Recent 2025 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Unknown or Other · reported Nov 10, 2026
The right passenger interior door handle broke after 35k miles on a 2025 model. After looking into this, it seems to be a common problem not only on the Sequoias, but also the Tundras as they have the same door mechanism. This can lead to a safety risk if there is an emergency and the passenger has to get out of the vehicle quickly and they are not able to open the door from the inside.
Service Brakes · reported Oct 3, 2026
I am experiencing severe/violent front brake vibration during prolonged steep downhill descents. The vibration occurs while braking on the descent and returns to normal once I reach the bottom. It lead so severe it shook the entire vehicle.
Structure · reported Sep 14, 2026
We have had 3 interior door handles malfunction within 12,000 miles. This poses a serious risk if the vehicle was in an accident where there was a fire and the interior door handle malfunctioned. Toyota has yet to publish a recall, but it is widely documented online and our dealer service advisor has mentioned this is a serious problem they have seen on other models as well. The three handles have broken on three different occasions: Front driver(2/13/2026), rear driver-side (8/14/2026), and most recently front passenger side (9/13/2026)
Seats · reported Sep 4, 2026
Driver side seat, lower molding breaking. Stress from entering and exiting the vehicle. Know issue from research I've done
Structure · reported 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.
