2019 Toyota Sequoia SUV 2WD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2019 Toyota Sequoia SUV 2WD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

"i took my 2019 sequoia to toyota of knoxville for scheduled maintenance and was told the boots on my rack of my power steering has a leak and needs to be repaired for the cost of $2000. my sequoia has 84,308 miles and i was told this was caused by "normal wear and tear." when i started looking into it i found a recall for 2008-2022 sequoias with the exact same issue as mine (toyota recall 21tb10 or 21ta10) issued on november 22, 2021, but was told that despite my car having the same issue that it was not covered by the recall and i would have to pay for repairs to-of-pocket. upon further research, the number one cause for leaks in power steering is age and use, again, my sequoia is a 2019 with 84,308 miles, so neither would apply."
