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 additional safety hazard for our family being stranded far from potential help due to this issue. Since this is a known issue covered under a recall for other models with the same issue I am asking that my vehicle be included in the recall so that we can have confidence to use this vehicle as intended. We bought a Toyota and a lifetime Toyota owners due to the reputation of reliability that we could depend on the vehicle to get us across the country in safety. Not including our vehicle in this recall is breaking the trust that we have in the brand to do the right thing to cover their mistakes. I am requesting that the recall be consistent to cover all the engines impacted by manufacturing debris including the hybrid variants of the motor.

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.

Able to lock car while keys are in the front cup holders. Have to close rear hatch manually. Dash button, key fob button and door button do not work. Others have been complaining about this on the internet. Driver side door has to be forced to roll up. Pull button to roll up. Goes up and then opens back up about two thirds of the way.

The rearview mirror in my 2023 Toyota Sequoia is a digital camera-based system rather than a traditional reflective mirror. The issue is that the camera used for this system has a low resolution and performs poorly in low-light conditions, making it difficult to see clearly at night. This creates a significant safety risk, as rear visibility is crucial when driving at night, especially when changing lanes, reversing, or maneuvering in areas with limited lighting. Toyota has since introduced an improved, higher-resolution version of this camera in newer models such as the Toyota Tacoma, which provides significantly better night visibility. However, despite acknowledging the issue and investigating potential solutions, Toyota has stated that the newer, higher-quality camera is “not compatible” with the Sequoia and therefore cannot be retrofitted to address the problem. This issue has been raised with Toyota, and their investigation confirmed the problem. However, they have not provided a solution or corrective action for existing Sequoia owners. The problem is consistent and has been observed repeatedly in nighttime driving conditions. The vehicle has not displayed any warning messages or error indicators related to the rearview camera system. Given the importance of rear visibility for safe driving, the poor performance of the current system presents a potential hazard to drivers and other road users. A malfunctioning or inadequate rearview camera system increases the risk of accidents, particularly in low-light situations where the driver is relying on it for visibility. I request that this issue be reviewed and addressed to ensure that affected vehicles are equipped with safe and functional rearview systems.
