! thanks! *tr
