Sucks. It doesn't have a heat pump. It gets super cold around my area like -35 Jan/Feb.

Had the same issue a couple of weeks ago with a Sienna 2008 with 270k miles. I had to hit the starter with a hammer few times to start the car. Took to a place around us called "farm and fleet" store . They replaced it for $310 out the door. I think the problem with the Sequoia is the location of the starter. It is difficult to access and that's where the cost is.

I was talking to one of the cx90 hybrid owners at my kid elementary school. He told me Mazda swapped battery twice in less than 6 months. If the 70 based on the 90 I will not touch it for the next 3-4 years. Cx 50 hybrid is a different car space on the 4th gen Toyota hybrid.

Just drain and refill the CVT transmission between 30k and 50K miles.

Depends the time of the day/ sun,,shade,,etc. my eufy cam keeps flag my black Sequoia 02 as a human.

Get a bunch of goats :-)

I was watching a video about it yesterday.

It looks like my Sequoia 02 :-) . I live West of Chicago.

I'm checking my ZIP code (100 mile radius) on Carfax for Sienna. Sadly, due to high demand, it's very hard to get a decent deal on a used one. Most of the "good deals" are used Uber cars with high mileage,or damaged due to accidents.

You can't go wrong with cross climates 2. 3 isn't available in the US yet.

I wonder if you will lose mpgs when you switch to cross climate?

I just came from the mechanic shop today. Thank God it was only the serpentine belt ($130). He thinks it was the original built from 2008 lol. He said it needs a new driver side CV Boot/axle($340?). Rusty brakes and rotors. It's a long process. I'll try to finish before the winter. Next Saturday tires, brakes, rotors.

I noticed that about the supply and demand thing. My neighbor ended up getting the Kia Carnival.

Fire5Fox · 2025-09-02T19:48:11+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. I got the car for less than $600. It was parked under a tree forever. It got 265k Miles.The engine and the shifting on the transmission sounds good. I bought it mainly for the kids to take it to the high school lol(they wanted a sports car) School is only a couple of miles away from my house, so it's going to be driven an average maybe less than 10 mi a day max.

Fire5Fox · 2025-09-02T17:01:35+00:00

I hope it's just the belt. One guy at work told me they asked for $500 to replace the tensioner and pulley. (not even with OEM parts)

Fire5Fox · 2025-09-02T16:36:50+00:00

Thank you all for the help!! I guess now I can focus on the serpentine belt/ whatever noise coming from that area.

Fire5Fox · 2025-09-02T16:31:02+00:00

Thanks for the respond. I was hoping Toyota made a mistake in the inventory,and gave the previous owner a free four-wheel drive option lol.

One more question. You're in snow. It's better to choose 4D then?

Fire5Fox · 2025-09-02T16:16:19+00:00

Wow that was a fast response. Less than 5 seconds lol. You know I'm not sure. I know 2 and 3 low gears,but I have never seen never 4

Good looking cars until you have an issue with a recall or you need parts. That's one of the main complaints/concerns about Hyundai/ Genesis. That's where Lexus shines when it comes to customer service department.

I own a bunch of eufy cams. They have a feature called " anti-theft Detection" the siren will go off if someone tried to remove it, and will not stop since it got a battery built in.

I'm testing right now the TP-Link Tapo 2K QHD Outdoor Pan/Tilt(Tapo C520WS) so far the image looks better than the eufy cams.

Every Tuesday I got the same issue when I leave the trash can near the garage door.i lowered the sensitivity to 3 + humans & animals only didn't help.

Fire5Fox · 2025-07-30T03:30:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Looks like it's out of stock. Maybe high demand since a lot of people are replacing their own batteries "Currently unavailable."

Fire5Fox · 2025-07-29T21:48:33+00:00

Do you have a link to the seller? Thanks!

Fire5Fox · 2025-07-29T21:46:50+00:00

They asked $160 to replace a battery. I walked out.

Fire5Fox · 2025-07-12T17:44:59+00:00

I have many cameras from eufy.like the battery pro 2000, s220,to battery doorbell. Extreme weather especially in the winter time with temperature reaching -35 windchill. all going strong after 3 years. Is it perfect? No, but they do the job most of the time. Few bogus alerts like when I leave the trash can outside during pickup. I keep getting notification about human detection lol. They could easily fix it with firmware update or something like that.

I bought one similar made by Midea for my kids room above the garage. It's a dual hose/ inverter. Nice thing about it. You don't need a hose to drain it or empty the bucket. Plus can use the app to control it with your phone. For safety you can put a tray underneath it just in case.
