Never had a problem with my Sequioa. I love it. It is a 2001 with 100,000 miles. (I travel the eastern seaboard alot) We fit 7 adults and 1 marine(!) comfortably in it. As for maintenace just the regular oil changes and we had to replace the timing something when we hit the 100,000 mark. My husband works for Toyota's service garage and very rarely do people want o part with them. Being that they are v-8 they did get traded in for fuel-efficent vehicles.
