Formal complaint that 2022 thru 2025 Toyota Sequoia equipped with the 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine architecture (V35A-FTS) suffering from the notorious main bearing failure be included in the current recall of 2022 thru 2025 Toyota Tundra. If the engine block mechanically seizes, the entire drivetrain locks up, rendering the hybrid backup ineffective, creating a major safety issue. (NHTSA Campaign 25V767)

The motor in our 2023 Toyota Sequoia with around 32,000 miles failed and left me stranded on the side of a two lane highway in the middle of the night. Toyota only wants to replace the engine block and will not extend the warranty on the motor after it is repaired. This is the same motor that is in the Tundra that was recalled (NHTSA recall #25V767 for the V35A 3.4L i Force Max twin turbo V6 hybrid). Why is there not a recall on the Sequoia's motor? Now I will have a motor that has been torn apart and put back together by some random technician instead of getting a brand new motor from the factory, which is what they did for the Tundra. Toyota also extended the warranty on the motors for …

Around 63,xxx miles the force max 3.5 l twin turbo v6 hybrid displayed P0521 engine oil pressure switch and P0524 oil pressure to low 2 miles from my house. Sent to toyota on 1 June, engine blown. It has been 19 days and Toyota still hasn't made a decision on "good will" coverage. My wife calls every other day and it car has went thru 2 different teams worth neither of them calling the dealer for information. Desert toyota of tucson is trying to help but toyota is ignoring our claims. I'm a disabled veteran and this is our family primary means, we have not been provided a rental or anything. Very frustrating and a guy punch passing for this expensive unusable vehicle. From technician: …

I would like to create a complaint because my 2023 Toyota Sequoia is not included in the NHTSA recall #25V767 for the V35A 3.4L i Force Max twin turbo V6 hybrid. My Sequoia was manufactured on the same production line as engines that have been recalled for engine debris in the Tundra trucks and Sequoia's. Toyota's reasoning for not including my hybrid vehicle is it's not a safety concern as the hybrid electric motor will provide power if the V35A gasoline portion of the engine should fail. Owners of the Tundra and Sequoia have stated that with loss of engine power some control system fail creating a safety issue. I use this vehicle for towing our boat to and from the lake frequently. I …

I am creating this complaint because my vehicle has not been included in the NHTSA recall # 25V-767 on the V35A 3.4L twin-turbo V6 in my 2023 Sequioa. My vehicle was produced on the same manufacturing line and likely had the same engine debris. Toyota gives the reason for not including the hybrid because it is not a safety issue as the hybrid motor can provide power if the engine fails. However owners who have encountered this issue in a hybrid tundra or Sequioa has said that power-steering and control systems failed creating a safety issue. Additionally we use this vehicle to do long road trips that often put us long distances from any service center or roadside assistance. This creates an …

NHTSA complaint 11733811, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

The factory (OEM) roof rails on my 2023 Toyota Sequoia have become loose at the front and are popping up, no longer sitting flush or appearing securely attached to the roof. This issue occurs during normal driving and is visible without removing any trim or components. The front portion of the OEM roof rails appears to lift or separate, creating concern that the rails or associated hardware could detach while the vehicle is in motion. This presents a potential safety hazard due to the risk of parts coming loose at speed and becoming road debris, which could endanger other vehicles. I am aware of other owners reporting similar issues with the factory roof rails on this model, suggesting this …
