Consumer Description

WHERE TO BEGIN. WE HAVE HAD ON-GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE SEQUOIA. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALER ADDRESSED ALL BUT THE LAST ISSUE DUE TO THEIR PROXIMITY TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE AIR CONDITIONER SEIZED. $1500 BILL DODGED. SECOND PROBLEM, THE BRAKES WORE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF OVERDRIVE WHEN GOING DOWN HILL AT THE COST OF FUEL EFFICIENCY. $1,000 BILL DODGED, BUT I'M PAYING FOR IT IN LOSS OF MPG. LASTLY, THE FLIP-SEAT WHICH ALLOWS PASSENGERS TO ACCESS THE REAR-MOST SEAT IS BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED TO THE TUNE OF $800! I'LL HAVE TO EAT THAT ONE.
