2025 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HYBRID

Filed Sep 3, 2026


Interior door handle broke, driver side. Vehicle is just over a year old with 7K miles. Apparently Toyota has confirmed this is defective part, the item is currently back ordered and I'm at 10 plus days waiting for a replacement. This prevents a safety hazard on exiting the vehicle in an emergency.

The roof rail is detaching from front to back due to weak clips or tabs, which can easily break and cause the rails to fall off while driving, posing a safety risk. Toyota attributes this issue to external factors and advises owners to avoid tunnel car washes, as they can also cause the tabs to break, resulting in the roof rails falling off during driving. Additionally, water can now enter the rails and the cabin.

2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

Filed Aug 17, 2026


My 2003 Sequoia was in the garage for a check on the brakes. I also asked them to check the frame for any rust issues, because I had previously been concerned about it earlier. They reported to me that the car should be off the road because the rust in the frame was so severe. They said they would not put it up on the lift anymore because it could break in half. The stabilizer was barely connected at one end. There were holes completely through the frame at several places. I know from my…
