This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have a 2006 Toyota Sequoia SUV and the rear doors do not stay open unless they are opened very wide (fully). This has caused the door to close on me numerous times when climbing into the back of the truck to secure my children in their seats. Also, it is a danger for them as you never know what will cause it to close. The door will stay open if fully opened, but the space required to do so is not available in most consumer's garages. The middle door check was originally found to be defective by the Toyota dealer and they were replaced on both rear doors. Now the problem appears worse. The door used to stay open in the middle door-check position *most* of the time, but now most of the time it closes while securing the children. The Toyota dealer contacted Toyota, but they said it is working as designed, though they have had many calls about this issue. I don't really expect anything to be done, I just wanted to raise it as a safety issue that should be looked-at for future models.
