What owners report
I have 2013 Toyota, Sequoia blizzard pearl and my paint started chipping. I have reached out to corporate 3 separate times and they have refused to assist me in this matter. Based off the article listed below, I have a window up to 14 years which is quickly approaching and I have been denied by corporate twice and my local dealer. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
2013 Toyota Sequoia Limited (108,000 miles) Rear lift gate around latch was not designed correctly to allow moisture out. Our vehicle is in pristine shape other than the rear lift gate latch. By the time you notice it, itâs too late and unfixable. Iâve seen these get so bad from doing internet research some people hold the door down with straps because the structural integrity is gone and the lift gate canât be latched and could fly open. The ironic thing about this is itâs obvious Toyota has a problem. Toyota charges $750 - $1000 for a new unpainted lift gate, however NO dealer in the United states can tell you when youâll receive it because itâs on a nationwide backorder. W
Due to a latent defect, Toyota's chrome lug nuts swell such that the lug wrench no longer fits the nuts. Owners confronted with flat tires are stranded on roadsides, potentially out of cell phone range, because they are unable to change the tire. I personally was stranded at midnight due to this defect. I alerted my Toyota dealership in Peoria, Illinois. They said they were aware of the issue on Sequoias and Sienas and that the could not keep enough lug nuts in stock. Toyota has provided no formal notice to owners of this latent defect and safety hazard. Both the Toyota dealership and Toyota care refused to provide without charge replacement lug nuts.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER 6 YEARS. REPAIR PART FOR AIRBAG SYSTEM $1627. WHY WOULD THIS PART BREAK? DOESN'T GET USED. JUST SIT'S IN THE CAR. SHOULD BE A FAULTY MANUFACTURED PART. NO ONE IN AREA HAS THE PART. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING TOYOTA SHOULD BE COVERING.
