On Wednesday, February 7, I was driving our 2007 Toyota Sequoia 4x4 on a rural road that had had fresh snow the night before, but no sand or other road salt was laid down. It is a curvy and hilly road. I had driven on the road an hour earlier with no problems. At approximately 9 am, I encountered a patch of ice where there was a curve in the road and my SUV that had brand new Michelin tires on collided with a tree that was part of an island in the middle of the road. The tree was approximately 15 inches in diameter. The collision struck directly on left side of engine by headlight'plowing in approximately 9 inches and deflated front tire. Front suspension was broken as is hood ( see picture). No airbags deployed?? I was going approximately 25-30 MPH at impact. My airbag on drivers side was recalled with Takata recall and replaced , but I wonder if it was installed properly or wrong? …

The rear latch would not work during a camping trip in a remote area. The rear seats had been removed as per the owners manual prior to the trip. The rear portion of the vehicle was full of camping gear, food, water, and our first aide kit . I sprained my hand and back while first attempting repeated times to open the tailgate and then having to resort to lifting heavy equipment through the back window and also over the passenger seats. We took the vehicle to a Toyota dealer at out first opportunity. We were told that Toyota was aware of the problem which was described to my wife and I as weak engineering and a plastic part also know to fail. We were told that the failure could have been raised by driving the vehicle on dusty roads, because the latch was not protected from dust and it was poorly designed and was likely to fail if it got dirty. …
