Complaints filed against the 2014 Toyota Sequoia are relatively sparse at 17 total, and no single system dominates. Tires, structure, and the fuel/propulsion system each drew a couple of reports. On the structural side, owners describe paint peeling from the roof and around window trim, with the affected area expanding over time. The fuel system reports center on hard-start and stalling conditions, with owners pointing to the fuel pump as the component involved, some noting difficulty sourcing a replacement part. The tire complaints are more individual in nature: one involves a routine brake inspection finding, and another describes sidewall damage and stud loss on studded tires after relatively low mileage, though that situation involves an aftermarket tire used in unusually demanding conditions.

By System
The 2014 Toyota Sequoia has two recalls, the more serious affecting vehicles fitted with Southeast Toyota accessory 20-inch Rockstar wheels, where the lug nuts can crack and detach and allow a wheel to separate from the vehicle while driving.
The second recall covers the hydraulic power steering gear assembly, which can develop an oil leak. When enough fluid escapes, the power steering assist can cut out suddenly, leaving the driver fighting significantly heavier steering effort, particularly at low speeds or during parking maneuvers.
