2023 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that there was a recurring issue with the moonroof leaking. No warning light illuminated.

The failure mileage was approximately 2,000. The VIN was not available.”

“Windshield wipers stopped working in the middle of the cycle during heavy rain and stayed at a 45 degree angle causing visibility obstruction as well as not clearing rain. Dealer is investigating.”

“The vehicle is equipped with Towing mirror package. The problem is the size and placement of the mirrors. They are roughly 12” wide by 12” long and then have an arm that is solid that is 10” wide and 10” long when not extended. The placement of the mirrors on the vehicle completely blocks view of cross traffic with standard seating position. When stopped at a stop sign the driver will need to move their head to nearly touching the steering wheel to see around these mirrors through a small triangular glass section. …”
