2017 Toyota Sequoia

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Sequoia.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2017 Toyota Sequoia is a full-size SUV that runs a 0W-20 engine oil fill of 7.9 quarts, paired with an Automatic (S6) transmission and EPA ratings of 13 city/17 highway/15 combined mpg. Reliability data for this model year is comparatively light: Toyota logged just 7 owner complaints and 3 recalls, with the leading concern reported under Fuel/Propulsion System. Against the Sequoia's broader 2001–2022 complaint history — which peaked at 692 complaints in 2002 and bottomed at 1 in 2022 — the 2017 model lands near the low-complaint end of the spectrum, suggesting a relatively quiet year in the model's track record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 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 2017 Toyota Sequoia represents a mature point in the vehicle's lifecycle, exhibiting only 7 federal complaints which continues the significant decline from the hundreds recorded annually between 2001 and 2005. This low complaint volume improves upon the 10 complaints from 2016, though it remains lower than the 20 complaints logged for the subsequent 2018 model. While Technical Service Bulletins decreased to 178 from the generation's peak in 2013, the 2017 record includes 3 recalls and 1 investigation, figures consistent with the 2013-2016 period. Top complaint categories involve the Fuel/Propulsion System and Structure, but the provided data does not specify the root causes for these incidents. Based on this downward trend in complaints and steady recall activity relative to the generation's history, the 2017 model year stands out as a statistically sound choice for a used purchase.
