 Bought this SUV new in 2001.  Traded in a 4 Runner.  Now have nearly 100M miles.  We have had no mechanical problems of any kind.  Great Vacation Car.  Great Car for hauling kids stuff to college. The highway comfort and ride is the best I have experienced in any vehicle.  It is large for hauling stuff but there is no bouncing or truck like handling.  No rust, no rattles, steering and brakes still solid after nearly 10 years.  We don't drive off road, but the Sequoia is great in the snow here in Chicago.  Good speed and acceleration for highway passing.  Mileage is superb for a vehicle this size.  Better than our Acura MDX and friend's Explorer.
