2023 Toyota Sequoia

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Sequoia.

Transmission Automatic (S10)

The 2023 Toyota Sequoia is offered with an Automatic (S10) transmission and returns EPA‑rated fuel economy of 21/24/22 mpg. In its first year on the market it logged 35 total owner complaints, with service brakes cited as the top problem area and five recalls issued. Compared with the model’s complaint history from 2001‑2022 — where the peak was 692 complaints in 2002 and the trough was just one complaint in 2022 — the 2023 figure places it near the low end of the spectrum, suggesting a continuation of the recent reliability improvement seen in the preceding year.

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; spark plugs every 40,000 mi; coolant every 100,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 100,000 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 federal complaint record shows a steady decline from 530 complaints in 2001 to 1 complaint in 2022. In the most recent year with data, 2022, only one complaint was filed and no fire complaints were recorded for the 2023 model year. For the 2023 model year, the top complaint areas are Service Brakes (4), Structure (3), Unknown Or Other (3), and Engine (2), with a single crash complaint. The data does not specify a root cause, and no investigations or TSBs are listed for this year. Given the low complaint volume and absence of fire incidents, the 2023 Toyota Sequoia is a sensible purchase.
