In owners' words
Complaint narratives as filed with NHTSA, trimmed for length.
-
Hybrid system malfunctioned and engine completely seized up. Dealer/Toyota is replacing the short block and both turbos on my Sequoia. This seems to be the same issue as the Tundra engines.
-
AWD System the following massage keep coming up "A malfunction in the All-wheel Drive system has been detected". I took the vehicle to the dealership to be inspected. at this moment nobody can find the problem for this issue.
-
I just bought a 2026 sequoia and the sunroof exploded all of a sudden while driving down the road and almost caused a serious wreck
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 6, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
