“1. 2007 Toyota Sequoia rear door latch broken. The event occurs by attempting to open the rear latch. 2. The failure occurs because the rear latch would jam, and the owner was just trying to open the door the normal way. This also occurs on the regular doors as well. 3. I will contact the dealership about the failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10340306, filed 2010-06, 79,764 miles“The rear latch which controls the opening of the rear hatch broke. This part is made of plastic (perhaps costing 0.30), and it is sheltered from direct sun and wear and tear by being covered with a part of the hatch which is made of steel. The hatch when this part is broken cannot be opened. This means one cannot gain access to the spare tire or the rear of the vehicle. This part costs over $90, and the labor to repair is approximately $170. Combined this approaches $300 with tax. …”
NHTSA complaint #10479277, filed 2012-10, 75,596 miles“The rear gate door or Deck lid will not open. with either key, or any other method. Every time this occurs, I have to take to the body shop to open and pay $200 for them to open it. They have to climb to the back, dismantle the rear door panels from the inside and undo some mechanisms to open it finally. The shop stated that they have had this problem with these Sequoias many times.”
