A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Front and rear parking assist sonar failed to work. The sonar failed to go off before hitting a 4 foot tall parking pole on passenger front bumper. Causing damage to the front bumper. Two days later a different driver backed into a 5 foot tall trash can on back driver bumper. Again, the sonar did not go off. The toyota dealership said they knew it was frustrating, but their best advice was just to drive it like we didn't have sonar. We explained we bought the vehicle for it's safety devices.
2014 toyota sequoia sr/5 I just leased the above vehicle. It is the third toyota passenger vehicle that I have owned and/or leased. This vehicle has a problem that poses a serious threat to life and limb of those who operate it as well as others on the highway and nearby. The problem is that instrument panel is so badly lighted in the daytime that during bright daylight hours with the instruments being shaded by their location within the panel they cannot be read.
Sunroof on vehicle exploded with no warning or visible cause when driving on interstate 70 a few miles west of denver, co. Explosion was sudden and loud causing immediate shattering of sunroof glass. Interior portion was closed fortunately or glass would have fallen into passenger compartment. 0225201
I was driving on I-10 in louisiana (driving from texas to georgia) when I heard a loud gunshot noise. I pulled over and looked at my tires and around the body of the car and then looked up on the roof. The sunroof was shattered with a huge hole in the middle. I had a dog and 2 and 4 year old in my car. No overpasses or other cars around me. Nothing hit the car. It was a spontaneous shatter. No dramatic weather changes.
