| Description of the problem | Toyota extended the warranty coverage for repairs related to illumination of the check engine light (malfunction indicator light) due to moisture/water in the air injection pumps and/or air switching valves for select sequoia trucks. It should be required to extend it to all sequoia trucks as it clearly recognizes this pump and valve assembly is defective in this model. The coverage extends for the lesser of 10 years or 150,000 miles but instead should be for the greater of the two. This repair costs $4000 and typically occurs when the truck value is near $7000. My truck is experiencing this problem and will not accelerate above 50 mph which can be dangerous. |
