Choosing 2017 Toyota Sequoia Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Sequoia tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Toyota Sequoia tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the average lifespan of Sequoia brake pads? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Sequoia can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Is it bad if my Sequoia is leaking brake fluid when off? Your Sequoia has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Sequoia? A multitude of problems can activate your Sequoia’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Sequoia? A drivetrain malfunction in your Sequoia should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Toyota intended them to. When you bring in your 2017 Toyota Sequoia, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Toyota Sequoia Alignment

  • What can knock my Toyota Sequoia out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Sequoia Engines

  • Why does my Toyota engine sound different? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Sequoia engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my Toyota Sequoia engine?  Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Toyota Sequoia Tire Repair Questions

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Sequoia engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Toyota Sequoia to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long. Using a temporary sealant may also void a Bridgestone or Firestone tire warranty.
  • What can cause Sequoia tires to keep losing air?  If your Sequoia tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

  • Can I change my Toyota Sequoia oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

2017 Toyota Sequoia Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Sequoia spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Sequoia? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Sequoia fuel injectors? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2017 Toyota Sequoia Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 2017 Toyota Sequoia, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sequoia jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Toyota Sequoia in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Sequoia Steering & Suspension

  • What can cause my Toyota Sequoia to have a bouncy ride?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sequoia to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sequoia to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Sequoia when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sequoia's steering and suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Sequoia A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Sequoia A/C?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Sequoia’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my Sequoia’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Sequoia may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Sequoia?  Yes. Toyota Sequoia transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Is it okay to drive a Sequoia with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Sequoia with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

2017 Toyota Sequoia Radiator Service

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2017 Toyota Sequoia is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. Toyota recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Toyota Sequoia cooling system. Then, we’ll move on to a machine-powered coolant exchange. Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks.

Questions About Toyota Sequoia Radiators

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Toyota?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • My Sequoia overheated! What can cause that?  If your Toyota Sequoia engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • Why does the radiator in my Sequoia sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?  Your Sequoia’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
