I have 2013 Toyota, Sequoia blizzard pearl and my paint started chipping. I have reached out to corporate 3 separate times and they have refused to assist me in this matter. Based off the article listed below, I have a window up to 14 years which is quickly approaching and I have been denied by corporate twice and my local dealer.

2013 Toyota Sequoia limited (108,000 miles) rear lift gate around latch was not designed correctly to allow moisture out. Our vehicle is in pristine shape other than the rear lift gate latch. By the time you notice it, it’s too late and unfixable. I’ve seen these get so bad from doing internet research some people hold the door down with straps because the structural integrity is gone and the lift gate can’t be latched and could fly open. The ironic thing about this is it’s obvious Toyota has a problem. Toyota charges $750 - $1000 for a new unpainted lift gate, however no dealer in the united states can tell you when you’ll receive it because it’s on a nationwide backorder. We purchased this from a non-Toyota dealer September 2022 and did not (or even think I had to look for it) notice this until spring 2023.
We took our 2003 Toyota Sequoia to our local private garage here in maine and discovered it is uninspectable due to a totally rusting frame. They deemed it unsafe to drive or be on the road. We have had probably close to 15 Toyotas through the years and are so upset that this has happened and is not under recall. One previous tundra that we owned had a frame recalled and this one should be too.
