Equipment problem #1

Fuel filler door hinge and pin does not work properly. The hinge, door, and pin are bent. This prohibits 1) opening the door, 2) filling the gas tank, and 3) the door from closing properly. The spacing around the door is not equal and is askew, tilted to the bottom right and dips inward. Toyota seems to have used this design on other models, eg camry, sienna, etc. I located a NHTSA customer support bulletin for those models with a similar fuel filler door hinge and pin design; however, I was not able to not locate one for a 2019 Toyota Sequoia. Your website does not allow video uploads, so 3 photos are attached: 1) widest point the door will open with assistance, 2) widest door will open without assistance, and 3) the door closed. Please look into this matter. Please 1) provide replacement for current owners, and 2) send feedback to Toyota to engineer a better option for future vehicles. Many thanks,.

Equipment problem #2

On February 23rd, 2021, while driving approximately 60 miles per hour on I-40, the moon roof on my 2019 Toyota Sequoia inexplicably exploded. It was well before rush hour and there was no traffic to send debris towards me. Nothing hit me. The glass exploded outward. There was no other damage to the roof of my vehicle.
