In owners' own words

Quoted from NHTSA's complaint file. These are unverified accounts by the people who filed them, not findings of fault.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Component Affected: Exterior Lighting (Tail Lamps) / Electrical System. Description of Defect and Safety Hazard:The rear tail lamp assemblies on this 2024 Toyota Sequoia have suffered a major sealing and adhesive compromise, permitting road dirt and fine debris to bypass internal filters and permanently accumulate inside the housing. This is a progressive design defect identical to the one that triggered Toyota’s massive 443,000-unit rear-lighting safety recall (Recall 25TA14 / 25TB14) for platform-sharing Tundras.This constitutes an active safety hazard. The dense layer of road grime and permanent dust obscuring the interior lenses significantly degrades the lumen output, visibility, and

NHTSA complaint 11744929, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

ENGINE
According to Toyota the exact same engine that is in my vehicle has a recall on it. However, since my vehicle has also had a hybrid system installed my engine is not covered. Basically, because the hybrid system offers the engine power relief there saying that the engine is okay which is not true. The same engine is the same engine. The faults of the engine in non-hybrids is the same faults in the hybrid just undiscovered as of yet. A recall should be made in order to update the hybrid engines as well because they contain the at fault parts as the non-hybrid engines.

NHTSA complaint 11744078. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The power liftgate and pinch sensor system on my 2024 Toyota Sequoia Platinum continues to malfunction intermittently and creates an ongoing safety concern. The liftgate frequently fails to close using the electronic controls and instead emits two warning beeps before becoming completely unresponsive, forcing the liftgate to be manually pushed shut. The pinch sensor system appears to falsely detect obstructions when none are present, causing unreliable and inconsistent operation of the rear liftgate. Because this is a powered safety-related system, the intermittent failure raises serious concerns regarding occupant safety, system reliability, and the ability to properly secure the rear

NHTSA complaint 11740250, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

ENGINE
UNKNOWN. I have NOT had an incident. I own a 2024 Toyota Sequoia SUV that uses the same engine as the hundreds of thousands of Tundra trucks that Toyota has already recalled. They've recalled over 250,000 Tundras because they say "machining debris" may cause a problem that eventually destroys the engine's main bearing, resulting in loss of power. [XXX] My problem is, they are NOT recalling the hybrid models that use this exact same engine, to include both Tundras and Sequoias. It seems they do this because the hybrid model still MAY be able to safely exit the road if failure happens because the hybrid battery and motors can still move it. As an owner of a Sequoia, I am concerned that this

NHTSA complaint 11739086, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

SEATS
The plastic panel underneath the driver’s seat has cracked and broken a SECOND time, despite being repaired at Toyota dealership. Toyota customer care was contacted and while they admitted this is a known issue and they are aware it is happening repeatedly, even after a few months after being replaced there is no fix in sight and they will not cover the repair. Size should not matter but I am a smaller person and not applying excess force when seated. I am worried about SAFETY as a secure seat that doesn’t move and break while buckled should be expected and required.

NHTSA complaint 11737329. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

SEAT BELTS
The second row right seat belt receptacle wiring harness failed on my 2024 Toyota Sequoia. The two wires connecting the seat belt buckle sensor were severed cleanly. The wiring harness is routed through the seat fold/pivot mechanism with insufficient slack or protection. Normal use of the fold-flat seat function caused the harness to be pinched and abraded at the pivot point over time, eventually shearing the wires completely. The seat belt alarm activated continuously even when buckled, as the sensor could no longer detect buckle engagement. The dealer inspected the vehicle and attributed the damage to user fault, declining warranty coverage. Upon self-repair, the cause was clearly

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
