2006 Toyota SEQUOIA Structure Body Tailgate Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	929797
Internal NHTSA #	10465758
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	SEQUOIA
Model Year	2006
File date	20/07/11
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Pushed switch for power rear tailgate window, window assembly broke and window fell down into door. Upon examination, all components - regulator assembly and all connecting parts were severely corroded which led to failure. Less than 12 months later, rear tailgate outside handle broke; again under examination the entire interior latch assembly was severely corroded which caused failure. This in my opinion is a design or assembly defect. Water is not supposed to be leaking into the interior of the tailgate. From the extent of corrosion, this condition had been occurring for many years - most likely in my opinion immediately from the time that we acquired the vehicle new. The failure, while caused from a defect from the beginning of vehicle life, manifested itself after the vehicle warranty period and toyota is refusing to address. From some online research, i have found this to be a common problem.
