2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA — Complaint #1891151
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION filed April 28, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1891151 (ODI reference 11519436) concerns a 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA and was filed on April 28, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 14, 2023. The vehicle had 187,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Massachusetts based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA SEQUOIA cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
