About 2021 Toyota Sequoia Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Sequoia tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set 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!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Sequoia tires online.

Questions About 2021 Toyota Sequoia Tires

  • Why does Toyota tire inflation matter? A small decrease in tire pressure can have a big impact on your driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help improve braking time, increase fuel economy, and boost tire lifespan.
  • What do the numbers on my Toyota Sequoia tires mean? Your tire sidewall gives you information about load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to one of our tire technicians to learn how to read the numbers on your tire!
  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Sequoia tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Sequoia tires.

  • 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.
  • Should my Sequoia be leaking brake fluid when the car is 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.

  • How do I know if my Toyota drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Toyota Sequoia, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Sequoia? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Sequoia’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • 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.

In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When you bring in your 2021 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? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • How often should you get a wheel alignment for your Sequoia?  Check your Sequoia owner's manual for Toyota's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Do you need to get your Sequoia wheels aligned when you get new tires?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Sequoia, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

Engine Q&A 2021 Toyota Sequoia

  • Why does the check engine light in my Sequoia turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Sequoia firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are Toyota Sequoia engine noises bad?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Sequoia engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage a Toyota engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Tire Repair

If your 2021 Toyota Sequoia is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. In some cases, a tire doesn’t have to be replaced – it can be plugged and patched with a simple repair. Depending on the damage, though, a repair might not be the right move. Our technicians can determine which option is best for your situation. We’ll begin by taking a look at where the damage is, the type and extent of the tire damage, and how all of your tires are wearing.

If your 2021 Toyota Sequoia tire puncture can be repaired, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Your Questions About Toyota Sequoia Tire Repair, Answered

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? 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? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • Why do my Sequoia tires keep losing air? Your Sequoia tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

Questions About 2021 Toyota Sequoia Maintenance

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Toyota Sequoia?  Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Toyota Sequoia need high mileage oil?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota Sequoia engines.
  • Why are my Toyota dashboard lights on?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Toyota Sequoia, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Commonly Asked Toyota Sequoia Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Sequoia battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • How long do car batteries last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Sequoia’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Sequoia car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends having your 2021 Toyota Sequoia’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Your Sequoia may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2021 Toyota Sequoia motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Consult Toyota's recommendations to select the right  2021 Sequoia oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your Sequoia’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Sequoia's engine.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2021 Toyota Sequoia

  • Why is my Toyota Sequoia oil light illuminated?  The oil change light in your Toyota Sequoia could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Sequoia spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Tune-Up & Engine Service

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Sequoia’s power on the road. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota Sequoia engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Sequoia. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Sequoia's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Sequoia's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Toyota Sequoia spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Sequoia? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Sequoia. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Sequoia need to be cleaned? 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.

2021 Sequoia Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2021 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, pulls 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 2021 Toyota Sequoia in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Sequoia suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Toyota Sequoia bounce so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sequoia goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Sequoia tilt forward when I hit 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?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

2021 Toyota Sequoia A/C Service Near You

Our technicians will work to solve your 2021 Toyota Sequoia A/C problems to the best of their ability. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2021 Toyota Sequoia’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2021 Toyota Sequoia, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2021 Toyota Sequoia A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Sequoia A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 won’t my Sequoia’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  Damaged or worn components in your Sequoia’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Service & Repairs

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Sequoia’s performance. Toyota Sequoia transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Toyota Sequoia transmission issues your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or discover that your Sequoia’s not even driveable. Our expert techs are familiar with 2021 Sequoia services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your Sequoia’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

2021 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my Sequoia's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota Sequoia transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. 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 as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Can I drive my Toyota Sequoia with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Sequoia with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

  • When should I get a complete vehicle inspection for my Toyota Sequoia?  The best time to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Toyota Sequoia is before going on a road trip for the peace of mind.

We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the heater core to the radiator cap, we’re here to give your 2021 Toyota Sequoia the top-notch service it needs.

Common Toyota Sequoia Radiator Questions

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What is causing my Sequoia to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Toyota Sequoia engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What can cause a Sequoia radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your Sequoia’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
