“The door lock actuator on each of the doors on the SUV have failed. The doors will not lock/unlock without using the key, and the only door with key access is the driver's door. The doors can be locked/unlocked from inside. The replacement parts seem excessively high, and it appears that this is a common occurrence on Toyota vehicles. Since the actuator is part of the door latch, I am concerned that the actuator failure may lead to a latch problem. This occurs when the vehicle is at rest.”
NHTSA complaint #11160786, filed 2018-12, 130,000 miles“The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Sequoia. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the contact noticed that the digital speed reader was providing a different reading from the speedometer reading. The difference was approximately 3 MPH greater on the speedometer.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle. …”
