2014 Toyota Sequoia

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Sequoia.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

As an SUV routing power through a six-speed automatic transmission, the 2014 Toyota Sequoia relies on an engine requiring 7.9 quarts of 0W-20 or 5W-20 API oil to deliver an EPA-rated 13/18/15 mpg. When contextualized within the model's broader complaint history spanning 2001 to 2022—where the 2002 model year peaked at 692 complaints and the 2022 model dropped to a low of just one—the 2014 Sequoia's tally of 17 total owner complaints and three recalls places it firmly outside the platform's historically problematic era. With its top complaint area registered only as "Unknown or Other," this relatively low volume of issues means the 2014 model stands as a notably stable and dependable point for researchers evaluating the vehicle's long-term lineage.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2014 Toyota Sequoia sits in the middle of the second generation (2008–2022), a period defined by a dramatic drop in complaints from the first generation’s peak of 692 in 2002. With only 17 complaints and 3 recalls, 2014 is consistent with the low-complaint trend of its immediate neighbors (2013: 12, 2015: 9) and well below the generation’s earlier years. Its 342 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are high but slightly down from 2013’s 363, indicating that Toyota actively addressed issues through bulletins rather than recalls. The single investigation and one crash complaint suggest no systemic safety crisis, though the data does not specify root causes for the top complaint areas (Unknown/Other and Fuel/Propulsion System). Overall, the 2014 model year represents a mature, low-risk point in the generation’s arc, making it a good buy for a used full-size SUV—provided you verify that any TSB-related fixes have been applied.
